Oct 17, 2009
I went to turn on my radio and it crumbled like a cookie. I bought my CD changer at Crutchfield in 2001.

View 5 RepliesI have a 1999 Volkswagen Passat GLS. Bought it used just the other day with no radio in it. I put my after market Blaupunkt in it today and it took me seriously 5seconds. Instantly had sound, but it was only coming from the driver's side front and rear, but the volume was weak in the rear. I was going to look for the amp, but idk if it had the monsoon sound or not. Has 4 speakers and 4 tweeters, but i'm not sure if it's the Monsoon sound or Premium.
why my antenna is very weak as well? why I have weak/no sound output from my speakers, if I have premium or monsoon sound and why I have such a weak antenna and how to fix all of these things.
I bought the 1999 GLS, came with JVC radio. I get ONE radio station in scan; when manually tuning to local stations, there is either nothing, or very poor reception. I had the radio pulled out (by local car radio shop), antenna is plugged in. I put a new flexible 16" roof antenna on (when removing it, even the ONE station is lost).
View 1 RepliesI am experiencing yet another problem with my Dynaudio sound system. The display for the radio works, but there is absolutely no sounds coming from the radio. It would be exactly like pushing mute (but in this case mute isn't activated).

Stock Orginal Double Din Non-Monsoon Radio in my 2003...
My radio in the B6 seems to be acting strange...... I'll have the volume at a set level and it will fade up and down, like the volume is being ever so slightly raised and lowered. I thought at first it was some sort of speed-volume control but it fades up and down for no apparent reason. I have the in dash 6-cd changer with the XM built in.
View 5 Repliesso I am driving today and I go to turn the sound up using the steering wheel controls and it starts going up then NO sound at all.
i switch from CD to CD and radio and still nothing no hissing no poping just seemed like the internal amp just cut out.. i was able to see the meter on the radio go up and down just no sound.. i turned the radio on and off and still nothing..
i get home and turn the car off and back on and it started working again..
i'm sure there is a problem but how major and if the dealer scans the car will they be able to tell it happened..
i prefer not to go up there to spend all day waiting to be told they couldnt duplicate the problem so theres nothing they can do..
My radio antenna is installed, but the connectivity is mostly gone, comes and goes at random. I fiddled with un-screwing/screwing a number of times but that doesn't seem to effect it, so the problem must be elsewhere...
View 7 Replies2.5 SE ... Surely I must be overlooking something, but I cannot seem to have the radio on without the engine running. There doesn't seem to be a key position just for the radio and when the car is turned off e radio goes along with it. Can't find any settings in the in-dash computer on it. How to do this ?
View 3 RepliesOk thinking of getting a 2.0T... What is the part# or where to get tail lights w/ amber LED turn signal lights ?
Basically is there a difference between the euro spec and our spec tail light cluster? Kind of what vortex did w/ their project EOS.
I have a 2002 passat I pulled the ground when replacing the turbo. Now the aftermarket radio will not turn off. It has killed the battery twice now. How to fix it?
View 5 RepliesFor some reason my radio just picks up big stations such as 99.9, or 108.1, but nothing else, at all its just all noise...., the antenna is connected and everything.
View 24 RepliesOne of the frequent stations I listen to, WXRT 93.1 here in Chicago, switched over from the standard "HD Radio" icon to one that I haven't seen yet "HD Radio Live" icon. Not sure what this means but it may be related to how some live HD radio can be paused, on other HD radios. Just a guess. Not sure if this has showed up on other HD radio stations but this is the first time I've seen this new icon .
View 8 RepliesMy monsoon radio is beeping on my 2011.5 VW Passat. As soon as I turn the radio on the is a beeping sound. About 1 beep/second. Only beeps when radio is on. This is heard over the radio stations (ie. I can still hear the radio "behind" the beeping sound). This will start when I try to put a FM station in memory, turn the volume all the way down or when the battery dies. The radio is otherwise functioning normally (no SAFE being displayed). The beeping usually eventually goes away after several days to a week.
View 1 RepliesWe had to replace our radio and the new one the volume would not work just driving down the road. Dealer has been great in working with us, got us a second new radio and it is having the same issue. Also the second new radio will not change FM/AM stations, doesn't matter which station you switch too it stays on the first station when you originally turn on the car.
View 1 RepliesWhat 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.
When I'm listening to the radio and bring the car to a stop the radio shuts off when I turn the car off. Is there a way to get it to stay on until I open a door or something like that? It's kind of annoying if I'm in the middle of a news story to have to keep the car idling so I don't miss something.
View 17 RepliesHave a factory touch screen radio (not sure which one it is) no Navi, but its a 2010 Passat, mine sounds like crap, especially when playing though an IPOD. Put the same music on an SD card and it sounded much better. I literally have only had the car less than a week, and am contemplating going and taking out all the speakers and replacing them with aftermarket stuff.

If you replace the radio head unit with an Aftermarket one, do you lose the Parking Sensor beeps....?
