Hi,

Hope someone can help me...

Fitted a CD Player in place of the Gamma unit to my Bora and the Remote control central locking stops working.

disconnect the CD Player power and remote works Ok again.

Searching on google suggests I need to not connect the Alarm wire to the CD Player but I cant find out which is the Alarm wire.

Any replies appreciated. Thanks.

This is a common mistake made when retrofitting non-OEM HU's in to the VW.

The connector is either correct for the radio or you've used an Autoleads (or similar) adapter.

You have inadvertantly shunted 12V down the loom onto a wire that aint supposed to have it!

If you have the Autoleads adapter - you must carefully clip-off the wires that aren't essential.

If you didn't use an adapter, get one and do the same.

It's not plug and play as they make out!

If you have alot of golf or bora stuff to ask, slide over to www.uk-mkivs.net and join in the fun........we even have banter about the cars sometimes!
