Hi there!

Long time VASKer, first time with anything newer than a MK3 Golf.

So I've just got my hands on a 2009 VW Scirocco, and the stereo is way too low spec for what I want it for.
What did I do? Make a purchase on AliExpress. I bought this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000080878729.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3dd24c4dXV5ALP
My first question, has anyone bought one of these?
My second, will it be plug and go, or will I have to recode some crap.
Third question, if I have to recode, how do I do that without it costing an arm and a leg.

Thanks in advance!

It shouldn?t need recoding I would think. And your car being 2009 your Canbus should be a new enough version not to cause battery drain.
Your main concern I?d say would be what plugs it comes with and whether your car still has the original plugs too.
I like that it has wireless CarPlay.

Finally they have got Android Auto working on the Android platform.
Should be plug and play though yes.
