Volkswagen Golf Owners Manual: Retrofitting two-way radios
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings
You will need an external aerial to use a two-way radio in the vehicle.
Any retrofit installation of electrical or electronic equipment in the vehicle will affect its vehicle type approval. Under certain circumstances, this can negate the type approval for the vehicle.
Volkswagen has approved the vehicle for use with two-way radios subject to the following conditions:
- Correct installation of external aerial.
- A maximum transmitting power of 10 watts.
The equipment can only operate at maximum range with an external aerial.
Check first with a qualified workshop if you wish to use a two-way radio with a transmitting power of over 10 watts. A qualified workshop is familiar with the technical options for retrofitting. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Please comply with relevant legislation and the instructions and information given in the operating manuals for radio equipment.
WARNING
- While the vehicle is in motion, always secure two-way radios properly outside the airbag deployment zones or stow them away safely.
CAUTION
- Two-way radios should only be used in the vehicle if an external aerial is properly connected.
