Sorry but the switch idea is a terrible idea. The adapter I posted will work perfectly. And it's not just a VW thing, almost all newer cars control the radio via the CAN bus. In fact GM's were one of the first cars to not have an ACC wire at the HU.

LOL at the toggle switch idea. Use those harnesses yetta suggested, get switched power from the ignition like I suggested but don't install a toggle switch.

Ok, After using the C2R-VW. Thing go smooth and functioning. The problem i had was ... there are too many wires and fuse box to stuff into the hole. :D

 

But another problem comes up, I have great receiption on FM channel, but i get nothing at all for AM ... I used the antenna adaptor already. What could be the problem?

 

It could be because of the blue wire was loosen when i stuff the wire into it .. I'll check it but if there's other possibility .. plz advice.

If i'm not mistaken, your VW should have two antennas connecting to the HU, one for AM/FM and one for FM only. Try using the other antenna if there is infact two. That is how my Audi is anyway.
