I am the new owner of an 07 GTI. The previous owner has it wired for an amp & subwoofer, which he removed prior to sale. He said the radio worked fine for him on the way to meet me for the deal, which I believe.
When I drive the car, the radio won't turn on. At all. A couple of times it has turned on by itself while I was driving, and I could play radio, etc just fine. Then if I shut the car off and restart, the stereo won't turn on.
I pulled the head unit and checked that all the connections are secure, and there aren't any exposed wires. The splices he did for the amp/sub are all secure.
As per suggestions in threads I found in the search, I pulled the fuses for the stereo in the inner panel (#17 / audio system) and the main fuse panel in the engine bay (#19 / audio system, navigation). They look fine, but pulling them both at the same time didn't fix the problem.
Can anyone offer suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks,
