• The TDIClub classifieds section is a heavily trafficked section of the forum that encompasses want-to-buy (WTB) and for-sale (FS) threads for the entire world. Due to the demanding nature and fast pace of this section, it is imperative that you know and understand the rules. It is also important to remember that this is the only parts classifieds section.

    Cross-posting and posting classifieds in the regional sections (except the dedicated thread in Ontario) is not permitted.

    Multiple items should be sold in one thread. Make sure to provide a description for all items in your post along with pictures and prices. If you start multiple threads with individual items, they will be locked or combined at the discretion of the moderators.

    Here is a quick outline of the classifieds section rules. If you don't follow these rules, you subject yourself to thread deletion, thread combination, infractions, or posting privilege revocation.

    Thread titles:
    • Put FS or WTB in your thread title. This will let other users know if you are selling or buying.
    • Briefly describe what you are selling. Thread titles have limited space. Be as descriptive, yet succinct, as possible.
    • Put your location in the title.
    • If space allows, put your price in the title

    Title example (single item): "FS: 2004 Mk4/BEW cylinder head - Portland, OR - $500"
    Title example (multiple items): "FS: MK6 fog lights, front bumper, headlights, grill - Detroit, MI"
    Title example (car part-out): "FS: Mk3 Jetta parting out engine & interior - Dallas, TX"

    Thread text descriptions and pictures:
    • All for-sale threads must include pictures of the items that you are selling. One picture is sufficient, but multiple pictures with different angles will help buyers. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you don't know how to post pictures on TDIClub, see this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=286691
    • All for-sale threads must include a description. We don't charge per-word, so be as descriptive as possible. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for buyers.
    • All for-sale threads must include a price. Auctions and bidding are not allowed. If you want to auction something off, use eBay.
    No picture, no price, NO SALE!

    Thread maintenance/updates/bumps:
    • When you sell something, update your thread with "SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title.
    • If you have multiple items for sale, update your thread as each item has been sold. When everything has been sold, updated the thread with "ALL ITEMS SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title when all items have been sold.
    • If you bump your thread, please delete old bumps by clicking on EDIT and then deleting the old bump. This will reduce clutter in your thread and make it easier to read. It also makes you look less desperate.
    • If you drop your price, please update your first post in addition to posting the new price. If you would like the thread title changed, click on the report post icon and let a moderator know what you would like the title changed to.

    Moderator intervention and infraction points:
    Moderators will be monitoring the classifieds section. If a moderator determines that you have not been following the rules listed above, corrections will be made and infraction points will be assessed to your account.

    What is an infraction point? Simple - it's a system of keeping track of user behavior. A moderator can assign a point value based on the severity of the infraction, as well as an expiration date on the points assessed. If you accumulate a certain number of points, the system will auto-ban you for a predefined amount of time. The more points you accumulate, the longer your ban period will be.

    One example of points is as follows: multiple threads will be combined into a single thread, with the number of infraction points assessed corresponding to the number of threads merged. If we merge four threads into one, then you will be assessed four points that expire in 30 days. When you reach five points, the system will auto-ban you for one day.*

    *This is an example based on the current infraction system structure. We reserve the right to modify the infraction system at any time without notice or updates to this announcement.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and good luck with your sales and searches! :)

Kenwood Stereo with Sirius for Passat or Jetta FS

Ancient thread price change bumpola!

I had had it with the OE stereo in my Jetta, but didn't want to hack up the dash to upgrade. I went to Crutchfield and bought this system. I liked it so much that I transplanted it to the Passat when I bought it. It fits perfectly in the double DIN opening in the A4 Jetta and B5.5 (probably B5 as well) Passats, with no modifications, and the wiring is simple. The system consists of:
The KRC-535 head unit: AM/FM/Cassette receiver, with security motorized face plate,
KDC-D301 single CD player, with graphic display, and
KTC-SR902 Sirius satellite radio receiver.

You can adjust the output of the head unit to match a number of different speaker types, and it has a full range of audio controls: Bass, treble, midrange, balance, fader, and volume offset, as well as equalizer types like Jazz, Top40, Rock, etc. It can also be security coded for theft deterrent; I never did this. All Sirius functions can be controlled from the head unit, including 18 satellite presets. The CD is also controlled from the head unit. There is a remote control for the unit which has rarely been used. The faceplates of both the head unit and the CD can be removed, and kept in hard protective cases. The newer units just have cloth bags.
The Sirius receiver is small and can be mounted under the dash or other close by hiding places. The antenna shown in the photograph is the small TERK version, but I'll include the original larger one as well. Both have long leads to let you put it wherever you like. I was perfectly satisfied with it just placed on the dash of the Passat. It stayed put and didn't scratch the dash.
There are pictures of all of the components, how it looked in the Passat, and the wiring at THIS LINK
The wiring harness is currently mated to the Crutchfield plug for the Passat, but I have the harness for an A4 Jetta also. If you have the Jetta, the leads will not be soldered; if you have a Passat, you'll be able to plug it in and go. (My car had the Monsoon system, but I don't think there's a difference in the plug if your car does not. You could ask Crutchfield.) Included is the VW antenna adaptor for either car. The leads are properly color coded, and the ones from the radio itself are labeled as to function. I have the manuals for all three pieces, as well as the Crutchfield installation instructions for either car. They'll be shipped in the original Kenwood boxes.
My original cost on the set was $550. I was originally asking $235 shipped. PRICE DROP to $150 shipped (Obviously PayPal or MO are fine for payment) Anybody local (near Charlotte), can save the shipping. PM me here or email me here with any questions. Thanks!

Also: Wanted to mention that
1) This unit will probably fit any VW or other vehicle that has a double-sized DIN opening in the dash.
2) You will need an active Sirius subscription for the satellite to work. All they need to set you up is the unit serial #. Takes about five minutes to activate.

Okay, did I mention that one of the reasons I chose this unit is that the illumination is switchable to match VW's Blue/Red dash scheme? Looks great!!!

He'p me get this stuff a new home.

And back from the dead, I want this stuff out of the house. Hasn't been in the garage or basement, I have all the boxes and (pretty sure) all the manuals.
$150 Shipped! Talk to me, eh?

I gotta get some sort of cred for thread longevity in the classifieds, don't I?

I really want/need $100 in my hands when we're done. That plus actual shipping and PP fees? Bonus for local exchange (buyer bearing beer...)
