    Exact same problem

    I have exactly the same problem. My stereo will turn on, I can adjust the volume, but there is nothing there. The display is stuck on the last station I listened to. Neither the steering wheel controls or the console controls will adjust the station. I tried to get the stereo fixed at the dealership, but they just recommended replacing it after verifying the fuses were fine. Anyone have a solution?

    My daughter has a 2004 Jetta and her radio recently started having the same symptioms (only buttons that work are the power on/off, volume control and the CD eject). There is no sound and none of the other buttons work. I pulled fuse 42 which supposedly resets the radio, but it did not resolve the issue. Not sure what else to try.

    I have the same problem, I was told to try and get it to reset by holding the scan and seek buttons simultaneously or the mode and the scan buttons to get it to prompt the passcode which is in your owners manual. I tried the scan and seek button trick with no success, and I don't see or understand what button was reffered to as the mode.

    I have a 2003 Jetta with exactly the same problem. Have just tried seek and scan/ mode and scan doesn't do anything. I'm going to print your comments out and speak to the dealer tomorrow.

My stereo is stuck on one station, dosn't light up wont turn off/on \r\nthe volum control not working, cant change station, I don;t know whats going on with it !!! It worked fine yesterday

check all of your fuses, the radio has 2 power feeds, one for the operation and one for the memory, if the memory feed is out the radio will work partially like you explained

I need to set up mi radio with my favorite stations..how we can do it?

Tune to station to be set.

Press preset button and radio will mute, keep pressing until radio volum increases to normal again.

Preset should now be set for that button.

Repeat for other stations using other numbered buttons.

What does the EPC light control on a 2002 Jetta 2.0? Also, the radio stations do not come in very clear, any suggestions?

it's a traction control for driving in snowy climates you can turn it off and able to spin the wheels more freely but i suggest leaving it on,as for the radio i'd check the antenna if screwed in tight or missing if tight take it to the dealership if still under warrenty from the factory
