97 Jetta. Radio works but 6 cd changer not getting power anymore

The radio in my 97 vw jetta works fine but all of the sudden the 6 cd changer in the trunk appears to not be getting power. Cd magazine wont open when i press eject. Also, on the radio, when i press "mode" the only options it now dislays are am and fm. The radio doesnt seem to be acknowledging that the cd player is hooked up. Could it be a fuse for the cd player? Where is that located? On the cd unit itself?

Look in your owners manual for the fuse number and it's location.

If you buy another factory radio it'll need the unlock code to work with your factory alarm system. But if you go with an after market radio it'll work just fine, your alarm will just think there's no radio installed.

SOURCE: 2003 VW Jetta trunk does not open

most likely cause is latch cover plastic has broken and got lodged in the latch mechanism. now the fun part, fold down back seat , slide into trunk with a phillips screwdriver a flashlight and a large strait blade screwdriver, once in trunk remove trunk cover, then with strait blade unlatch the trunk. once lid is open remove latch and take out broken plastic to free up latch and reinstall then retest before closing trunk.

SOURCE: 2004 VW Jetta engine compartment fuze box location

one is located over the battery, the other is located in the side of the dash.

First panel:
If you pop your hood the battery will be on your right sid in the front of the engine bay. There is a small rectangular piece on top of the battery with a lot of heavy guage red wires going to it. That is the engine bay fuse box.

Second panel:
if you open your driver side car door it's under neath a panel located inbetween the door and the dash board.

Try this. Go to the cd changer and unplug it. Wait ten seconds and then replug it. Should work then.

I have a Jetta 4 with front loading 6 disc CD changer. How do I remove this device to repair?

Hi there
You need a special tool, it is a flat piece of metal that you slide in on both sides and pull it out. The radio shops can help you or maybe your VW dealer. Good luck

1996 VW Jetta Trek Radio won't work

I have this same issue, it is not code related, I have a code and the radio works just fine WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. As soon as the engine starts, the radio loses power, did you ever find a solution to this?

Battery drain

My wife's 2001 Jetta TDI had the same problem. First we changed the battery. (It was just about due anyway) No change. We then traced the power drain to the in-trunk mounted CD changer. This was an aftermarket CD changer but we went to the same source that the VW dealership uses. Of course one blames the other. The CD changer was even replaced with no change. If we are not using the car for long trips we unplug the CD changer and no more dead battery! Neither the VW dealer nor the AV installer could give us a good working solution to this problem.
