RE: factory stereo sys on GLX

[Drew Jennings <drewj@awj.com>]

I may not be speaking for everyone on the list, but the desire to
upgrade is not so much to improve the sound quality of the head unit,
which is excellent for a factory unit, but rather to add CD capability.
I can't believe that I spent this much on a great car, but the only CD
option was a trunk mounted Panasonic changer.  VW really needs to have
an in-dash CD option, or even standard on a top of the line automobile.
Audi & VW both need to get with it.  Hell, my dad's Suburban came with a
CD in dash!!!
