I found a good deal on one out of a 1998 beatle... can someone tell me if I can make it work? thanks, Steve oasis Thu Jan 24, 2008 12:00 pm You may SOL. VW made two different CD changers to go with their factory radio offerings. I don't think there was an adaptor to allow an earlier radio work with a later changer or vice versa. I am not sure of the year change but you may have found it, unlucky you. You're darn close. Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
