#29 of 78 Monsoon CD Player by acsittig Jan 29, 2007 (3:55 pm)
I have a 2003 Passat Wagon with the factory-installed Monsoon stereo. I bought it used last August, and in October the CD player stopped working in the midst of playing a CD. The radio and tape players still work. When I insert a CD, it ejects it and displays an ERR message. The dealership I bought it from and the VW dealerships around all told me they are not certified to repair Monsoon systems, and independent car audio shops are not authorized to look at them. Any idea what might be wrong with it or where I can get it fixed? Thanks. Replies to this message: bpeebles (Jan 29, 2007 5:19 pm) 3screwsloose (Feb 03, 2007 10:58 am)

Replying to: acsittig (Jan 29, 2007 3:55 pm) CD players are delicate precesion devices. The aiming of the lazer is very precice. We have become accustomed to CD players being reliable... but there is a lot that can go wrong with them. Noone actually "fixes" a CD reader... the guts are simply replaced.   You may be better off looking for a "used" Monsoon system from somone that upgraded theirs.   IMPORTANT: Make CERTAIN you get the "code" that goes with it otherwise it will be unusable.

Replying to: acsittig (Jan 29, 2007 3:55 pm) So what if they are not a certified Monsoon system repair center! They sold you the car! Do they expect you to remove the radio and wear it around your neck? Are you going to just lay back and learn to like it? They are in the business to answer your questions about a product they sold you. Ask them. If that doesn't work ask them forcefully. I don't believe the meek shall inherit the Earth.
#32 of 78 passat gamma radio issue! by bav May 31, 2007 (12:01 pm)
Evening Folks, I've just purchased a 2001 Volkswagen Passt which is fitted with a 'Gamma' Model radio which i think is made by Blaupunkt.   When i purchased the car from an auction, everything worked apart from the radio which i assumed didnt work as the battery was almost dead so i assumed it must've gone into shut-down mode and didn't start due to insufficient power in the battery.   now the car is working fine, starts ok, but their is still no power to the radio and cd player (separate units as i've got both tape & cd).   i cant work out the fuse layout as the fuse layout card doesn't tell you what fuse it should be, and the fuse reqd.   any help in sorting out this issue is very very much appreciated.   thanks in advance   Bav.

Replying to: bav (May 31, 2007 12:01 pm) As I recall, there are some "tricks" to resetting the radio after the battery dies.   I think it involves pulling a fuse for awhile and perhaps even holding down some sequence of buttons on the radio.   I know that does not help you much... but there is hope for your radio 8-)
#34 of 78 How do I connect my iPod through Aux jack in 07 Passat and allow control by rachael3 Jun 04, 2007 (6:37 am)
I just got a 07 Passat and want to connect my iPod through the Aux jack in the glove box but be able to control it through the stereo. Can someone point me toward what connector I would need? I've been searching the internet but everything seems to need to be hard-wired. I just want to plug something in easily.

Replying to: rachael3 (Jun 04, 2007 6:37 am) First you need a single stereo cable for the aux input. A 6 ft length is good (find at RadioShack). Snake cable from aux input thru back of glovebox along the center console to convenient spot and connect to your ipod. I plan on using velcro to attach the ipod to a convenient spot on the console. Press the CD button twice on your radio and you will see AUX ext. Start ipod and you're set. You might need to adjust the volume on the ipod higher. I just got an 07 Passat and I have to do the install myself. Enjoy Replies to this message: rachael3 (Jun 06, 2007 8:43 am)

Replying to: wazmeister (Jun 06, 2007 8:06 am) Are you able to control your iPod through the stereo (e.g. navigating through playlists, etc)?
#37 of 78 Pre Set stations by oxx93 Jul 05, 2007 (10:06 am)
I have a 2006 3.6 with navigation. Does anyone know if you can use the steering wheel audio buttons to go thru the pre set stations? Our other vehicle does have that ability to go thru al of the pre-sets from the steering wheel. Thanks
#38 of 78 Check message by knorris131 Jul 10, 2007 (9:36 am)
I recently purchased a 2003 Passat wagon and everything on it is great - except the radio. It has a message on the display that says "Check." It will not respond to anything except the power button. I can turn it on and off and that is all. Does anyone know what causes this and if there is something that can be done about it short of replacing it?   Thanks
