You would have to install a line out converter to supply an audio output. Here is the Line-Out Converter you need: <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009UHRE?ie=UTF8&tag=modilife-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00009UHRE" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Scosche 2-Channel Speaker to RCA Line Out Converter</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=modilife-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00009UHRE" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /></strong> When splicing in the RCA Line Out Converter, use the rear speaker wires to get a full range audio source. If you've never installed car audio before, we advise you to take your car to an experienced mobile audio installer. Hope this helps. Good luck.

It has the stock Monsoon head unit in it. I was wondering if there is a set of RCA hook-ups in the back? She wants to put her system in her new car without having to replace the stock unit. Thanks in advance for any help i can get. My wife is the proud new owner of a 2002 GTI 1.8t. It has the stock Monsoon head unit in it. I was wondering if there is a set of RCA hook-ups in the back?

This feature adjusts the volume depending on how loud it is in the cabin. The louder the cabin is, the radio adjusts the volume higher so music doesn't get drowned out and also adjusts the volume lower when its quieter in the cabin. Try to see if this feature is one of the options on your radio. If it is, shut it off and your volume won't be adjusted automatically. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Up until now, April 2009, the system has performed excellently. Recently, when I am listening to my iPod with the cassette in the tape player, the stereo will shut down by itself and the word SAFE will appear on the display. After a second or two, I can turn the stereo back on and listen to either a CD or the radio without any trouble, but if I keep trying to listen to my iPod, it will play for only a couple minutes before it shuts the stereo down again and SAFE appears on the display again. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? If I eject the cassette when this happens, it feels pretty hot, so I am wondering if this has something to do with too much heat. Thanks in advance for any info. Hello,
