  10. Hello, can I please request the radio wiring schematic for a 1992 Volkswagen Cabriolet Carat, Karmann Edition? Thanks so much! =]

  11. JJ, technically you could connect your 2002 Volkswagen Passat amplifier turn on wire to the radio switched 12v+ wire. That way your amplifier is on whenever your 2002 Volkswagen Passat is on and off whenever your 2002 Volkswagen Passat is off. Just make sure to run an in-line fuse holder with a 1-amp fuse on the amplifier turn on wire.

    Please refer to: 2002 Volkswagen Passat Car Stereo Wiring Diagram

    Hope this helps. Good luck with your 2002 Volkswagen Passat amplifier and subwoofer installation.

  12. Andrew, most late model vehicles do not have RCA outputs on the factory radio to feed an audio signal to your aftermarket amplifier. You would have to install a line out converter to supply an audio output. Here is the Line-Out Converter you need:

    Speaker to RCA Line Out Converter

    When splicing in the RCA Line Out Converter, tap your factory rear speaker wires to get a full range audio source. We suggest you invest in some solid wire taps that wont come loose. These wire tap connectors will allow you to tap into wires without cutting and installs in seconds by hand with no crimping or tools required. If you install a line out converter, your rear speakers will still work properly. 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 with your 1999 Volkswagen Golf amplifier installation.

  14. Chris, ask and you shall receive: 2008 Volkswagen Jetta Car Audio Installation Chart.

    As for your RCA jacks, most late model vehicles do not have RCA outputs on the factory radio to feed an audio signal to your aftermarket amplifier. You would have to install a line out converter to supply an audio output. Here is the Line-Out Converter you need:

    Scosche 2-Channel Speaker to RCA Line Out Converter

  15. I want to install an amp in a 2008 Volkswagen jetta 2.0 turbo wolfsburg edition. Does the radio have rca jacks in the back of it? And I would like to get the wiring diagram for a it if possible.

  16. We need to know how to input the security code into our 1995 Volkswagen Cabrio. The book containing the security code got wet and the pages stuck together. The code therefore was lost.

    Hi, I need a wiring diagram for a 2000 volkswagen beetle model please. I want to put a new cd player in :) Thanks, Christie

  31. Kim, its sounds like your 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio radio may be in safe mode or anti-theft mode. You will need a unlock code to get your radio working again. Radio security codes are usually written in your car manual or given to you when you purchase the vehicle. If you do not have the radio security code, you would have to obtain it from the local Volkswagen dealer. Hope this helps. Good luck with unlocking your 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio radio.

  32. i just replaced the battery on my 2000 cabrio…now the radio won’t work. when i hit the power button, the display says SAFE. help
