    A lot of VW have to have a couple of wires swapped around in the std wiring to make aftermarket stereos work properly.

    I had this with a late mk3 Golf and an Alpine a couple of years back. I am surprised a professional outfit couldn't work it out.

    Maybe vwvortex.com has the answers?

    Surely you could just run a wire from a switched live at the fusebox to the back of the stereo?

    Welcome jasn. And please post some pics of your car

    Someone on the vortex site replaced their head unit with a double DIN touchscreen unit, which I think provides ICE, TV and Nav. Sounded quite neat
