    My radio stopped working. Also I seem to have a power drain when the car sits. In the trunk I found a 6 CD Changer and a Monsoon Amplifier. I removed both to see if this would stop the drain. I turned on the radio ( original) and when it powered up the screen read “SAFE” and then switched to...

    Hey! Recently got a 2009 beetle. The radio is on, but there’s no sound. The issue isn’t consistent. Sometimes when I start the car the sound plays fine. I was thinking it could be a wiring issue. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
