Re: Stereo Problems

Fuses are all good. The yellow cable wasn't connected though. Apparently the Alpine didn't need that in the Polo. Anyway, swapped the red and yellow, and hey presto, all working. Now I need to get my cubby hole in there, and I'm good. Stereo wise. Flipping brake pipe burst today, and had to get towe...

My B5.5 daily beater & other motors...

So, this is my first toe dip into the Passat. I have had a few Golf GTI's / V6 4Mo's in the past, and even a Polo, but this is my first Passat.

Re: which cruise control kit?

Good find. Might give the Chinese one a whirl. They build VW's in China, and the streets there a jammed with them, so might be okay.

Stereo Problems

Hi guys, Just bought a 2003 (B5.5) Passat TDI S. Despite me quite liking the Gamma headunit, and single CD player set-up, I do need Bluetooth in this vehicle, due to the amount of miles I will be doing in the motor. And I have an Alpine CDE-133BT HU that I took out of my old Polo. So that should giv...
