Re: Volkswagen Beetle 2000 - Cd Changer

Hi there, I am looking to fit a cd changer into the boot of my volkswagen beetle - 2000. I have been told by numerous people that there should be a connection in my boot prewired and if this is the case, what am I looking for and where do I look?
I have recently bought a Alphine Cd Changer 5952Z and was wondering if this was compatible without having to get a new head unit?

Your best bet is to find a VW cd changer as it will just plug into the car. To locate this there is a panel that opens up which covers the first aid kit there will be a spot for a cd changer to fit in. in the unlikely event that you need to connect the cable on the back of the radio there are slots on each side which you simple press in and the radio can be pulled out to check the connections. Warning if you disconnect the battery or unplug the radio it will require a code to unlock it after it has been plugged back in. A dealer can provide this code if you do not have it already in the radio operation booklet

My CD players says check magazine when magazine is already in there.....

My 1999 Beetle did the same thing. I didn't have any luck repairing it, even tried a different magazine but nothing helped. Fortunately I found someone local selling a used trunk-mounted CD changer for $10, so I bought that and it worked like a champ.

So for me, I ended up having to replace the CD changer to fix this problem. Hope you have better luck.

The CD on my 1999 vw beetle drains the battery when the car is shut off. What would cause this? Is it fixable or do I need a new CD changer?

Check to see if power is on even with the key off. if so you need to wire it to a place on the fuse panel that powers up when you move the key to acc on the ignition.

I have a 2000 beetle with fixing in the boot for cd changer...will any changer do, not sure what i should be looking for! Thanks

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.

CD Changer noise

That sounds like a bad ground wire. You may have mice eating wires. Try gently shaking the changer to see if its a loose connection. the noise will go away if its a loose connection there. if not it may need a pro to find the wire problem. if you have access to the cd changer wiring, unplug it entirely and see if the noise goes away.

Cd wiring

On the 2005 Beetle, it's not in the trunk, but in the center console under the arm wrest. There is a special CD Changer that fits that spot that plugs directly into the plug under there. I've bought two off ebay for my wife's beetles and they work great!
