Hi, This is my first post here. for almost two years now I've had no reception whatsoever on my Concert2+. Done a VCDS and got this

I've tried replacing the 8P4.035.225.C connector/amp at the top of the rear windscreen. I've tried checking fuses, I've taken the radio out, dismantled it and left it disconnected for two days and plugged it back in. No change.

Also there's a CD stuck in it which it just gives me 'CD ERROR' on.

Keen to get this fixed asap as I need to sell the car (3 kids = no more A3)

Anybody have any thoughts?

Despite the error message about the aerial, it seems too much of a coincidence that the radio does not work at the same time as a CD is jammed in. Is there no way to forcibly extract the CD with snipe nose pliers for example once the radio is dismantled? Perhaps that would enable the radio to be selected.

It lets me select radio, just gives me no reception at all! I'll dismantle again tonight and remove the CD forcibly, see if that makes any difference.
