mscherryviolet Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 It's from a Jetta apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 That's the radio out of the Jetta City model from 2007 I think. Didn't realize how nice they looked up close. Feel free to give it a go but..... CANBUS. I'll leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted December 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Canbus only affects backlighting and the speed controlled volume adjuster function doesn't it? Never tried running a can bus radio in a k bus car.... Maybe there are emulators if it just won't work without it???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 59 minute timer; no CANBUS signal; power off. Apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could offer some amazing insight into this. You need an ACK correction. That will stop it turning off after 59 minutes. If only someone knew how. Oh wait. I do next how to?

mscherryviolet Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Omg whoever gets me cupholders wins. @Rich we are sick of being at the unit at this hour. We've been up since 4 ? Can we have a coffee please x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 If i connected up the can bus signals to an emulator, that'd probably work. I could program up a microcontroller chip, but that'd take time. Ah, it could also chuck out the GALA signal values, but digitised. From reading stuff online, i think that radio is US market only...

lupogtiboy Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I don't think that radio will be CANBUS as it fits from a 2003 onwards model, so MK4 Golf era which use the same radios as Lupos (pretty much!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Does it have a name or type other the part number? Like RCD100 or MCD100....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Nope, the ETKA description is ' Car radio with MP3 player ', I think it was for the Canadian market cars. Its been obsolete since 2009 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Thanks. You've confirmed my thoughts. I can start looking for a different vw branded radio now...! No chance of getting one of them in the UK then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 A. Agreed B. Yeah but int'l shipping, even with a dodgy CN22 declaration would make it very pricey. I like VW systems because the equaliser profiles are designed to match the interior of a golf, so that the sound is usually better suited to a vdub car. I've tried better systems like Kenwood, but they just don't 'sound' as good. In my first lupo I have a MCD100 which I picked up for a tenner, but had to repair it. That works just great, and sounds awesome with the OEM speakers. Now if someone had another for sale cheap.....?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
