Don't know how to reset the radio code. When I first bought the car it came with the AM/FM cassette deck with CD changer in trunk it never worked, but it powers up and then asks for the code, so I think it may work if it can be reset.

reset radio or replace

I dont remember if that year had a theft lock system or not, but I am looking into it. disconnect the negative battery cable for ten minutes and that should get you back to where you can enter the unlock code again and use the radio.

these are mostly hidden in the trunk.look for the cable to connect,
the changer in the manuel.or in car .and follow this cable .there you find the changer.at the end off the cable

check your fuses first. You may have blown one.

• Digital audio compact disc player physically damaged, misaligned, any control(s) inoperative
• Antenna or antenna cable physically damaged, misaligned connection(s)
• Radio speakers, mounting/speaker cones physically damaged, misaligned
• Radio ignition interference capacitors, radio frequency interference suppression bond misaligned (also check for cleanliness and metal-to-metal contact)

• Battery junction box (BJB) fuses F127 (5A), F117 (20A), F127 (5A).
• Central junction box (CJB) fuse F227 (10A) F211 (15A), F216 (15A), F226 (10A) (wagon only)

1. If the fault is not visually evident, proceed to diagnose the integrated control panel (ICP) by entering the ICP Self-Diagnostic Mode.

ICP Self-Diagnostic Mode
NOTE: To enter the ICP Self-Diagnostic Mode, the ICP must be ON and in radio tuner mode (AM/FM).

1. Enter the diagnostic mode by pressing and holding preset buttons 3 and 6 simultaneously. This will suspend all radio functions, and display SP.

1. Preset Button 1 = Audio internal/external SELF TEST. The display will flash SELF while gathering the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), then stop flashing when complete. Press the TUNE UP button to display the DTCs if any exist. Record codes and refer to the following table:

ICP SELF-TEST CODES Code Description 0 No diagnostic trouble codes logged 1 No response from rear chassis unit (RCU) 2 No response from cassette player 3 - 4 No response from compact disc player 5 - 6 - 7 No response from remote climate control 8 - 9 Read Only Memory Verification failed

1. Preset Button 2 = Displays the feature strap for code identification, refer to the following table.

Code Description 01 Base-Electronic Search Radio (ESR) with Manual Climate Control (MCC) 07 Electronic Search Radio with Cassette (ESC) with MCC 17 ESC with Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) 97 Not programmed default of ESC with EATC

1. Preset Button 3 = ICP and RCU identification. This test identifies the software level of the ICP and RCU. The ICP is tested first, followed by the RCU. The display will have two sequences of three codes each. The first sequence is for the ICP, the second sequence is for the RCU. For code identification, refer to the following table:

I have a 2003 Mazda MPV that has the stereo that you could add a cassette deck or MD to...I do not have either, but there is a button for it. I found a guy on the internet that made a chip that plugs into the back of the radio and has a 3.5mm jack on it that will play when you push the cassette/md button on the radio. It is great....sounds just like one that came from the factory.

go to a store were they sell car stero an take your radio an tell them u need a wiring harsent to plug in the radio an plug into the plugs on the car you have dont go to walmart the dont sell them its going to be from car stero store.

Check the power (fuse) distribution box under the hood. All the way up top towards the windshield there should be a small 10amp fuse marked "mem" see if that fuse is good and try it again.

Look in your owners manual for the fuse number and it's location.

Likely have a Monsoon radio system in your 2000 Beetle. The CD changer is controlled by your radio, and not any CD changer will connect to the outlet in your trunk. You can either find a CD changer on eBay (or elsewhere, or swap out your radio for a radio from a newer VW Beetle that has a CD player installed instead of the cassette. Can also find those on eBay.

check behind the interior trunk panel below antenna and make sure it is connected also check the connection behind radio
