Android touch screen radio with backup camera not working properly.

Volkswagen Jetta 2008 Sedan, 2.0T BPY, dsg, Wolfsburg edition  165000 miles
Replaced the factory multiple disc unit that died with an aftermarket android CarPlay unit. Wired it into the taillights along with another one for a dash cam (it’s working perfectly). Everything except the backup camera works fine.
The trunk doesn’t work now either.
There’s no real instruction manual whatsoever. China. Came with a wiring harness and cambus decoder that plugs right in.
Got any ideas on this?

The camera works perfectly with the power on and the engine off. Switching into reverse mode and shows a good image from the backup camera.
However, with the engine running it doesn’t work. It briefly shows a multiple image, then goes black, and gives a no signal message.

Update:
I’ve seen a gadget on AliExpress that claims to fix this problem. A transducer or something. The device filters out the hidden data transmitted in the wiring somehow. Apparently, this computer data is only present when the engine is running.
It looks like a typical canbus adapter for led headlights that wires in like a ballast resistor.
Could it be that simple?
Why is this not common knowledge if so?
I’m going to try it. Costs less than $5.

Radio not working

Volkswagen Jetta 2016 sadan 122396 miles
My radio and outlets have not working since i bought the car. The fuse to the 12v outlets is blown. I replaced it hoping it would fix the issue but it did not. There is no fuse where the diagram shows the radio fuse should be. When i try to put a different fuse in the same spot it is extremely loose and still does not work.

Replace the fuse in slot 30 with a 20A and the fuse in slot 57 with a 20A hope this helps. If this doesn’t work, buy new fuses chances are the ones you bought are just poor quality

There is nothing in slot 57 and it does not seem to connect to anything. But the radio has turned on randomly for a few minutes here and there in the past.

Engine runs but won't start SolvedSolved

Volkswagen Jetta 2001  143 miles
Hope someone can help me. I own an automatic Jetta 2001 and it was working properly until suddenly, one day, it wouldn't start again. The engine runs but there is no way it can be started. The fuel pump's pressure has been checked, the coil replaced as there were no sparks in the spark plugs, but the problem is still there. All fuses are alright as well as the crankshaft's sensor. The acceleration body has been cleaned and the battery replaced. Can the stereo have something to do? Because it is indicating SAFE 0000, meaning that the car is blocked? Can someone please tell me what to do?

After many attempts at trying to solve the same problem you are now having with my Jetta 2001, one day I found out that the temperature's sensor, through which the cooling liquid runs, had oil in its exterior. It was dirty due to a previous tuning, so I removed the connector to clean it and the failure disappeared. I really don't know how this can affect the starting, but I cleaned certainly deeply that connector, which has 4 pins, and the vehicle started as if nothing had happened. I then bought the sensor and the problem was finally solved.

Thank you, siller for reading and sharing your experience. After trying different things, I myself removed the crankshaft's sensor, took it to a good electrician and he said it was not working properly. I then bought a new one, installed it and it finally started.

Bluetooth not showing up in media menu

Volkswagen Jetta 2014  125000 miles
I have a 2014 Jetta. I changed the battery and now my bluetooth doesn't show up in the media menu. I tried unplugging the module under the passenger seat, disconnected the battery and tried resetting the radio all with no results. Any ideas on next steps for troubleshooting this?

I go on radio, bluetooth, and apple carplay and i can’t hear anything at all. I check the fuses they are all receiving power. I’m not sure if it’s my radio head unit, speakers or amp.
