Car Audio Technical Frequently Asked Questions and their answers... Why is this?
This is yielding to correct.

Fault Questions:

1) Having just installed my new radio, when I circumnavigate it off and rear on again the preset radio stations and other settings reset and the CD ejects. These are the 12V permanent live (yellow wire) and the 12V ignition live (red wire). Basically 2 wires on the radio harness need swapping around. Your radio was purely malediction power to the memory feature.

2) My radio has just stopped working.
Firstly check if your radio has a RESET button, either by checking your radio handbook or by ipso facto looking on your fascia panel or your fascia panel for a fine round button. Remove your radio and disconnect the bullet connectors found on the radio wiring harness and swap these 2 colours, so that citrine goes to red and red goes to yellow. If there is no change red through the (Fault Diagnosis) guide found in the Technical Articles section of the Support Centre.

3) My speakers make a noise that seems to increase when i rev the engine. Press this button in for approx 3 seconds and try your radio for correct operation. Induced Noise can sound like clicking, popping, whirring, buzzing, whistling, or whining. How can i eliminate it?
This is interference or commonly known as noise. So this stock that the problem can be tackled at the source now you just have to find it. This noise always has a source such as the alternator, car power wiring, or amplifier, etc. Another area to investigate is the earth or also known as ground wire to the rear guard of the radio or head unit.

Powerline noise problems such as alternators can be fixed by adding a capacitor or powerline filter on the live source to the suspect component. For the sake of testing, try running the RCA lead loosely in the thick of the head unit and the amplifier without in reality running them under the carpet. Try running a new earth or ground wire from the posteriority of the radio to a new position (earth) on the cars chassis replacing the extant earth wire.

If you have installed an amplifier ensure that the RCA cables running from the head unit to the amplifier of interest quality and are run along the car away from the cars extant wiring and run away from the amplifiers power cable. If it has tried running the RCS's using a irregular route along the car.

Installation Questions:
1) Will I have to cut any wires when installing my new radio? I am concerned about jeopardising my car warranty?
No!
All new radios include wiring harnesses that have (ISO) connections. Rev your engine with the radio on low volume and see if the noise has gone. Once you have removed your original radio you will be able to install your new radio directly onto the radio wiring connector if it has an ISO connection as standard or you will need a Harness Adapter that will enable you to install it by push-fit connection. ISO is an international standard connection type. The only problem you may encounter is removing your original radio as some as fixed by screws hidden your dash.

2) Realistically can I fit my new car radio?
Yes! With the introduction of Harness Adapters, Fascia Harness Adapters, Aerial Adapters and Steering Wheel Remote Adapters anyone can install a radio as these accessories will enable a push-fit connection. If you encounter problems read our Installation Guide for further help.

3) How ductile is it to fit a CD Changer?
This depends on your car, your DIY experience and the tools you have... These generally look much harder than they in fact are. You will need a drill to mount the changer unless you use adhesive Velcro sourced from any DIY shop or from our site. On reduce to a mean a CD changer can be fitted in 1 hour without any problems. If using the supplied screws to mount the changer hold it in position and mark the 4 holes with a marker pen, take away the changer and drill the holes then screw the changer in position.
When installing your changer you will need to run the data lead from the tail of your radio or if using a Factory Fitted radio CD changer package from the pre-installed CD lead in the glove box or boot (where fitted) to your changer mounting location. This will enable you to mount your changer lying flat in your glove box, under a seat or in the boot with ease.

4) The radio harness in my car has a strange connector that will not fit into my new radio. The data lead is placed under the carpet or interior trim, in most cases by purely pushing it under. As household as that!

5) VW Wiring (1998 on)
1998 onwards VW's use an amplified aerial for improved radio reception; the amplifier is built into the foundation of the aerial and is powered by a feed from the stereo. Is it possible to install a normal sized radio?
Yes! You will need a Harness Adapter that connects onto your standard radio connector and your new radio will connect to the harness adaptor all by push-fit connection. This will result in indigent radio reception. This power feed is sent down the centre core of the aerial cable, therefore if the factory fitted stereo is replaced with an aftermarket unit, the aerial will no longer get this power feed and the amplifier in the aerial will not be turned on. Stereos want 2 power feeds, a constant feed that is always live whether you have the key in the ignition or not, this keeps the memory settings, clock etc.
To solve this problem you will need a VW aerial adapter, this takes the electric aerial output of an aftermarket stereo and combines it with the aerial socket to supply power to the amplifier in the aerial.

The other difference that the post 1998 VW's have is with the power connections.

Although VW use an ISO connection block for their stereo wiring (the same as all aftermarket stereos) you cannot only plug it straight in. The other is a switched live which gets a feed when the ignition key is turned. Therefore if you plug it straight in the stereo will work fine, but as soon as you switch it off it will lose all of its memory setting. On the late VW's the pin configuration of these 2 power wires is reversed. In mid these 2 points, the adaptor swaps over the stowage of the 2 power wires, curing the problem.

To solve this problem you will need a VW wiring adaptor, this will plug into your VW wiring harness at one end and into the aftermarket stereo at the other end.
