information.
COMPASS SYSTEM
NOTE: Before troubleshooting or servicing, the technicians must be familiar with the
function and operation of the compass system. Refer to the Owner's Manual.
Use "Guided Fault Finding" when servicing or performing Fault Finding with the
Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
After connecting the battery, check all the vehicle accessories, for example, the
radio, the clock, the Comfort packages. Refer to [For transmission(s) 0A4, 02E,

Radio unit is equipped with an electronic Comfort Antitheft system which operates in conjunction with the
instrument cluster.
After disconnecting the radio power supply, the radio is ready for use again once the power supply is connected.
The Antitheft code does not need to be entered again. The requirement is that the first activation of the
electronic Antitheft system follows and that the radio is reconnected in the same vehicle.
The Antitheft code is transmitted via the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester. The radio card and the label on the radio
that were used in the past are no longer used.
NOTE: To access the Antitheft code the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester must be connected
"online" (network connection) and the user must provide a valid program user
id to retrieve a radio code.

-- Once the correct Antitheft code number has been entered, press the "OK" button to confirm it.
NOTE: If the Antitheft code has been entered incorrectly, it can be corrected
immediately in another attempt. If Antitheft code is entered incorrectly twice,
then the radio unit is locked for an hour. Then leave the radio unit and the
ignition switched on. After one hour, the procedure for deactivating the
electronic Antitheft system can be repeated. Keep in mind: Always two attempts
to input code, after that the radio unit is locked for one hour.

Analog audio (via the AUX-In input) and digital audio (via the USB or iPod input) can be played on the radio
or radio navigation system via the Multimedia System Control Module. Devices connected to the USB and iPod
connection can also be controlled through the radio or radio navigation system. The ID3-Tag or the title will
also appear in the radio or radio/navigation display screen.
NOTE: Since the capability to display the ID3 tags and titles on the radio or
radio/navigation system display depends on the quality of the audio files being
use, always refer to the radio or radio/navigation system. Refer to the owner's
manual along with the MP3 player or iPod owner's manual.
The Multimedia Control Module provides an audio input (Aux-In), a USB input and an iPod connection
(supply, signal and audio-in) as an interface. A specific adapter cable is used to connect the mobile device to the
USB or iPod interface on the Multi Media Control Module. There is an integrated storage space for the mobile
device in the Multi Media Control Module. It can also charge the device via the USB or iPod connection.
NOTE: The multi media system control module can also be installed separately if there
is no 1DIN slot in the vehicle. The customer can access the universal interface
(mitsumi socket) with a mitsumi-mitsumi extension. The mitsumi socket must
be integrated in the vehicle interior to do this. The mitsumi extension wires
must not be longer than 1500 mm.
The UHV Premium with Bluetooth telephone preparation is available only with a radio or the radio/navigation
system.
The UHV Premium with Bluetooth is a fixed installation telephone with a cordless connection; telephone data is
stored via Bluetooth to the cellular telephone registered to the vehicle.
The UHV Premium with Bluetooth strictly requires, that the cellular phone be interfaced via Bluetooth and
supports Remote SIM Access Profile (rSAP).
With rSAP, telephone entries, for example, can be accessed on the cellular phone SIM card.
When performing any service work or Fault Finding, use the Vehicle diagnostic tester under Guided Fault

A new repair concept has been developed for repairing antenna wires. Instead of a complete antenna wire,
connecting wires of different lengths and various adapter leads are now available as replacement parts.
ANTENNA SYSTEM
The antenna system for the radio and radio/navigation system without the diversity function consists of an
antenna in the rear window with an antenna module.
The antenna system for the radio and radio/navigation system without the diversity function consists of an
antenna in the rear window with two antenna modules.
Golf Sedan: for optimum "DAB (digital audio broadcasting)" reception, the antenna is in the rear window with
a special antenna module
Golf Plus: for optimum "DAB (digital audio broadcasting)", the roof antenna has a special antenna module.
There is also special roof antenna if the vehicle has navigation, a telephone or remote control for the auxiliary
heater.
The antenna system with diversity function serves to improve and optimize the reception quality in the vehicle.
The diversity functions are directly inside the radio and/or radio/navigation system. The vehicle does have an
additional antenna selection control module.

In such a case, damage to health and interference with vehicle electronics cannot be ruled out.
Volkswagen permits the installation and operation of radio units, as long as the transmitted power on antenna
base, listed in table, is not exceeded. For prescribed antenna locations, see table.
Limit according to VDE 0848, part 2 (max. permissible field intensity to protect persons) must be maintained
even, if necessary, through reduction of transmission output.
When retrofitting transmitter/receiver unit in the vehicle, the battery is used to connect the positive and negative
wire.
l Voltage supply positive via read wire, 2.5 mm2 cross section
l Voltage supply negative via brown wire, 2.5 mm2 cross section
The positive wire must have a fuse which must be located very close to the battery. Therefore, a fuse panel must
be secured next to battery. Both wires must be encased in an insulating hose.
Route the auxiliary wiring harness separate from the vehicle wiring. Minimum distance: 10 cm
NOTE: For some telephone systems and radio communication units an additional
terminal 15 (ignition) is necessary. If this is the case, then route a 1.5 mm2 cross
section wire from the transceiver to terminal 15a.

All standard and optional electrical consumers in the vehicle are shielded.
Interference suppression includes all sensors, actuators and all electrical motors in the vehicle, as well as
controllers in control modules that could cause high-frequency interference.
For interference suppression, electrical parts capacitors, coils and diodes are installed directly in the electrical
components.
Interference suppression components are also built into the connection housings of electrical consumers.
The grounding cables that used to be employed for shielding purposes are no longer used because interference
suppression is now done as near as possible to the source of the interference.
A shielded wire must be used between transmitter/receiver unit and the antenna. Shielding must be grounded to
unit and antenna.
At the same time ensure correct and continuous Ground (GND) connection of antenna base wire to vehicle
body.
The transmitting system must only be used when shielded to prevent interference in the antenna wiring. To
ensure the system it is tuned and operating correctly it is recommended that an output/performance check is
carried out.
