Hi guys, I'm having an issue with my B7 Concert radio. It wont turn on at all. I've tried various different original radios and non of them seem to work for some strange reason. I tried and aftermarket radio and that powered up just fine. Is there something I'm missing?

I've attached a pic of my wiring loom for the radio.

I would be grateful if anyone could help me. :)

Hi Uzair...welcome to the Forum

That does seem odd, because if the wiring powers up an aftermarket stereo then the power supply is the same and therefore okay.

The only thing I can think of is if the standard stereo has a security feature (coded) and the aftermarket doesn't? Also, check if there is a small fuse at the back of the stereo.

Let us know what you find

Cheers  Trevor

Hi Trevor, thanks for your reply.

I checked the fuses and they were fine. If it had a code it would at least power up but the original stereo shows no sign of life. Im probably going to order one of eBay to see if that works, if not ill just have to buy an aftermarket double din.
