[QUOTE="Hybrids-M3, post: 8061497, member: 607905"] Battery mocked up [IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/davyhay/2013%20Jetta%20rebuild/IMG_1221.jpg[/IMG] Though it would seem to be the easiest part, I have had a time getting the W505 to look good in the dash. The MKIV cars have a radio opening slightly larger than double-din. The cage that came with the radio fits in there perfectly, but then the radio sticks out a mile and looks like turds. I had to do major surgery on the trim ring so that it would flush in the dash and not stick out, allowing me to move the radio back in the dash. However, as you can see, there are gaps on the sides and top of the radio. Normally, I would just mold this all in, but that is nearly impossible and still keep the cupholders. I will probably end up adding some ABS strips to the outside of the trim ring to make it larger and fill the gaps. Anyway, I sanded all the plastic down and sprayed it with Plastidip black to give everything a uniform appearance.
