Was looking to install a 7inch all in one GPS unit in my car. Not the flip kind. Was looking at the Pioneer AVIC-Z2. Will this fit a jetta without major modification?? HELP! ---

You can then put it back to 100% stock without any visual flaws. ---

Will depth be a problem?? I noticed that the all in one navigation units are really big. Is there enough room behind the stock radio to accomodate an aftermarket unit?? ---

im sure this has been done before. check out v dub forums… from my experience, just want to make sure you cut where you’re supposed to cut. and once you cut, you cant control+z. ---

[www.dubsinthebuff.com](http://www.dubsinthebuff.com) is a great local forum. [www.vwvortex.com](http://www.vwvortex.com) has a lot of archived information, but may God be with you if you try to make a new thread. You’ve got room for a double din head unit in your dash without any cutting. You just lose that little pocket above the stock HU. According to crutchfield you’ve got about 6 1/2 inches of depth to work with. IIRC there wasn’t a whole lot of room back there for shoving wires either, but it’s been 3 years since I had the radio out of the MKIV that I used to have.

the z2 will fit in the jetta dash. its the same size as my d3, which fits perfectly. like fry said, check vortex. they have a ton of diy’s on how to do it. if you don’t have any experience the install could take 4+ hours. there isn’t a lot of room back there, but it will fit. its just tight. ---

If you don’t have the radio removal keys, you can use the butt end of jigsaw blades. :snky: ---
