I have a MK4. I originally installed a "not so stellar" radio and it died a year later. Who has a radio brand that they would recommend? And speakers. I presently have four 7" round in the back of the cockpit, behind the seats. TIA FYI.... I switched to Blue Tooth, but think I want a radio instead.
