Volkswagen New Beetle Radio Removal

[camrovio1]

Where would I hook up the auxiliary adapter so I could connect an aux cord to play music from? Like in the back of the radio, which would I plug it into?

@alquimistaeterno This is an issue I've seen on a rare occasion. The stereo can still be removed, then reinstall the face.

@boblizcou tomorrow im gonna try again and remove it with something! hehe its so hard to pull it off.. thnks for the reply

Check your owner's manual, it may be written in on one of the pages. There is also a "Code Card" for the vehicle. It too may be in the folder with the owner's manual. And, in some cases, if the stereo has ever been removed before, the code may be written on the stereo. If none of these apply, your local dealership may supply the code given the serial number from the stereo.

Hmmm... where would one purchase the tools (those long silver things)??

[boblizcou]

Most auto part stores sell the tools, I have also seen them at our local walmart.

@boblizcou What is the tool called?

[georgedarocha]

Great vid, most of my doubts were solved but, what's the first connector for? Disc changer? I've installed some aftermarkets radio on other cars I had and they only have the other 2 standard connectors. I'm thinking of replacing myself the stock radio of my 2008 Beetle for a aftermarket Indash DVD, would it be just plug n play or is there any trick? Thanks.

[boblizcou]

See the wire harness diagrams on the website, they may be helpful. Depending on which connector is first, depending on top or bottom, one connector can be three different colors and three different pieces snapped together, this is usually the CD changer connector.

[georgedarocha]

@boblizcou hi, thanks for answering. I didn't remove it yet, it's a VW CD Player (not the one of your vid). I was talking about the first connector you remove on your vid, the colored one. Because I've already changed the players of other car I had, but none of them had this conector, just the brown and the back connector you take off after the colored one.

[boblizcou]

One section for this connector with color is for the add-on trunk or glove box mounted CD changer.

I wonder how many radios were stolen after this?

[boblizcou]

I have found thiefs don't use the tools, I have seen crow bars and chanin saws taken to dashs. If a thief wants a stereo, an alarm will not stop them.

@frankrulez8395

who would steal a VW tape deck?

yes i know their is a 6 disc cd changer in the truck for this deck.

Thanks for posting this-

My '98 didn't have that little lock for the antenna, and the replacement radio did- so this video solved that little mystery-it let me see how it was supposed to work-

Where is the CD player?? I have the same radio in my bettle but i cannot find the CD player. Please PM me, its driving me crazy.

[mikejames93]

@XSesshomaruX It's probably in the trunk, to the left side. Its a black box, that opens up to hold six CDs. Thats where mine is. However, it could have been modified to be in a more convenient place, like behind the seats or something.
