What kind of connector do you have in the trunk - a round DIN or a rectangular
connector?  (please say rectangular)
	---
What stereo do you have?  Does it just say Volkswagen on the cassette deck
(not premium audio), with a set of buttons on the left and right sides like
so:
	rectangle	rectangle
		  Circle
       	rectangle	rectangle
	
	(please say yes)
	---
Bose or no Bose?  (please say no)	



I've been trying to figure out how to get an aftermarket CD changer in my 98
Jetta.  Many conflicting reports.  Crutchfield seems to think that I can't
do it...

At the heart of science is an essential tension between two seemingly
contradictory attitudes -- an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre
or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny
of all ideas, old and new.  This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep
nonsense.             -- Carl Sagan
