Re: My radio doesn't have a cd but there is a button...
Usually they don't do that. We have a 1998 Ford Taurus that has the button for the cd but no wiring for a cd changer in the trunk. You can check for yourself if you like.

I dont remember if that year had a theft lock system or not, but I am looking into it. disconnect the negative battery cable for ten minutes and that should get you back to where you can enter the unlock code again and use the radio.
it was a common prob with those cd changers in the boot/trunk disconnect it and let the head unit connect to it if still no good and the wiring/connectors are good the cd unit is faulty
these are mostly hidden in the trunk.look for the cable to connect, the changer in the manuel.or in car .and follow this cable .there you find the changer.at the end off the cable
try this and thats to remove the cartridge and take all the cds out ,then insert the empty cartridge into the set to see if it removes the last cd that was in the player ,then with one cd in try it again and if that doesnt work then disconnect the battery and try again other than that i have no idea sorry
does the radio have cd changer controlls? if so you may find the wires in the trunk if not you will have to buy a harness from ford and make sure the cd changer will work with the stock radio. Call the local ford dealer parts dep but make sure you have the vin number from the car with that they can look up the car and tell you what options where installed from the factory and can order the correct cable
Likely have a Monsoon radio system in your 2000 Beetle. The CD changer is controlled by your radio, and not any CD changer will connect to the outlet in your trunk. You can either find a CD changer on eBay (or elsewhere, or swap out your radio for a radio from a newer VW Beetle that has a CD player installed instead of the cassette. Can also find those on eBay.
that cd button is for an external changer that you must install yourself. once you install the the changer then all you have to do is press that button and through the circuit you can get your cd music.in order to install the changer you have to purchase a link cable to the the vehicle from the changer. you will not have to cut or splic any wires at all get the connector cable and the changer and once installed your all set. the plug in for the changer is in the trunk of the vehicle. now you will not have access to insert the cds while driving because that is not how the system works in a conventional sense like a cd stereo does
