#1: CD PLAYER Author: lisa206, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sun Jan 13, 2013 11:17 am ---- I have a GTI with the standard CD player in well tape player. I got the stereo out my XSI to replace the one in my GTI. It worked perfect in my XSI but for some reason it won't work in the GTI. I have checked all the wires and fuses these are fine. I have even tried another CD player in the car , this won't work either. Can any one help ??
Thanks

#5: Re: CD PLAYER Author: lisa206, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sun Jan 13, 2013 2:44 pm ---- im not sure how would i know this?
#6: Re: CD PLAYER Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 5:12 pm ---- Is the steering column radio stalk a long thin one or a short shubby one?
Long and thin is pre-mux, short and shubby is multiplex. The radio has to come from the same type.
So what is the GTI's stalk and what was the XSi??
#7: Re: CD PLAYER Author: lisa206, Location: BirminghamPosted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 4:22 pm ---- ahh the GTI one is short and XSI one is long thin.

#10: Re: CD PLAYER Author: lisa206, Location: BirminghamPosted: Fri Jan 18, 2013 2:17 pm ---- why cant i swap them ?
#11: Re: CD PLAYER Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Fri Jan 18, 2013 2:20 pm ---- That's crazy design. I know mux/BSI system is tricky but this is mad. What about after market systems? Really no way around this?
#12: Re: CD PLAYER Author: broadblaster, Location: south coastPosted: Fri Jan 18, 2013 3:03 pm ---- yes you can fit aftermarket no probs but not plex and non plex set ups also the plex ones are coded to the ecu for each car so try fitting a plex one into another plex car and it will just bleep at you every 3 seconds.
#13: Re: CD PLAYER Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Fri Jan 18, 2013 3:07 pm ---- Thanks for clarifying.
#14: Re: CD PLAYER Author: broadblaster, Location: south coastPosted: Fri Jan 18, 2013 3:10 pm ---- i'm sure somebody out there can recode them but not sure if its really worth the hassle as aftermarket ones are so cheap nowdays and better than the standerd ones.
#15: Re: CD PLAYER Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Fri Jan 18, 2013 4:48 pm ---- With pp you can recode, but I don't know about non mux to mux.

What cd player are you trying to put in? Is it the standard one out the XSi or is it an aftermarket one?
#18: Re: CD PLAYER Author: lisa206, Location: BirminghamPosted: Fri Jan 25, 2013 6:06 pm ---- aftermarket
#19: Re: CD PLAYER Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Fri Jan 25, 2013 6:53 pm ---- Yes it can be done.
#20: Re: CD PLAYER Author: lisa206, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sun Jan 27, 2013 12:19 pm ---- By getting an adapter?
#21: Re: CD PLAYER Author: broadblaster, Location: south coastPosted: Sun Jan 27, 2013 12:24 pm ---- yes if you look in the ice section there is a list of what you will need but its very easy to do.
