The premium radio is NOT the Monsoon system. If you think the car has the
Monsoon system just turn it on. If it has the Monsoon system then "Monsoon"
will be shown on the radio display. Either way adding a new radio is a
piece of cake using the Metra wiring harness and antenna adapter. You won't
need to worry about the Monsoon amp powering up since it will get it's turn
on signal from the antenna's turn on signal. You HAVE to connect the
radio's turn on lead or you won't get any AM. If your radio had an amp and
antenna turn on lead make sure you use the AMP lead or the speakers will
turn off when you listen to a cd.

Hi-

Thinking of buying a 2000 Jetta GLS or GLX, and I have a question about
the factory radio.

Is the premium radio called "Monsoon"? I have the idea from somewhere
that it uses powered speakers. Is this correct?

Can you add an after-market radio, to add, say mp3 playback? and how do
hook it up to the powered speakers? ie: do the powered speakers use
standard line levels and impedances?

And finally, what CD changers work with Monsoon?

Thanks for your help,

Cheers
