The Golf V organised its centre stack around a single double-DIN slot for the radio or navigation unit.
Specifications
Cockpit

Speedometer and rev counter, with a multifunction display on sportier trims.

Facts
- Bluetooth hands-free telephony and steering-wheel buttons were offered on a Golf for the first time.[4]
- The cassette slot disappeared with the Golf V, whose RCD 300 radio played CDs; the MFD2 radio-navigation system was introduced alongside it.[5]
- The GT Sport was fitted with a multifunction display, and the GTI had its own speedometer and aluminium inserts.[2]
- Critics found the Golf V's cabin materials cheaper than those of the Golf III and IV, and the Golf VI was meant to answer this.[3]
