I have a 1999 T 1.9 TDI SE. I bought the car with a Ministry of Sound stereo which doesn't pick up radio....it's missing an adapter I think.

I went to a scrappie and took a Phillips Beta V from a Golf. The first time I plugged it in nothing happened, but as the fuse was sealed I couldn't see if this was the problem so decided to replace it. After replacing the fuse I still have no power.

As far as I can see the plugs are as they were as the MoS stereo came with an adapter for them. Having checked a wiring diagram the power wire is correct.

What could be the problem? Do I need an older Beta model, or has the radio just had it? As it came from a smashed up Golf there's no way of knowing if it worked before.

Thanks in advance.
