standard headunit help, how do you turn it on
Hi guys, ive just got a standard headunit for my polo off ebay, came with code etc, ive plugged it in, a red led is flashing on the front...
question is how do you turn it on etc...ive tried holding the volume buttons down the volume etc
sounds daft, i dunno how you turn it on,.. to even enter the code...
one of these just found this pic online, its one like this
thanks if anyone can tell me..

Re: standard headunit help, how do you turn it on
I think this is to do with there being no K-line feed on the 6n polo. I'm not even sure if there's a way around it
Re: standard headunit help, how do you turn it on
k line feed? is cos i dont have a cd player bit or something...

It's the predecessor to canbus. The radio communicates with the ECU on more modern Polos and checks in
Re: standard headunit help, how do you turn it on
after a lot of searching it looks like i need to loop a power wire to another pin to make it work..

That rings a bell
Re: standard headunit help, how do you turn it on
fixed now, had to join the power pin to the one next to it, as my polo had no wiring in the connector for it..
works now, yes the volume button turns it on and off..
