break light switch connected to the break pedal. EPC light should come on if this fails.

I think it only costs about a £12 and is fairly easy to replace yourself.

Yup as ben says really easy to change - just twists out and unplugs from infront of the brake pedal - all you have to remove is the cover above the pedals which is two T20 torx screws worth of work :)

Wrong thread, but ill help ya :P

No you cant use the CD Changer unforunately - VW gear is only compatible with VW HUs

Blaupunkt are very good - i have one in mine sound quality is fantastic

And yes you do, though there are adapters so you dont have to cut the ends off (the wiring isnt that great to be honest!!)
