I have a 2005 Touareg with 11 speaker stereo system. I was going to get a Bluetooth stereo installed but the car stereo engineer said that it’s almost impossible because the speakers are digital.He said he can’t be done but everything would have to be rewired and be very expensive.

Does anyone know of a aftermarket Stereo that will work in my situation?

This is the same unit I have. I mean same design. You get rid of the bulky peeling buttons and you get more screen real estate. You won’t have a power off/on button. The device powers on/off with key in ignition position. You might not be able to use a Bluetooth obd adaptor with. Ask the seller before buying. And I agree this is the best unit for the Treg out there. Get the max RAM you can afford. Latest ones have 6 gigabytes. I’m getting one for a friend. I can try to get a discount from the seller if you are ready to purchase.

Why would you need a BT adapter? The one I bought and provided link had BT built-in.

What phone do you have. The unit support Carplay. Google it and see how it works if you haven’t used it before. Orherwise you can stream music over bluetooth the old way.

contact Crutchfield regarding the stereo. a friend of mine worked with them for updating his stereo/bluetooth/nav system on his Toureg and he was extremely satisified with their suggestions, installation kits,wiring harness,pricing and information. i think it was 650 dollars and made for a simple installation.

First off, thanks for the great lead on this unit! I'm looking to upgrade my 05 V8's head unit prior to an upcoming road trip (including to the Anderson/Clemson area funnily enough!).

Anywho, could anybody tell me if I'll be able to utilize the factory gps receiver with this unit, or will it only work with the included gps receiver?

Not a big deal either way, just wondering mostly. Thanks again.

Has anyone purchased one of these kits? I want to keep the factory radio and am thinking of getting the iPhone/iPod/iPad with AUX kit.

Bluetooth and iPhone/iPod/AUX Kits for Volkswagen Touareg 2002-2010 – GTA Car Kits

"Installation requires the removal of the stock radio and connecting the kit at the back via open external CD-changer port."

Do non-navigation HU's have the CD changer port? My 2008 Treg has satellite radio but no changer changer.
