whats the best option?
 
You already have it in your car! just use the auxiliary jack (the cable for it is a male/male and i got mine at best buy for 10 bucks) set the radio to the AUX input and you are good to go!
 
you may not be able to control the ipod throught the radio itself, but the sound quality is great and there is no costly things to do to use it! Its WORLDS better than a stupid fm transmitter!

Bass is boosting on it's own by bluemeany

I bought a 4 door rabbit a few weeks ago and noticed at random times the bass boosts itself. It's quite startling becasue its a big increase. The volume doesn't change just the bass. All I have to do is turn down the volume then back to to the level I was listening and all is well. It may not happen for a couple of days and it may happen twice a day. My biggest fear is blowing a speaker....thats how much of an increase it is. I was aware of the possible automatic volume issue before I purchased but never heard of a bass issue....anyone else?

YUP!! I have the same problem! My husband works at a Volkswagen store and had taken my car in for tint and had them check out the problem with the stereo but Volkswagen said they are aware of the problem but haven't issued a fix or recall for it yet. That was last month. I haven't heard anything yet. I told him to check on it again.
 
Other then that I LOVE IT! Haven't had any other problems yet but only had it for three months.

I've noticed it too. It's happened a few times, but no biggy. I wont worry about it as long as it doesn't blow my speakers.

i've had the crackly sounding speakers, but the bass bost has not reared its head.
 
is anyone else just planning on upgrading the system with new speakers/headunit anyway and never have to deal with this again?

Not sure if this has anything to do with the speaker issue: But I've got the 4 door model with the 10 speaker system. Has anyone had this issue w/ the 2 door model. Also: for those of you who have disabled the auto-volume adjusting, can you post how to switch it on/off in the Forum? I've been too lazy to look it up, I might do it today and post it. . . Eldaino?

i'll look it up on the manual tonight. if i don't get too lazy.
 
i don't think anyone has really made a differentiation on wether the car in question with the audio is a 2 or 4 door.
 
i just thought that given the amount of speakers vw give you, upgrading to an aftermarket kit would be amazing!

I'd also like to know how to adjust the speed determined sound levels. I got a 07 2D Rabbit but it came with the booklet for the 4D stereo, so I have to figure everything out by trial and error.
 
SOMEHOW I managed to get it to switch over to the AUX, but now I can't get it to pick up the AUX anymore suddenly. I have the cable, I have the player on, everything worked great before, but now...nothing.
 
Any help appreciated.

its quite simple.
 
select cd, and then press that same button again. the screen should now say 'aux.'

I've tried that multiple times, as well as holding down the cd button. I had to have a new radio installed because the first one wouldn't eject cd's, at this point I have to assume that the new one was not wired up properly. Back to the dealership, again....
