I have 1999 VW Cabrio the stereo worked but had a few cracks so I bought a factory stereo from a 2001 VW Jetta or Golf which looks exactly like my old one but it is a "monsoon/premium".  I installed the new one and it does not turn on at all.  I replaced all the radio fuses and it still does not turn on.  I re-installed my old stereo and it works fine. 

Does anyone know what the problem may be?  Can you even use a newer model VW's facotry stereo on an older VW?  The person I bought the stereo from said it worked fine before they replaced it with an aftermarket system about a year after they bought their car?  Any suggestions would help.  I do not know much about stereos.  Thanks.
