Hey, y'all.
I'm a proud new owner of a 2015 Golf with the Fender Upgrade. I am pleased with the quality of the audio system, with one large caveat: sound is only being played from the subwoofer, and the front, left channel (woofer & tweeter). It works for less than half a second when I disconnect and reconnect the MOST connector from the glovebox head unit.
I've taken several steps of increasing difficulty and cost to try and fix it. I have been unable to. I am asking for any potential solutions, troubleshooting steps, or prayers.
First, I took out the front seat and reseated the harness on the amplifier. I jumped one of the working speakers to one of the non-working ones and was able to get it to play audio. I also tested each connection with a multimeter and none had an open circuit. After doing this, I came to the conclusion that the issue was not between the amp and the speakers.
I then tried replacing the amp with one from eBay. The issue presented in the exact same way.
As a last-ditch effort, I replaced the factory head unit by following this guide. This did not fix anything, but I at least have Apple Carplay and a slightly larger display.
I am thinking about replacing the amp with an after-market option, like the ZEN-V, but I would rather not pay that much without exhausting all of my options.
From my understanding, I have tested and/or replaced each part of the chain, and it has not helped. Thank you so much for reading. Any help is appreciated.
