DO-lT-YOURSELF
Installing radio
When service installing a radio or replacing
a set installed by the factory the following
points should be noted
• The connection " in the vehicle is for
Genuine Volkswagen radi os
ll
from Model
Year 1994.
• Radios with other con nections must be
connected with an ada pter cable which can
also be obtained fro m a Volkswagen dealer.
Attention
On no account cut wires off and
leave them without insulation. If
necessary use a proper adapter.
Otherwise the wiring can be
overloaded or short circuits can
occur - Fire danger!

Apart from this, important elec­
tronic components can be damaged
or the functioning impaired. If for
example the speed signal is dis­
turbed this can lead to faulty engine
management, automatic gearbox,
ABS etc.
Even connecting the speed signal to
radio sets with speed dependent
volume control from other manufac­
turers can cause such faults.
• It is advisable therefore to have the in­
sta llation of the radio system done by a
Volkswagen deale r. They are fully informed
about the technical features of the vehicle,
have the Genuine radios
1),
the necessary
fitting parts from the Genuine Volksvva gen
Accessory Programme
1 )
and work in ac­
cordance with the guidelines developed by
the factory.
• The radios from the Genuine Volk­
swagen Accessory Programme
1 )
are similar
to those used in the factory and ensure
trouble-free Installation .
These sets are in keeping with the ad­
vanced technology and we ll-planned easy­
to-operate design.
In Germany there is also an Exchange Ser­
vice for the se radios so that even after years
of use a set requiring repair can be ex­
changed cheaply for a completely recondi­
tioned, good-as-new set by a Volkswagen
dealer.
• Loudspeakers, fitting parts, aerials and
supp re ssion kits shou ld also be taken from
the Genuine Volkswagen Acces sory Pro­
gramme

These parts have all been
specially developed for each vehicle model.
