[Solved] PASSAT B5FL 2001: Guide for Connecting Non-Factory Radio to VW Passat - Wiring & Setup

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

How do I connect an aftermarket ISO radio in a 2001 VW Passat B5FL, and which power pins or wires should be swapped so it works correctly?

Swap the power feed and ignition/after-switch wire: the original setup needs +12 V on pin 4 and switched +12 V on pin 7, and if your radio has loose wires instead of a fixed ISO socket, swap the red and yellow wires [#16530198] The extra A5 pin in this car carries +12 V in the original radio, while in the new radio A5 is a +12 V output for the automatic antenna [#16530300] That A5/remote output can be used for an antenna amplifier or amplifier turn-on control, but if you do not have such equipment, leave it unconnected [#16530324] In the thread, the original poster confirmed the car had the original ISO connector layout and that the new radio was wired successfully after this clarification [#16530216] [#16530713]

    Is the beam currently in the car in the original or after some alterations?

    Maybe I'm wrong but as for me in both cases are the same ISO bars. Can you take a picture of the back of one radio and the other?

    If you have to replace the original in the power plug 7 from 4 so that the power supply is on pin 4 and switched on after the switch on pin 7. If you replace it then the radio will "lose memory" every time you remove the key.

    If the radio does not have an ISO socket built in only on a short bundle of cables, then there is the option of swapping the connection between the red and yellow cables.

    You see I forgot about the A5 pin that needs to be disconnected because there is a 12V power supply in your model, and in this new radio you have 12V output for the automatic antenna.

    this remote is just + 12V included with the radio. You can connect the amplifier / auto switching on control or the antenna amplifier control.
    If you do not have such devices in your car, just do not connect this pin. just like the original wire that is there and gives 12V is unnecessary for a new radio.
