Yea I ran into this problem as well when trying to install a head unit in my sister's jetta, searched for VW forums on google. And sure enough I found info on how to go about it. German cars can be pretty complicated lol

If you find that everything is wired correctly, you should take a look at this http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1979085 I think this is for a Jetta but it will likely help you out, Volkswagen has a weird way of doing things. Like you said in VWs when you turn the car off the radio stays on until you remove the ignition key, which is a big problem when installing an aftermarket stereo as the 12v signal is not attainable through the wiring harness. You will need to run cable to under the drivers side dash. Take a good read at the link I posted, theres some VW experts there than can explain it better than I ever could.

Thanks for the info

Simple question, What is the input sensitivity on the Merlin series amps? I searched the US Amps website but couldnt find the info. I'm contemplating on buying an MD21 to power a pair of components, just curious what their input sensitivity is.

Thanks for the welcome, hope to learn and discuss plenty with you guys

Hey guys, new to to the board. Much like a lot of other noobs around here I'm joining to learn as much as I can about mobile audio. I've always loved car audio, and known most of the good dependable brands, but I've never quite learned how it all works. Unlike most guys here I dont have the knowledge to even attempt installing a full system by myself. But thats why I'm here, cuz I love all this stuff and really want to learn. I'll probably be doing more reading than posting but still wanted to introduce myself, wus up everybody!
