hi all, i am new to this forum. i have a 01 TT and am having problems with the volume of the bose unit, when i try to rotate it to a higher volume it goes almost mute, an then i rotate it again and goes to full volume, scaring the hell on me . i noticed that it does it especially in cold weather. any help?

 

i have a similar problem and i have noticed it happens more in the cold. mine increases when i try to turn it down and up. i just turn it down slowly one "click" at a time. also it seems like the electrical probs happen more in cold weather i wonder if its battery related.

 

The pot (volume ****) is dirty. Usually this well fix it:
1. make sure you have your radio code
2. pull the radio fuse to keep your radio off
3. turn the volume **** back and forth as fast as you can for a minute or two.
3b. if that didn't fix it, spray some electrical contact cleaner in the crack by the ****. It won't damage any electronics (it's make for them).

 

can i instead of plug off the fuse, do not put in the key in the ignition?

 

Yes. I didn't think of that.

 

by chance, do you guys realize you can listen to the radio w/o the key in the ignition? Radio plays by itself for an hr and then shuts off.

 

^yea, just push in the **** and push it again so it pops out, and radios on!!! i didnt know that til mistake one day

 

o my god, one and a half year with my tt and only now I realise that you can play the stereo without the key... I feel sooooo ashamed....

 

thats my self timer when im screwing around with the car. 1 hr to get small jobs wrapped up, or i'm wasting too much time.

 

^this is such bullshit, why the **** are we creating new features like "my garage" and not getting rid of spam
