Put a deposit down on an '03 New Beetle 2.0 Auto last weekend. Asked
the dealer to get a price for me to swap out the existing cassette
based head unit with a single CD unit (not the 6-disc changer).

They came back with a price of £500 plus £50 to fit! Seems way over
the top to me; anybody else ever had a similar upgrade? What did you
pay?

I didn't; I use an iPod. However, what I WOULD pay would be £10-20 for a
Fascia adaptor, and then £200 or less for a decent MP3-capable
single-disc CD player. I have a JVC SX998R which was £170 new a couple
of years ago with an Aux-in on the front; similar units are just over
£100 now. And it came with an IR remote which is incredibly useful.
