I recently installed a dice Ipod kit into my 2000 2.7t which meant removing the Radio. When I did the install everything worked ok but recently when you press the Tune wheel, scan or seek button's the radio just searches and searches. The problem seems to be an intermittent one so I think it could be down to a connection. Also I have no problem with tuning the radio manually so reception is not a problem; it is just the auto tuning that is the problem.

The other day I borrowed some radio keys and attempted to remove the radio. They were the wrong kind and would not remove the radio. however when I attempted to remove the radio pulling on it, it started to work again, but this fix was only temporary.

Any Ideas what could cause this problem?

Many thanks

Sounds like a loose wire or s short somewhere...my only advice is take it into a professional and see what they can do.
