I'm going to attempt to install a new stereo this evening because my stock radio unit failed a couple weeks back. I bought the new equipment from crutchfield. Here's the inventory of parts:
I wanted carplay so I bought the Kenwood DDX6703S.
Euro antenna adapter
Scosche dash kit
idatalink maestro ADS-MRR module (for keeping steering wheel controls functional)
idatalink interface harness (wiring harness for the VW).
The backup camera is just a $20 camera from Amazon, but it'll work with the kenwood unit. I don't need a backup camera for backing the car, but for hooking up to my utility trailer and camper.
I'm a little nervous about this project. My nephew is a car audio nut and said he'd help me, but it would be Sunday before we could meet up. So, I'm going to start the install and if I have challenges, get him to help me finish it Sunday.
Question: Anyone know if the stock VW bluetooth and internal mic are a good choice, or should I use the kenwood bluetooth and external mic (maybe mount it above my mirror?)? Just not sure which one will have superior call quality. Any opinions would be appreciated on that.
