Since I am getting a new job soon I am going to begin looking for a new vehicle. I really like volkswagens however they have the monsoon system. I am not looking for people's opinions on VW I just want to know how difficult it is to replace audio equipment in VW's... more specifically the GTI's. I have always wanted a GTI but if I can't do audio in it there is no point. So please share experiences.

Thanks,
Adam

    I think VW's are fun little, well-built vehicles.

    Oh, and yes, I always aim to please.

    I used to never like VW's. Don't know why, they just never caught my attention. Lately though I've thought the Jetta looks pretty reasonable.

    Yeah, why didn't you say so!! :rolleyes: ;):D

    We're just playing with ya, man.

    I have no experience with the Monsoon system, besides playing with the bass, mid, and treble controls trying to get it to sound decent.

    You gonna get rid of your Bonneville? I like those cars.

    VW's arent bad cars although they never seem to do well in those build quality surveys.

    Plus they seem to be too small.

    I wouldnt buy one.
