Monsson Radio Problem

Greetings everyone.  I currently own a 02 Jetta 1.8 with the Monsoon radio/cd/tape deck.  About 5 days ago I got in and started the car, the radio will turn on BUT there is no sound coming out, not even a hiss through the speakers, it will NOT change stations nor will it change modes, (from radio to tape to cd)  if I pplace a cd in the player it will change modes, but still no sound.
 
I have read the other forums and tried the whole "fuse 43" trick to no avail.  Does anyone here have any input?  I would greatly appreciate it.
 
Thanks

I have a 2003 GLI and am having the same problem. does anybody know what the problem is?

no idea what the problem is, but i have a Monsoon tape/cd player from my car that i would sell you if you find that the deck is the problem.

from an 02 gti 1.8t

Well if you can't change channels, or you can't cahnge modes then it would be the deck.  If everything worked as advertised, then maybe would be the speakers.  Sounds to me like the deck is fried cause it's not working like it should.  I kept my old one that came with the 6-disc, so if anyone needs it I can ship it.

how much for just the cd 6-disk changer------just out of curiosity
 

The one in the trunk??  If I can figure out out to take it out, what parts you will need.....prolly under $200...just name your price.  I dunno how much they go for.

ya---- the guy before me took it with him. and i donno im just kinda looking ya know. honestly imnot real wild about popping the trunk everytime i want to lisen to wezer.but at the same time dont realywant to rip apart my dash.---its a conundrum  
 
 
so iwas just wondering if u had a pricetag on.

You make the offer....it's a 6-disc, but for like $200-$300 you could have like best buy or circuit city install an aftermarket one.  So, for like $200 you could have a nice aftermarket one, or for under that you could have the 6-disc........

thanks anyway man. i think your right about the aftermarket. so im going to think about it for a while, sooo....
 
but while i got u hear i want to thank u for this and all my other stupid questions, and all my moronic questions that are sure to come.
 

Nah, they aren't any stupider than what other people ask.  I mean even I have stupid questions cause, let's face it, we can't know everything.  That's what we are all here for, to answer other people's questions, no matter what thye are...believe me I've had some whoppers..lol.  Anyways, your welcome!!
