Suitable for your vehicle

This Cartronix car radio is suitable for:

• Volkswagen Passat (2005 to 2015)

Important notes:

For model years before 2010, additional steps are required to prevent the car radio from draining the battery. We recommend consulting an installation specialist or our partner, Cartop Automotive, for this.
For model years from 2010 onwards, installation is completely plug-and-play.
Thanks to the built-in CAN-bus module, factory functions such as steering wheel controls and parking sensors are fully retained.
