MK4 2017 change from stock to aftermarket headunit
Posted: Wed Oct 30, 2024 10:08 am
Hi all,
I'm looking to swap my stock headunit in my MK4 2017 Caddy Maxi to an aftermarket one to use with android auto for navigation. I'm looking at this one in particular:

I am a complete novice when it comes to this stuff, so I called up a local car electrician to see if he could fit it, and he mentioned something about not being able to do it due to a radio code and some security when removing the stock headunit.
I just need to know, what exactly do I need to do to be able to swap out the headunit for a new one, without messing anything else up? Do I need to take it to an official VW dealer?
Thanks!
