+LordDarthNihilus Hi there, you are perfectly right, but the above video is just to demonstrate the amplifier replacement and fix. The car had it's head unit stolen and some of the connectors where striped. The complete repair includes soldering and two layers of heat shrink tubing covering the joints.

Hi, can you tell us what exactly would happen if tape goes loose and connets the chassis?

Fire fuses? All inside are from plastic non metal how it will suppose to be happened?

Glad it helped

If the new stereo is not stock it might just have a poor quality tuner. Also it could be a issues with this "amplifier" it might not match the needed input of you new unit.

Ahmed Al-Shehaib The blue wire is power supply for the amp.

In this case the radio did not work at all, no stations. After replacement it worked normal.

+alau18 No, it deals with the filter / booster for the FM antenna.

Thank you for the feedback. This in one of my old videos, now I have voice over detailed explanations on all my uploads.

Yes and no, there are some active power splinters that also provide basic signal boosting also.

+TechTronic9000 What you are installing is not an amplifier and I doubt there are actual amplifiers to be behund the radio (unless somebody made them to make money by exploiting naiveness of the people) because you won't benefit from an amplifier next to radio. Signal amplifiers must be next to antenna and they are used to overcome the losses in the long cable. If there is signal coming till radio, radio can pick it up, if the signal is so low that radio can't use it, then amplifier also can't amplify non existent signal.(therefore it is useless to have amplifier next to radio)

+Shojin187 In my case it was blue, but it's an after market radio also the wiring was partial destroyed after a theft event and a lot of wires where pulled out or broken.

Check all wires and connectors, maybe something is loose.

Thank you

@@chhunving3776 I know this comment was two years ago but wanted to add in. If you have installed an aftermarket radio and are trying to use the wiring available at the VW radio, you will be hard pressed to find an accessory line. This is the voltage line for powering on the radio when the ignition is switched on. You'll want to bring in your own switched accessory line from the fuse box - my choice anyway. the accessory on at the radio is not a constant voltage supply when powered on but rather a signal "ON" hence causing an on off on off etc....

I don't know what wire are you talking about.

the red wire from the roof antenna guide.alibaba.com/shop/16v-roof-antenna-audi-opel-seat-skoda-vw-golf_4951892.html

I think that supplies power (+12V) to feed the amplifier.

ya some how sure for that but hope to know where to connect it !any how thanks man

incase anyone interesting for what I asked, I fount black wire from main stereo harness and you should connect it to the new head unit stereo ( blue 12v + antenna ) wire

+Jackiieboii Wang It also acts as a filter for the antenna so it's possible to have an impact on static noise.

One of the blue wires should say remote antenna. You needed to connect that to your radio for the antenna motor to work

+Abdul Ghaffar Depends on your radio

+y22dtr1 The round silver case you see on the wire is the radio amplifier and as specified in the title of the video it's the amplifier for the antenna signal.

That is the piece that makes the ac power not to turn back on the radio and burn it.the amplifier os positioned on the antena în the back od the car man

+y22dtr1 Not really, there are REAL radio signal amplifiers instead of "fake" power filters, have a look at this picture: i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Bo0AAOSwmrlU1Bkn/s-l1600.jpg

asl pls ? :D :P
