supa_ant 10 Posted May 10, 2012 Just a quick one guys. My 94 vr has a Sony tape player and Sony 10 disc changer in the boot, I was just wondering if these were factory fitted? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted May 10, 2012 Mostly stereo's were retro fitted by the dealerships that sold the cars. i think they pretty much came into the uk without radio's fitted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Just a quick one guys. My 94 vr has a Sony tape player and Sony 10 disc changer in the boot, I was just wondering if these were factory fitted? Depending on the Sony model number you have, they were from the Accessory Catalogue for VW's showrooms. I have a Sony Radio-Cassette Unit XR-C620RDS with 10CD disc changer CDX-91 and joystick control unit RM-X2S which the original owner opted for rather than the Storm's standard package CDX- 600DSP radio/CD player. You could add speakers as well. Since acquired a Sony CDX-600 to go back the Storm's brochure standard. The standard fit to the VR6 when purchased new was a Sony XR-6659RDS. If you went the Sony route and not the other - Panasonic to 1993 iirc. All my new Scirocco's didn't come with a radio fitted by Karmann. I used to take the car without radio and fit my own Pioneer at the time. VW's ICE brochure was refered to as "Trade-Up". Factory fitting of radios didn't start until after Corrado ceased production for UK deliveries as above. List is here on post numbr 27... http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?52860-Keep-it-original/page3&highlight=Radio+CDX600DSP .

dr_mat 0 Posted May 11, 2012 I've got two non-working 6659s .. :-( I've been idly watching for a suitable CD-based system that's going to not look way out of place in the car for some time. Green LEDs are so far out of fashion these days ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 17 Posted May 11, 2012 Mine has an early Alpine cassette player and CD changer but I still have the original Sony Cassette player - XR-C210MK2 and CD changer. Going to sell if anyone is interested so I can get a single CD head unit from the correct age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Chris, Bit of a long shot but do you still have the original sony cassette stereo for sale and if so does it all still work ok? And how much?

fendervg 30 Posted September 20, 2012 Gamma IV Cassette Player has green illumination, turny dial knobs and CD changer control - if you want a really good CD player that looks well in an old school VAG, try a Nakamichi CD35/45 or CD300 or a Becker - but be prepared for a raid on your wallet or cc.
