[QUOTE="chucky2, post: 5831871, member: 608117"] Well, it's $200 shipped, but the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X693 from Crutchfield.com would be a pretty nice unit for her. With all the color options on it, it should let her match the color perfectly...seems the rest of the options it has fit what you're looking for as well. Walking through the order process at Crutchfield.com, it looks like Jetta's may or may not have some special things you need to do the install...might want to head on over there and check that out before doing this for her so you know what to expect. If she/you can wait for a bit, it looks like this deck hasn't hit almost any of the other eTailers yet...given Crutchfield.com is usually more expensive than someone like SonicElectronix.com, it might behoove you to wait a bit...seems like a few of this years model decks are due to hit in the next month.... Chuck P.S. I myself (brother included) cannot stand the F'd up right wheel on these, so if you're thinking about going with this deck, you might try and find at least a Kenwood that had the right wheel setup like this (FM band and track selection is push left and right, not rotate clockwise/counterclockwise as you'd think), so she can decide if that's ok for her or not. It'd **** to get it all put in, and then all you hear about is 'Yeah, I appreciate you helping me out with that, but, I hate that confusing button thingie!'
