I fitted mine myself, and the easiest place to put it was down in behind the climate controls.

Worst case senario - it may have fallen further back deeper into the dash.

Is the connection wired to the glove box? Can you follow the wire that is still connected to it?

If I understand correctly.

You'll just need to remove the stereo and the box should be hanging from the back of the unit, by a ground wire(brown) and CD changer connection(black I think).

Stereo release keys can be got from ebay for a few quid, or a friendly auto electrics place may lend you them, if you don't already have them.

my car was fitted with one of VWs ipod connectors you can get as an option. the problem i have is that the wire that plugs into the actual ipod has come out of the box it is connected. i can plug the ipod into the wire but it does not do anything. i have removed the glove box and seen the other side of the wire which looks like it runs behind the stereo, when i pulled out the stereo i cannot see where it should plug into :cry: hopefully that makes a bit more sense mate
