content: Hi Robert,Thank you for responding.Yes, is the OEM VW audio system (made by Delphy)Problem that I have with this unit is that it wont power up.I had it connected to a VW car to see if really wont turn on, and it doesn't...BTW, I wont have the luxury anymore of keep testing it that way, so if I want to bench test a VW car radio do I just use the same connections as an aftermarket radio?From what I know it uses CAN bus...how to connect it to my bench power supply?So far I've checked the fuse, opened it up ...but I don't know where to go from here...

content: You should be able to power it up on the bench without canbus. I expect it will ask for the security code though so I hope you have it.

content: I usually use a OEM adapter harness for a replacement radio from Metra etc when bench testing the more complex OEM radios on the bench.Although sometimes you'll need a plug or 2 from the car,I usually get these for free from a friends work or the junk yard etc.Depending on what you're planning on doing it may be worthwhile although far from necessary.I used to do a lot of OEM integration work and for me the few bucks they cost was well worth it to have for me.Most of the stuff I have is on another computer,when I get a chance I'll take a look and see what I've got.Last but not least,what you intend on doing will help us help you out more,so anymore info you have will only help and wont hurt.Also while it might not matter for basics,the more complex issues can vary between markets.USA/Canada EU etc etc and finally you're going to need the code or the vin from the car the radio is from if you dont have it.Robert

content: I have the radio code, but first I need to get this thing to turn on...As I said I have tried it in a VW car which I removed the existing OEM working unit and plugged this dead one in and no signs of life, didn't even get to the part of putting the code in...
