Default Complete radio install kit for 2000 GLS?...

To install a new radio I need a dash mounting kit, a main wiring harness adapter, an antenna harness adapter, and a pair of removal tools for the existing radio. I can get the whole mess from Crutchfield for ~$50. Does anyone have a source for all of it, any cheaper? Thanks for any insight. Cheers!

The advantage to the Crutchfield kit is it will probably work. These people are the pros in the aftermarket industry.

The best dash kit is the American International, I think it is VWK1008. It is the only one that doesn't have weird bumps on the sides. You can find them for around $10 the vw harness and antenna adapter should be under $20

I'm not sure which kit crutchfield supplies.

AI kit


Scosche kit


Metra kit

Belated thanks for the info. I found the AI kit w/harness adapter and antenna adapter from an ebay seller for just a little over twenty bucks for the whole mess. Went in great.
