Just an update on this, i found a guy who checked it for me, a small wire-thingy was broken, he fixed it for 10 bucks, all good now:)

I followed these instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8if3T1v8x4. Tried to connect directly to the connector on the radio and also through the harness.

Thanks, tried it, still no power at all, i even tried to turn on with the remote, doesn't work. Checked with a multimeter, power goes through the connectors so not sure whats wrong. Here is an image from the inside, maybe someone will notice something i don't: http://cl.ly/image/1b3D3b1u1v1u

I dissasambled it, everything looks fine as far as i can tell, so no idea whats wrong yet. If i try to hook up the red and yellow wire to a regular 12v adaptor, can i test it to see if theres power inside? Or i need to connect all of the wires too to test the device?

Sadly its not the fuse. One of the screw in the back was very loose though, so i will take it apart just to make sure that every component is in place inside, maybe the vibration caused some trouble.

Just a quick update, after 8 months of good use, today my head unit died suddenly... Once i get home i'll check the fuse, maybe i'm lucky and it just simply blown.

Just checked my GPS microsd card, and i found the documentation in a PDF, might be interesting for someone: http://cl.ly/0Q15443b3R2f

Well, not in my case, because i have some little pins and hinges on the unit and i don't want to touch those. So i gone back to the original plan, i cut of the front part of the fl-17-00 and everything looks fine now with the factory frame:)

Hm, looks like i missed that, sorry, i'm going to try that

I just received the FP-17-00, and it does NOT work with the player:) It has a little edge on the inside so i can't push the player in or out. I'm going to cut off the front part if the fp-17-00, and use the frame that they gave me.

On a different interface, i'll post a screenshot tomorrow, it says Console at the top, then a calendar and a clock widget, and 8 icons at the bottom. Looks like the gps home screen to me, so you can't really close the gps app.

Just switched the yellow/red wires, everything works now, thanks:) And i ordered an FP-17-00, thanks for the tip. Any idea how to access the WinCe interface? Tried using the GPS app, but theres no options in the GPS homescreen(i tried this because on my standalone gps, i have a button called Windows or something like that and it takes me to WinCE)

Oh, cool, the red and yellow wires was already changed with the old unit, but i though i should look for the colour that comes from the car itself, but i guess the previous owner already switched it:) Thanks

Here is a quick overview, sorry about the quality, low light conditions and my ipad 2 has a shitty camera. Also, the sound quality is really good, but somehow my mic didn't picked up a decent sound... One more question: Any idea how to fix the clock? When i turn on the unit, always show 00:00 for some reason.

sadly, theres no knob on the back. But theres a hole in the unit, so maybe i can find a knob or something that fits in the hole, thanks for the tip also, i was able to select the vw logo, the Logo button is a wide button at the very bottom, i just pushed everywhere and i was able to enter the logo selector somehow:D
