Help with replacing factory radio in 2005 VW Jetta?

[Brian N]

I just bought a 2005 VW Jetta (newer model, actually 2005.5). The previous owner replaced the factory radio head unit with some Sony piece of crap, and I want to reinstall the original factory head unit. I want to make sure the satellite radio and the steering wheel controls still work with the new radio. So the question is, is there a particular VW radio that I need to buy that works with the satellite and steering wheel, or do all the cars use the same radio (regardless of whether they have satellite radio or steering wheel controls)? What else do I need to look for to get everything working like it did originally?

Thanks!

For the 2005.5 You need to buy the Monsoon deck that came with the car, you can find on on the classifieds of VwVortex, and as far as i know, it should work with satalite radio.

If your confused or anyhting with it, you can ask in the forums there.
