Oh sorry I thought you had the basic single din radio now. Those wires still look like they are useable?

No, the looms are different.

Your 9N3 Radio has the Quadlock connector, the Vivo has the usual ISO Connectors.

You'll need to cut and wire or fit an adapter.

Are you referring to his double din in specific or radios from a 9n3 in general? Because plenty people have fitted a vivo radio to a 9n3, myself included

Double Din specifically. I say this because I bought that specific Double Din radio to fit into my Jetta and the rear connector was different as the Jetta had the usual ISO plugs whereas the radio required the Quadlock connector. All the Polo's with the Single Din MP3 CD player have the normal ISO plugs.

This is what the rear of a Polo RCD200 looks like

And this is what the rear of an RMT100/200 etc looks like
