Duuuuuuuude thank you! It's been so hard to find info on this Monsoon system!

Sure, no problem. Thanks for watching.

Nice video bro 👍 You made me wanna do this on my Galaxy. Thanks 🙌

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Thank you! Sure, do it. Lol

[@epicsensi]

the only reason I watched your video is to make sense of the wire colors.. that snap was not helpful at all. can you explain what wires went where? there are three brown wires called mute.. where do they go??!?

[@landonjackson6260]

Its all about matching bro just match them up

nice upgrade, thanks for posting

[@blankblank2345]

thx for the great how to bro. can i just use any double din radio?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Yes, you can use any double din radio you wish. You just need to connect that radio's harness to the adapter. Thanks for watching!

[@entillonshadow6870]

This was a great straightforward video I'm gonna ask a really dumbass question here. Replacing the radio doesn't affect the car security system with the immobilizer does it? I don't think it does I ask this because I own two saabs and you'll piss the car off if you remove it """" 05 Passat AWD wagon 1.8

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Not a dumb question, but it does not affect the security system.

[@LDR2030]

When I installed mine somehow now the cruise-control don't work or the volume on the steering wheel any help from anyone would be great.

Hey, can you help me figure out something I have a factory radio I checked all my fuses and they’re good and I play sound, and I put it on low volume or high volume and my radio like cutting it in and out on the audio but not power the audio will cut in and out every 3-4secs

[@op_mcflytoki_yt9560]

great video but idk how to do the wire part do they just touch each other then creep or twist together v

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Twist them together then crimp

[@op_mcflytoki_yt9560]

Crafty Workshop Builds thank you that’s all i was confused about bc i ordered everything on your links

[@op_mcflytoki_yt9560]

Crafty Workshop Builds also do i match all the colors to the same color ??

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

@@op_mcflytoki_yt9560 Yes, correct. You could also check out the other video to make the radio automatically turn of when the key is removed.

[@Jamie-po9zk]

will this setup work with a bhw car?

[@remotecontrolstuff1228]

The BHW diesel? the only differince is this car in the video is a GLX and the TDI only came as GLS or GL, with the optional monsoon system on the GLS. I have a GLS TDI with a non-monsoon system and according to every photo and website I have seen, the adapter will be the same, it just has less pins on it because it is not the monsoon. the setup will be the exact same on a non-monsoon system, as long as it is still a double din (the size of head unit in the video) in your car.

Good job

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Thank you!

[@ZND420]

Hello. Do you know if this would fit in a 2001 VW Passat? The 2001 looks like that except it has a tape player instead of CD player. Thanks!

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Hello, Your 2001 Passat is a B5. Yes, you can fit a double din radio. Check the link below to get the wire harness and other things you might need. enfigcarstereo.com/RADIO_VW_PASSAT_99.html

[@OllyXen]

You sure the radio wouldn't be clicked in after the frame ?? Just seems s little wobbly :D

[@remotecontrolstuff1228]

Does the radio antenna work well? i found one adapter by (SCOSCHE VW3A4B) that is amplified and it brings up a question. I was wondering how well your AM/FM works and if it struggles to pick up signal more than usual? I'm also not completely sure that adapter is for this radio anyways

[@thestigseuropeancousin7941]

Do you know how to replace the window trim? The chrome strips? I cant find it anywhere..

[@titogarcia3822]

CAN THIS STEREO BE CONNECTED TO A REGULAR CAR , I MEAN LIKE ANY OTHER VEHICLE

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Yes, this is a double din radio. As long as the car radio slot is a double din.

What's the wire harnesses part description that hooks too the factory wire harness plz

[@richardzimmerman1216]

Great Video! I'm going to install the same radio in my b5.5 4motion. What I like most about this video is you tried to make the job look neat with Velcro. Love it! Thank you.

Not sure what harness and case you are asking about ?

Great video it’s helped me learn a lot, I have the exact same setup I’m about to install it. Wondering what you did with the three grounds coming off of the adapter?

Yes, this same radio will work. You would need the correct dash kit and harness. Thank you!

So when you press buttons on radio. Do radio moves also? Because i think you forgot 1 missing component for installing a 2din radio

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

No, the radio stays in place when I press buttons.

[@NotorK0]

Nice video! Very thorough. So the harness you bought for your car works fine? I was told to get like the 100 dollar one. I’d rather buy the one you got because of the price difference

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Yes, this harness works fine. No issues since installation.

Nice video/work. Can you make a video where you replace speakers for Passat b5.5(full replacement)? I really need to know.

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

I can, but I'm not sure when. I'm currently working on a couple other videos.

[@VeeLazer]

I have an 01 passat (face-lift one) and after putting aftermarket radio in, the car is always dead after 2 days if I dont drive it. Do you know the fix for this?

It depends on what harness you use. The harness that I used in the video did not maintain the steering wheel controls. check enfigcarstereo.com for a harness that will let you keep the controls,

Hi, thanks for thorough video! Will this setup work with the monsoon amp, or have you wired the speakers directly to the head unit?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

It worked with the monsoon amp, no separate wiring.

[@peppppeee]

Thanks! And have you had any issues with the battery running out? I have understood that the Monsoon amp wouldn't know when to turn off with a aftermarket Head unit hence draining the battery.

Nah, the amp never drained my battery. To make the aftermarket radio turn off automatically, check out my other video in the description.
