I installed an aftermarket radio onto my 2009 beetle. Not an easy job but figured I’d share a couple tips and a visual for anyone planning on installing one of these radios in a bug.
I have the exact same installed into my 06. Before getting it installed my climate control was fine, now they don’t work. I see I’m getting power to them as the half circle arrow is lite but the AC light isn’t and the fan won’t come on. Fuse 25 is fine.
I bought mine on Amazon in November 2023, looks like the same model, I also have the battery drain. I have diagnosed that to the new head unit is not shutting off the power to the speakers even when you remove the key and the unit turns off. I checked with the original monsoon unit and the power signal is turned off when you remove the key. What are we missing? Also, Key 1 and Key 2 wires have no indication on the instructions on what to do with them or if they are needed.
@@ErikMontgomery-kg3du I just ordered the same kit on Amazon and I plan on doing this radio modification. Did you ever figure out what’s going on with why the battery is draining? Thanks so much.

You will have to cut out the plastic bracket holding the AC control knobs so that the new bezel will fit. Also take the old AC vents off your old bezel to attach to the new one.
Do fixed back up camera? I brought all the parts from China including 360 cam. But here people don't know how to Install it. If you live in CA please help me to fix this and I'll pay you
I didn’t hook up the back up camera. It’s all basically plug and play and screwing things in place once you cut off that plastic bracket I showed in the video. I don’t live in CA unfortunately!
Im about halfway through installing one of these. When i get to the back up camera i will start recording. The tricky part is going to be finding the reverse indicator light you will need to identify this so the camera switches on when you back up. Other than that it all looks pretty straight forward.
