Passat (B5) :: 1998 - Installing Stock Radio
Aug 29, 2012
What were the stock radio options for the Passat?
My 98 came with a JVC aftermarket; don't like the look. I consider putting a stock radio back in.

My mother has the code to the radio, but when she was entering it she did it wrong. It now says "2 SAFE" or something similar and won't allow any other info entry. We even disconnected the power again and it still says the same thing. How do yo uget it baack to the point of allowing the 4 digit code to be entered?
View 2 RepliesWhile attempting to install an after market radio on a 2005 Chevy Malibu classic, the illumination went out. found out that the pins were in the wrong place and tried to rewire them. ended up not working either way, reinstalled the stock radio and there is still no illumination and it won't power up. Checked fuses and disconnected the battery to see if that would work.
View 5 RepliesI 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).
My radio is pretty much froze. I can turn it on but no sound and none of the buttons work. I was thinking I might need the code to reset it but I don't know where to find that.

View 1 RepliesThe stock radio in my 2003 X seems to have lost a lot of volume. I assume there is a stock amplifier but where it would be. Is it internal to the radio? I did check all fuses that were related to the radio.
View 3 RepliesI was driving to work yesterday and my stock radio completely shut off. It will not come back on. The local dealer was very supportive today, however. After a few hours of investigative work & a few calls to Toyota corp. They have determined that it was a bad component in the radio. They are rush ordering me a new one.

I looked at the guide on the metra site but couldn't even get the drivers vent off (I don't want to break any tabs or anything).
My 2009 Sonata GLS stock sat radio, dvd head unit stopped working. Appears no power to it, won't light up or anything? Looked at the fuse shows OK? The radio / dvd fuse circuit, shows the led-digital clock is also on same circuit. The clock is working fine. I can not find any of the radio's wiring loose or disconnected. Has my radio gone bad already? Car has ~ 14,300 mi on it.

I prefer the look of OEM. Can I simply replace the radio with a newer OEM unit that has these features, or is it more complicated than that? If I can replace it with an OEM unit, which one?
i just installed a low level adapter for a subwoofer in my Egg (non-vav). As i was reinserting the radio the hood indicator came on about 1" before "clicking" into place. I heard this could be a microsensor telling the alarm the radio is missing. I also had the interior lights shut on and off as i was working on to fix the problem.

My girlfriend left town yesterday, and on the 3 hour drive, she said her radio just shuts off. Sometimes, when its on, the volume controls wont work, etc. W the model number for the stock 2010 Toyota Corolla S touch screen OEM stereo?
View 7 RepliesI took a ten hour drive to see about a parts car for a car I'd like to restore and on my way there and back I noticed my stock radio (with CD player) that came with the truck would not increase in volume beyond a certain point. At its peak it was about one-third of what it should be despite the meter being all the way to the far right.
As I drove along for hours, I noticed a couple of times that the volume would come and go.It would be itself momentarily then go back to almost nothing. Also,when I first start the truck,there is a short popping sound hailing from the speakers. For what it's worth,the CD player stopped reading CDs a ways back.. Does any radio manufacturer out there make a radio/CD player for this model that just slips right in without any cutting or looking aftermarket?

I have an 08 RX350 with navigation and premium sound. I bought a Kenwood DDX8901HD radio along with the TYTO-01 interface and the ASWC-1 to try and keep my steering wheel controls. I removed my old radio easy enough. Installed the TYTO-01 made all the connections and now I have NO NAVIGATION ANYMORE NOR DO I HAVE AC. It says check AC connection.

i just got a 2008 FEH 100K paid 11500 out the door 12800 is that a good deal? everything is clean. It has the upgraded sound system but i noticed that some feh have the mpg displayed on the screen it look like the feh with navigation not sure if this is seperate from nav or just part of touch screen. in any case is it possible to just install the stock dvd/nav stereo to get the mpg avg screen? if so is ther a guide
also is there a good read around here for new feh owners? looking to get the most mpg out of this ride.
I have a 2003 volkswagen passat, front wheel drive with a 1.8t. I was told that I could get more boost out of my turbo without having to do any major modifications. Is it possible or not. Because as it stands right now I am completely lost when it comes to this.
