There is nothing special you need to do. Just buy a new wiring harness and let it go. The amp turn on is either with the car ignition or turns on when it senses audio signal. I added a Sony Mini-Disc deck to my wifes 2001 Jetta VR6 and no problems what so ever.

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
