CAC FAVWOLD7 Double DIN Fascia Kit for Volkswagen Golf, Passat, Polo, Transporter, Bora (1998-2010)

Transform your classic VW interior with a universal fascia engineered for multiple Volkswagen models.

Product Overview

The CAC FAVWOLD7 Double DIN Fascia Kit delivers cross-platform compatibility for Volkswagen's late 1990s to 2010 model range, covering Golf (Mk4), Passat (B5/B5.5), Polo (9N), Transporter (T5), and Bora/Jetta (Mk4). This universal fascia plate provides a professional mounting solution for standard 173mm x 98mm double DIN aftermarket head units while maintaining factory-style dashboard integration. Manufactured from high-quality ABS plastic with a matte black finish, the FAVWOLD7 accommodates the slight dimensional variations across Volkswagen's platform architecture from this era. Minor trimming may be required depending on specific vehicle model and year, making this an installer-friendly solution for workshops handling multiple VW variants.

The 173mm x 101mm internal opening accepts standard double DIN receivers including modern Apple CarPlay and Android Auto units, making it ideal for customers upgrading aging factory systems to contemporary connectivity standards.

Features & Benefits

Cross-Platform Compatibility: One fascia covers five Volkswagen model lines spanning 12 years—essential for workshops maintaining inventory efficiency without sacrificing fitment quality across VW's popular pre-2010 range.

Standard DIN Sizing: The 173mm x 101mm opening accepts universal double DIN receivers, ensuring compatibility with virtually every aftermarket head unit from Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony, Alpine, and JVC—no proprietary sizing complications.

Trim-Adjustable Design: ABS construction allows minor modifications to accommodate vehicle-specific dashboard variations across Golf Mk4, Passat B5, and Polo 9N generations without compromising structural integrity or appearance.

Heat-Resistant Construction: ABS plastic maintains dimensional stability through Australian summer heat cycles, preventing the warping and colour fade common with lower-grade materials in Perth's 40°C+ cabin temperatures.

Factory Aesthetic Integration: Matte black finish matches Volkswagen's interior trim specifications from this era, ensuring aftermarket installations maintain resale value rather than appearing as obvious modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fascia include wiring harnesses or installation hardware?

No, this is the fascia plate only. You'll need a Volkswagen-specific ISO harness (varies by model and year), antenna adapter, and potentially steering wheel control interface—all available separately. Confirm your specific vehicle's requirements before ordering.

Will this fit my 2005 Golf or 2011 Polo?

The Golf fitment ends at 2004 (Mk4 generation), and Polo coverage extends through 2010 (9N generation). The 2005+ Golf Mk5 and 2011+ Polo 6R require different fascias due to dashboard redesigns. Always verify your vehicle's chassis code and build date.

Why does this fascia require trimming on some vehicles?

Volkswagen used slight dashboard variations across markets and model years within the same generation. The Golf Mk4, for example, had minor dimensional differences between early and late production. Test-fitting allows adjustment for these variations while maintaining one SKU across multiple platforms.

Can I install touchscreen head units with this fascia?

Yes, any standard double DIN touchscreen receiver measuring 173mm W x 98mm H will fit. Most modern Apple CarPlay/Android Auto units adhere to these dimensions. Verify your head unit's exact bezel size before ordering, as some models have slightly oversized surrounds.

Which wiring harness do I need for my specific VW model?

Harness requirements vary significantly: Golf Mk4 uses different connectors than Passat B5, and Transporter T5 has unique wiring. Identify your vehicle's exact model, year, and factory audio system (basic vs premium) to select the correct ISO harness from our Volkswagen wiring section.
