standard headunit help, how do you turn it on

[rik19]

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..

Im sure ive seen this issue before actually

Check the fuse - its quite possibly blown.

thanks for the replies guys...

pressing the left knob it wont turn on

the fuse is ok..

ive tried holding down all the buttons now, still wont turn on..

the red light flashes on the front untill you turn the ign key it then goes off, been trying for about an hour, wont come on....hmmmm

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

[rik19]

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

[rik19]

after a lot of searching it looks like i need to loop a power wire to another pin to make it work..

[alexperkins]

That rings a bell

[rik19]

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..

Happy days
