## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost perfect
*by A***S on August 3, 2022*

I really like this radio. It has a sort of retro look that fit in my 1990s BMW perfectly. Because the BMW already has some blue trim colors on the inside, I got the blue screen display which looks more modern than the orange screen. The sound quality is very good compared to the previous radio and it tunes into radio stations quite precisely. The only downside for me is that the USB port does not charge at the same time. It’s just for attaching music. This means you need a separate charger if you connect an iPod or something else.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits Perfectly in 2001 Volkswagen Golf/Jetta
*by D***O on December 16, 2021*

If you have a factory single-DIN head unit in your MK4 VW Golf/Jetta, this VDO/Continental unit is (almost) plug-and-play. No wiring harness adapter, antenna adapter, or trim kit necessary. Literally just pull your factory unit out, unplug the connectors from the factory unit, cut the K-Line wire from the factory wiring harness (read more about below), plug the connectors into the VDO/Continental unit, slide the VDO/Continental unit back into the center console, and clip on the included trim plate. I actually bought both an aftermarket wiring harness and antenna adapter for the install, neither of which I wound up using after realizing the pin-outs on the VDO/Continental match the factory wiring harness.One important step though as mentioned above is cutting the K-Line wire to the radio. You can find info on it through Google, but the short of it is that late-90's/early-2000's (pre-CAN) VWs and Audis (and likely other cars) had the factory head unit on this K-Line bus. This bus is used by OBD2 scan tools to initiate communications with the ECU/car modules, and aftermarket head units don't account for this (rightfully so). So leaving the K-Line intact to aftermarket head units will often bring down the whole the bus, resulting in a no-comm through the OBD2 port (and also potentially killing the attached scanner). For similar reasons, you'll also likely need to leave the connector for the factory CD changer unplugged. Please double-check this info during your install as I'm going off memory (which is often bad), but in the VDO/Continental instructions I believe the K-Line is on A3 ("Telephone Mute Low") and the factory CD changer controls are all on the E connector.As far as the head unit itself, it's been great. The sound quality is better than OEM, as is the AM/FM reception. And like many other reviewers of the TR712UB-BU and TR7412UB-OR on Amazon have mentioned, the look and feel of the head unit is very OEM (ie; clean and high-quality).I only have two gripes. The first is the same as what another reviewer, Mark S McGriff, mentioned: the backlight on the LCD display isn't dimmable. It's just on and off. On my car using the factory harness, it's actually just always-on whenever the ignition is on, but since there's a dedicated pin-out for "Illumination" on the VDO/Continental you should be able to tie the backlight to the headlight power feed if it really bothers you. And the second issue is that the VDO/Continental unit doesn't sit face-flush in the dash of my 2001 Volkswagen. It sticks out quite a bit, so definitely doesn't look OEM in that regard. Disappointing but obviously not the fault of the manufacturer as this head unit isn't advertised as a direct fit in my application.Even with those two gripes, I still highly recommend the VDO/Continental. I plan to install these in a couple of my other old cars.
