Default Phatbox now only $129

The phatbox digital music system is only $129 listed below. I ordered one for my 2000 coupe but am unsure how to install it. I understand that it can be difficult to install in the cargo bin where the cd changer is located but it has been done. Any one want to give us a needed list of supplies and instructions?<ul><li><a href="https://www.1stvwparts.com/specials.php">Phatbox</a></li></ul>

Default yeah I agree

it seems like the first few are being delivered now, so I just want to make sure that the "vw" system will work in our cars before getting it.

Default I have ordered one as well. You need a cable as well, which is about $50.

I ordered it from WorldImpex, ePuffy ordered it from Clairparts. He has his PhatNoise in, I have my cable in - neither of us has both (his cable is due today, my PhatNoise is due Monday).

Amazing the CABLE is almost 1/2 the price of the hard drive/electronics/etc.!!!<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1251420.phtml">Other PhatNoise thread</a></li></ul>

Default Yes, It does work with the dash display. It's plug and play...

10 minute install in the trunk cubby area of the roadster. Disconnected the cd changer and connected Phatbox. Owned mine for about 1.5 years now and I consider it the best mod!!!

Default dash display only says disk 1, song xx

but it talks to you. For example if you press 4 on your radio you can sort by artist and the FF button takes you to the next one. It tells you who the artist is each time. In my roadster, it is on teh small recessed shelf in the trunk. I just plugged in teh CD changer cable and spent 30 seconds with the setup. It's awesome except I paid 339 a month ago.

Enjoy it!
