Fitting a CD Player disables the remote central locking on my VW Bora - Help please!

Feb 21, 2004 3 Replies

Hope someone can help. Just fitted a Car CD player head unit to my VW Bora (replacing the gamma casette player) and the speakers make a slight hissing sound even when the unit is switched off and the fascia removed.



Worse is that the remote control does not operate the Central locking. I can still use the key to operate the central locking.



If I Disconnect the power connector from the CD Head unit then the Remote control work OK again.



Please help - first time I have fitted a CD Player and was suprised how easy it was until I discovered the RC problem.


It's called the Jetta in the US. They renamed the Jetta III to Vento and the Jetta IV to Bora for the European market.

Airhowlingly yours, Erik.

What is a Bora and is it air cooled?Sounds like something that we can't get here in the US.Stupid rules!

This is the aircooled group. You should check out rec.autos.makers.vw.watercooled. Good luck with your problem. ~Anthony
