hi all,

am new to this site and this is my first post.:D

my wife owns a 05 1.6 fsi auto mk5 golf and all is fine except........
every now and then for no reason the stereo will come on by itself when the car has been locked via the remote, even when the stereo has been switched of on the panel before turning the engine of.:confused::confused:

am at a total loss with this, any help will be mostly appreciated.:beerchug:

thanks people,

alan.

Keep a CD in and it will not come on had mine into vag and they gave me a printout to say this is a known problem with the contatcs in the cd player they corrode and give a false reading as if to say that a cd is being inserted and swictching on the radio when a CD cant be found

Mine does the same. Thanks for the tip.

Can't believe VAG haven't recalled the units cos this problem seems really common.

update!!

had a cd in the stereo now for a few days, and i thought it cured the problem, but got up for work this morning walked past the car and the stereo was on!!:aargh4:

i think i will have to contact the waranty people and get the car in to a lecky to try and sort it out.

thanks for the advice,
