Thank you for the great info, I'm keen to see the next stage with your amp install and speakers.

Long before I became a dedicated tech I ran my own car audio install business. I did everything from head units all the way up to custom fiberglass enclosures with multiple batteries and alternators. I was really big into the SPL scene when car audio used to be quite popular. Over the years it has slowly died off, (at least in my area.) It was refreshing to see someone who knows the proper way to wire a head unit, and actually know what they are talking about. The amount of trash installs I have seen and fixed over my years was ASTRONOMICAL. You would think something as simple as a head unit or single amp install is somewhat of a 'no-brainer,' but from what I've encountered, it is anything but that to some folks. Best buy and circuit city was notorious for horrible work, and overcharging customers for sub-par gear. On the positive side, it was similar to my mechanical/ fab work. Once you do a customer right, and show them your skills you scored yourself a repeat customer that told their friends. I have gotten a ton of business in this way. When you know what you're doing, and don't rip people off, they show their loyalty by using you solely for everything on their vehicle. Many customers I gained came from my time in the stealership or a few indie shops that I worked at. I had so many side jobs I was able to leave those places all together and start my own. I get that vibe from you, and how you conduct yourself, and that says a lot nowadays. You do things right and are an honest and upfront guy. Great to see someone who shares similar values and practices especially in today's world. Nice work dude. As an added bonus you can usually ground your green wire straight to chassis to fool the parking brake circuit and then you can operate the unit when in motion. You aren't an idiot and I don't think you'd be taking your eyes off the road to watch a video, and they really make this that way to prevent people from being dumb and from a liability standpoint. Some of the head units are 'smarter' and need to be tricked in a certain way to do this, or through specific interfacing.

Great video Charles, just a tip for anyone with limited space behind the dash. If you have a lot of excess wires in the adaptor loom between the factory harness and stereo you don't need why not unpin them from the connector rather than bundle them together. Saves space and the tools necessary to unpin are readily available. 👍

hooking the red wire to the red wire on the install kit will turn the radio always-on on the Mk4's. Maybe its different for R32 specifically but my 03 Jetta with monsoon radio will not turn off when wired this way.

having gone to an ATOTO radio, from the stock one in my 2012 RAV4, one of the review comments i took to heart, that i wish i'd taken even more seriously, is physical buttons are super super great on a radio. with buttons, you can just feel your way around the dash to change whatever you need. But with a touch screen, to change from one favourited radio station to the next, you gotta say, minimize maps, then open the radio, then click which ever station you want, then go back to maps. and all of this takes your eyes off the road. which is basically the same as doing that on your phone while having a bluetooth speaker in the cup holder, just with a bigger screen. I have buttons on the wheel, to pick up calls, change volume and open the radio. there's buttons on the radio for home, volume and track seeking. and that's still not great. It's never been a pain in the butt enough for me to go back to stock, but I know my elderly parents also have issues working the inbuilt radio app, such that i've certainly started looking for alternative simpler apps for them to use. because telling them to "go to favourites, don't ever hit the scan button" doesn't seem to work.

Personally I have found that taking the two wires you want to connect, twist them together. Insert them into one side of the but connector and crimp the one side with both wires and song worry about the other end. Some installed do that because the wires can vibrate over time and the rocking action will break strands and fail. I've used this method for decades, never had a failure. Using the but connectors the way that they were designed I've had issues. The con is that it makes the harness bulky, so if space is tight that can be a problem..
