Thx man 11yrs later still getting hits

[@Enfig]

Thanks!

[@MarkfromNewYork]

Dude has two left hands.. nice..

[@EarthtoDave]

This is EXACTLY what I needed. The black buttons on our radio have bubbled up. I bought a newer silver-buttoned radio and was able to swap the faces....looks great! I couldn't have done this without your help. Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise. ---Dave

[@JessedeVries]

I've got a 2008 Jetta, thanks for your help, worked perfectly! You guys make it look much easier than it is but I couldn't have done it without you.

[@bruceruehl312]

Old video, but exactly the guide I needed to disconnect dice aux cable and re-connect original SAT receiver. Took me half hour, save $125 from the local VW man! Thanks for the lesson, you all do a great job.

"It's always tight the first time"

[@Roman-en9jw]

😂😂I was bout say that too

[@dont4get2wipe]

Great job on the video. I still don't want to bother swapping it out myself because while you make it look easy I can see myself getting frustrated and snapping, and I don't want to be responsible for screwing something up in my immaculate interior - but now that I see how modular the design is I feel comfortable trusting a decent car audio shop to install a deck without making a mess.

[@alexandrej.maurent7155]

It was very helpful to me to be able to follow up every second of this video to remove everything without breaking anything to finally remove the radio. Unfortunately the used unit that I replaced it with it was not working the way I was told it was. CDC hardware error that keeps interrupting even when listening to the radio. But as far as this video being help full of course a 100% without it I wouldn't have been able to do it myself. Thanks again guys.

[@Enfig]

Sorry to hear. Its probably too late for you but we have started selling packages with radios includes.

[@phildalby7334]

Good walkthrough. Took out my dead Sony XPlod, which I regretted buying almost from the day I had it installed, and put the old unit back in pending a better selection. Very easy instructions and I wish the people who installed the XPlod had read them too because I found the gouges, missing clips, and missing screw that they obviously were unaware of.

[@bbbmw]

thanks so much for a very good video! just what i needed to see to tackle this job.

[@awsweet]

thanks for the great video. I am going to try this on my wife's 2006 Rabbit, which looks exactly the same.

[@Juanman531973]

Very complex system. I remember it took me two hrs to remove the radio on a mk5 golf Edit: Though, with time and patience it can be done without issues. If I can do it so can you :). Good video btw.

[@Defiant031636]

Great video guys! I wish I could take my 06 Jetta to you guys (I live near Toronto though), I want to get the iPod adapter installed (I have no CD changer) but I worry about doing it myself because I've never done car audio stuff before.

sweet, thanks for this

[@JohnDoe-gm5qr]

You might even want to use a magnetized screw driver. It is also easy to magnetize one if yours are not already magnetized. I have a rare earth magnet 1 inch square and 2 inches long. It is one of those things you want to be careful with around your car. Once you get it stuck to your car you will mess up the paint trying to get it off. I have used it once but wrapped in a cloth to get it off, to pull a small dent out (or at least try) and it did pull out a little bit. Wrapping it in cloth like that makes it less likely to scratch and gives you some kind of handle to get it off more easily. They are strong magnets and fun when used SAFELY.

[@dainryder8234]

[@kineshnaidoo637]

Hi, Thanks for the video,very informative,however i just would like to know,with regards to the power source,the factory fitted radio,has power cable,which sends power to the deck even with out the ignition being turned on,if i am going to fit my own radio,do i need to seek an alternate source for power that operates with the ignition being turned on as the deck im going to use,if the power does not go of the illumination on it stays on,Please could you advise

[@GiovanniCornelius]

First of all thank you very much for the video! I have a 2006 2.5 jetta w/ the standard radio. I wanted to know if I would be able to put in an auxiliary port without having to sacrifice my cd player? I am not sure but it seems like i would only be able to have one or the other.

[@truckinman86]

that connector is a sensor for the automatic climate control system for the upscale Jetta's and the GLI's

[@heatherlawson6874]

Thanks dude! Only broke one clip. Lol

[@Enfig]

That's better than two 👍

[@SilverSpade92]

You mentioned something about a connector on the ventilator on top of the dash. Mine doesn't have on either, just this strange plastic thing. What kind of connector can it be?

[@bulky360]

thamks so useful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@colotopi]

Where do I can get the plastic tools that you use to take out the plastic pieces ?

[@enriqueaguilar7279]

i was just wondering if you could tell me what wire on the factory stereo is the remote wire for when connecting an amp. Thanks for the video either way, it was great and very informative.

[@rokitrod36]

This is an excellent video, very helpful. Thanks I'm trying to figure out what the 2 antennas cables are. I thought one was for the satellite as I was going to connect it to my portable sirius unit but I don't think it is. Now I'm concerned that one is am and one is fm??

[@Enfig]

That make sense... Thanks for the info...

[@Enfig]

@bgdisho It should with the correct kit.

[@jdmderick]

@JoeChitussi not sure rather get the RNS510 or RCD 510 unit but make sure to do the update on your software...... otherwise there will be a draining of the battery

[@antons.5556]

Thank you

[@Enfig]

Not a probem.

hi! this radio/cd player have a internal fuse or just one on the fuse box? Tks !

[@bgdisho]

Just curious, are there "keys" available to do this the easy way?

[@cameronforeman4278]

I know this is a old video but do these cars have any kind of security to there radios? I want to replace mine with aftermarket but I don’t know if I need some special connectors or anything like that

[@Enfig]

The car has can bus. Most of the answers you need are here. shop.enfigcarstereo.com/radio-installation-products-2006-2009-volkswagen-mk5-golf-gli-gti-jetta-r32-rabbit/

[@xC0M9UT3RxG33Kx]

How difficult would it be to install a 7 inch tablet into the Jetta? It seems like the radio is a perfect size. Help please!!!

[@Enfig]

Yes it should be the same.

[@SilverSpade92]

I'm not worried, I'm wondering if it's possible to install something there?

[@Enfig]

That's fine. I'm an installer with no formal video training. Does this video not show you how to remove the radio?

[@Enfig]

We have many options for adding an aux. Just call us up.

[@cboe5166]

Excellent vid! Would you have anything on removing the rear a/c vent?

[@Enfig]

Sorry we do not.

[@6vbz]

is there any way i can wire in a aux cable to my jetta that doesnt come factory with it. the radio has the aux option when you double press cd but its $120 for an adapter, in which i might as well buy a new deck lol

[@jamesorban9332]

Where did you find those blue and white pry tools? Also if I'm replacing this unit to put in an aftermarket unit will I need a code?

[@Enfig]

+James Orban enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_PPT_12345.html

[@eophatboy]

Where can I find the radio security code? I'm locked out of my radio and I followed this video step by step. Thanks.

[@Enfig]

The security code is not needed unless the radio has been replaced. If you need a code the radios was probably replaced. The dealership is the only place to get the code.

[@Enfig]

Yes..

[@luisnaranjoespejo4273]

can you show me the way to take out the radio CD RCD 210 from my VW POLO 1.6 TDI (year 2009)? I want to see the code inside. Thank you very much

[@rocky1266]

Just out of curiosity, what is the part number for that part you lifted up at 3:45? I went to have a new radio installed today and the idiot installing it must not have known about those screws and he broke the plastic and it looks like I will have to order that whole piece you lifted out just to fix that one spot.

[@Enfig]

Sorry I'm not sure about the part number plus they probably have different parts for different colors of dashboard.

[@JoeC92]

would a clarion NX501 deck fit ok in a 2006 jetta?

[@eddyg87]

Guys, where can I buy those little blue and white tools that you use to take the pieces out? Enfig they seem to be very practical

[@Enfig]

+Edwar Gonzalez enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_PPT_12345.html

Are all the screws the same or should they be separated?

[@Enfig]

On that car I'm 99% sure they are.

[@alejandrogamez4696]

Good day , a question ... What is the remote to the amplifier , which is only blue cable . but that pin this ?, you have the diagram? My car is a Jetta / Bora 2007

[@Enfig]

Not sure we use a switched power at the fuse box.

[@livingstonec838]

Does this video apply to 07 Jetta 2.5

[@johnf6288]

Does anyone know what the fuse size is on the back of the radio? Mine has probably blown so I wanted to get that first. Is it a cartridge style fuse? Thanks for the vid this should really help me out

[@xLedZep2112x]

If i am installing subwoofers, do I need to change the stock head unit or is it possible to not have to. And will changing it effect the steering wheel controls

[@Enfig]

+Sleezy Steve This will give you an RCA out. But you will get better sound out of an aftermarket radio. enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_AAI4_VW12.html

[@CarnivoreConservative]

I wonder if you can see the evaporator from there

[@comedyman112]

Hello. Thank you very much for this video. My top central air vent is making rattling noises. Is there any way I can deal with this? Some kind of foam applying? Can I replace it with the other version ( storage compartment)? I have golf 5 with climatronic

[@Enfig]

+comedyman112 Many people use the storage compartment. I have seen cloth tape used to prevent rattles.

[@johnwinters902]

Have 09 jetta, want to put factory touch screen in place of the factory analog stereo that's in it. Is it direct plug-in-play?

[@Enfig]

Not always. If you do research sometimes doing swaps from newer cars causes battery drain.

[@sdubb1518]

Is there a install video for the Enfig AAI4-VW12 or something comparable to that? Thanks.

[@Enfig]

When you remove the radio it just plugs right in. We didn't feel there was a need to do a video for that car. Is there any specific things you are looking for?

[@sdubb1518]

+Enfig Gotcha. No that was it. I have that piece and I'm going to install it on my mkv jetta and I just wanted to know if there were any special instructions. but thanks!

[@Enfig]

No problem.

[@ozkarr]

Will this work on a 2012 model?

[@checkcard1982]

What happens if you turn the key on with the airbag switch disconnected? Wouldn't it just set an airbag system DTC? When you say I'll have "trouble," I'm picturing all the airbags going off at once.

[@Enfig]

Just a code but most people do not have the tools to remove it. Also when this video was made there weren't the cheaper options that there are now.

[@RyanTomes]

Does the OEM radio have a fuse in the back of it?

[@Enfig]

[@johnz.2957]

@@Enfig Will people get an electric shock if the key is not in the ignition and the battery is still not disconnected? I'm confused with battery disconnection, is it to disconnect the battery under the front engine cover or just a wire behind the radio?

[@Enfig]

@@johnz.2957 Its really hard to get shocked in most cars. The reason you want to disconnect the battery when doing an installation is in case you make a mistake. If you pinch a wire you can blow a module, with the battery disconnected it will not blow. But in my opinion this job is a low risk for serious damage so I don't think you really need to. If you put shoes on to go to the fridge at 3AM you will lever bang your toe on something. But if it makes you feel safer please disconnect it. I think there is more chance of damaging a module from the power surge of reconnecting the battery.

I installed a new battery on my 06 TDI Jetta. Causing the SAFE code display. I dont have my radio code. That being said, can i take my radio out and get the serial number of it searched for the code instead of paying $130 for a dealership to hook it up to a computer?

[@Enfig]

Usually the car remembers its own radio. If the radio requires the code it has probably already been replaced. You can try and call VW corporate. I had a customer do this with his Audi and they gave his the code for free.

[@Enfig]

The radio must be replaced or sent for repair.
