Volkswagen Golf/Jetta SAT NAV

[dkan]

Oh ... have a lot of questions to answer.

Can you please help me with these:

1. Do I need to disconnect the battery? Does it affect on anything else in the car?

2. As I understand I don't need to connect P-CONT if I don't have the external amp?

3. I have 2 pack of screws. What are they for? I think I don't need them, right?

Thanks

1. Although you may not make a mistake, it is prudent to disconnet the battery when working on electricals.

2. I do not understand P-CONT. Basically you need to disconnect the CANBUS plug from the old radio, and connect it to the new adapter.

3. I never used mine.

Thank you allypally.

P-Cont = Power continous and is for running an external amp. No amp no use

Hi guys,

i am currently having the AVC9000 installed into my GTI and the auto electrician has called me with 2 problems.

1. there does not appear to be any sat nav software installed (Route ot Tomtom). Is this on an SD card or does it come pre-installed?

2. The steering wheel buttons dont work even though he has connected it. has he connected the right way?

Any help would really be appreciated

The SD card should already be in its slot up the top behind the rubber flap thingy.
Steering controls are connected via the small black wire and plug.
Good luck withy it mate,
Andrew

cheers Andrew.

do you know what the black plug should be pluged into for steering controls?

[dkan]

AFAIK,
The black plug (the one which comes out from the small black box) should be connected to the jack comming from the unit as one of the wires according to the installation instruction.

[allypally]

The steering wheel controls ONLY work with the ignition on.

dkan is correct. It seems strange, but the black lead (looks like a stereo plug) plugs into the REM lead from the radio. Apparently it pumps power into another section of the Units motherboard. Why they didnt just wire it in permanently is probably to cater for other makes of car.
