Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 - Radio Turns On But No Sound
I just recently purchased a 2000 mk4 GTI and as stated above, the radio turns and all the buttons work but there is no sound. The amp in the back was removed and there are two clips that are not hooked up to anything. I am wondering if the radio needs the amp hooked up for it to work at all.
View 1 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 - No Sound From Radio / Speaker Wiring?
I bought a 2000 Jetta without a radio in it. I recently purchased a radio from Crutchfield and wired it according to the schematic and connector cross over guide. The radio is on and I can go through its functions but there is no sound. I tried connecting a AAA battery to each of the speakers, via the radio connector, and no sound. I believe this was not a Monsoon system. The connectors on the car do not fit in Monsoon and are Brown, Black, and the third is Blue / Green. What I could do to resolve it?

I recently purchased my first car/jetta. When i switch the knob to turn on the instrument lights on my 2000 jetta the headlights don't come on. But when i turn the knob off the auto headlights turn on. Any insight on this? when i first got the car everything was working fine. It only started to happen after I replaced the radiator.

So I installed a new radio in my car today and connected everything besides the dimming and illuminating wires since my new head unit didn't have one. I connected everything that i needed to like ground power and power from the ignition switch. Radio doesn't turn on at all.
After installing this new radio the climate control doesn't light up anymore. Checked all the fuses under the dash on the driver side and under the hood. All of them are good. Is there any other reason the head unit and the climate control lights wouldn't work.
The clock, a/c and the thing defroster lights work. same with the ash tray light. seems to me that the only light that isn't working is the climate control light and the radio doesn't power on at all.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Radio Stays On With Key Out
Checking fuses and relays due to flashing brake light.now the air bag light is on all the time and now the starter won't crank with the key. All dash lights come on as normal , and brand new battery. Good grounds and fuses.
Really frustrating because I have no Viacom or access to anyone who does. I am in elkin nc and closest dealer is 50 miles away!!! Tried clearing the cry by pulling the cables and touching them together then reconnect to battery after 2 minutes.
Pull the key and I can still turn the radio on. Disconnected battery for 2 hours and still no safe mode on radio. Kind of hoping that was why no crank , but no such luck.

View 4 RepliesGolf V R32 :: Radio Won't Turn Off And Car Won't Lock
Drove the R32 last night for the first time in about a week with no problems, so I figured I would drive it to work today since the roads are still clear.
Got to work, car shuts off like normal. No problems. Drove over to our other facility, turn off the ignition, and the radio stays on when I take the key out. Open the door, radio still stays on and I get the door ajar chime. Close door, start car again, drive around the parking lot, turn car off, same thing. Also, the key fob now has no function at all. I can't lock or unlock the car.
Should I just call a dealer/mechanic? This wouldn't be a huge issue if the car was at home, but it's currently sitting outside, unlocked, in downtown Detroit, and I really don't want the battery to die.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Right Turn Signal Won't Turn Off After Locking With Alarm
I would like to start off by saying I am new to this forum. I bought a 2005 Jetta GLI a couple of months ago and from the first day I noticed that occasionally when I would lock it with the alarm, the right turn signal would stay on. It was not much of a problem as I would just press the lock on the remote again a couple of times to turn it off. Lately it has become more frequent and annoying. I have to wait up to an hour so I can finally turn it off through the remote. I was thinking the relay probably.

I had to do some work on the car which required disconnecting the battery, Usually the radio goes into safe mode which I unlock using the 4 digit code. However this time i entered the wrong code and the radio went into 02 safe mode?? Now the radio is not responding at all to any inputs from the buttons, its literally locked. I have disconnected the battery again and left it for a bit hoping it would clear it but no luck it still says 02 safe and I can't enter the code to unlock it.
View 5 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: No Sound From Radio After Disconnecting Battery
I recently changed my starter and disconnected the battery and tried using a memory saver connected to the cigarette lighter socket with a 9v, but after I got the car back on there's no sound coming from the radio. Comes on no problem, but no sound at all in tuner, bluetooth, or cd mode. This is also an aftermarket radio and I have disconnected the battery plenty of times before and never had this problem.
This is the first time I used a memory saver though, so not sure if that had something to do with it.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Monsoon Radio Dead After New Battery?
So pretty recently the battery in my MK4 GTI went bad and when I put in a new one everything went back to normal except for my radio. The stereo doesn't turn on at all, no power goes too it period. The security light doesn't blink, the buttons don't light up when I switch on my headlights. It didn't ask for a radio security code or anything. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot or what to do at all and when I asked my local stereo shop to fix it they informed me that it would cost $70 an hour for them to "investigate".
I have the stock premium Monsoon radio, the typical double DIN one. Before I changed the battery I tried jumping it and all it did was heat up the jumper cables, not sure if that blew the fuse in the radio.
Golf VI R :: Radio Doesn't Shut Off When Turn Off The Engine
So, I decided to re-code the car such that the radio does not shut off when I turn off the engine (KESSY) but rather when I open the door to get out. It's accomplished by recording the instrument cluster to think it's a UK cluster. Well, when I did that the area that usually displays the outside temp is displaying my speed in KPH. I changed the coding back to US and it didn't work. The temp is displayed if I choose to have the car stats displayed like miles till empty and such but that's not usually what I have displayed. Funnily enough, I do like knowing what the outside temp is.

I have my disc changer loaded, but each time I get into the car, the vehicle starts playing the last disc that was playing - even if I had another input selected.
I usually run music/waze through my iPhone during my commute, but when I get back into the car to go home, boom: music from disc starts blaring.
Is there a fix? I've looked through the menus and haven't found anything about CDs autoplaying. The easiest fix is probably going to be just to remove all of my CDs, but I was just curious if I was overlooking something.
Golf VI R :: How To Turn Off Satellite Radio And Other R Sound System
Just bought a new R with the premium sound system and can't figure out how to disable the lame satellite radio. I am fortunate that Seattle has great local radio stations but have had to listen to BS satellite radio or my IPhone. I tried to follow the useless manual instructions to no avail. How to shut it off and enable real radio stations?
Also I am wondering what upgrades people have done on their stereo systems? The system sounds OK but having worked in a car stereo shop in the past I am a bit picky. What brand the stock speakers are and what brand and size aftermarket can be installed without weilding a nibbler or jig saw? Does the stock radio have RCA or other low power outputs to run an external Amp?
Golf/GTI VI :: Premium VIII Radio - Can Turn Off The Screen?
Just curious about the Premium VIII touchscreen radio. Is it possible to turn off the screen? I don't mean simply make it blank, as the backlight on LCDs still makes a lot of light at night. Can you actually turn it off yet still play your tunes?
View 2 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: How To Mute / Turn Off Radio For Discover Pro With Navi
I am having come from owning a stream of Hondas and Toyotas where one could separately turn off radio whilst using navigation, I was wondering if there was something similar for the Discover Pro system with Navigation on my GTI. Is turning the volume knob all the way down the only way to mute? I know that the non-navi Discover Pro systems have a convenient Mute button where the Navi button normally is for the systems equipped with navigation. I feel like there would be a simple solution for such a simple task.....

I have a 2007 jetta city with the single DIN radio (stock). I would like to have an aux input or usb input. I would like to know what would be the better option? (I don't want to go aftermarket). I know that there is a lot of option but I don't know witch one will work on my radio. (no pre-wired cd changer, no satellite).
Also, on the bottom right of the radio there is two kind of blank plugs (circle and rectangular). It looks like a usb and aux input would fit right there. I saw a picture in witch someone as the exact same radio but with a usb input (instead of the rectangular thing).

View 1 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Aftermarket Radio Installation Lead To Trunk Light Lit Up
Installed aftermarket radio with no problems in 2006 Jetta. Ironically, now the trunk open light is lit on dashboard even though the trunk is definitely shut and the horn wont beep when locking with the keyfob although the doors do lock. I researched here and found some had to push their radio (oem radio) in a little bit to make contact with "microswitch?" and then horn worked..
Im not sure if its that car thinks trunk is open when it isn't or that it thinks the radio is stolen (when it clearly isnt, just an aftermarket) one and thus won't actually arm the alarm..........however, doors are locked, and red light blinks in the door as well as the exterior visual confirmation of alarm being on.
