03 MK4 GLI radio head unit harness?

[bitemeken]

Hey guys, I'm new here. Just hoping to get some help for my headunit upgrading.
I got a JVC bluetooth single din for cheap. Now I figured I need PAC C2R-VW2 cuz of the monsoon system.
For those vee dubs out there do you guys know any other way to do this? May be a cheaper way?
Thanks a lots

You do not need the can-bus system.
The standard harness will do.

Hey Mechengg, Thank you.
I took this from picknpull out of a early mk4 golf, do you think this one will work?

A friend of mine just bought VW stereo removal tools at Walmart last week. Thought that was a strange place to find them.

I finally got the deck in today after like one year...The last year of college was busier than I thought.
Here is how the dash looks now.

Here are parts and tools for someone in my case. (2003, GLI, VR6, with Monsoon, no steering control)
Parts

Antenna

Tools

(Crimp was hard to use but get the job done, not recommend but you can always use mine, I mean if you don't mind..)
Dash Pocket, JVC Deck are from Kijiji

Here is how I did mine
1st, take the old deck out. I realize one of secure hook on my old Monsoon is broken and stuck inside the dash. Thats after I bought 2 set of tools.

2nd, Connect them

3rd, Put them into dash.

Crutchfield sent me 2 harness already. The radio will turn off after you lock the car but will stay on after you take the key out of ignition.
What ever, Ill live with it.
Here you have it!
Thank!

You can always take the 12V switched power from the 75X terminal under the dash or any other fused switched power source in the vehicle instead of just using the dash connector. That is what i have done for all of my vehicles and it works better
