Hello to all

 

I am new here and am so happy I found this site with a wealth of information. I do have a question im hoping you all could help me with. I have a 2008 volkswahon Jetta and bought an Avic D-3 off ebay. the unit itself looks great I have the wiring harness for the unit but do not have it for the jetta. My quesiotn is this how hard is it to do the install myself. I have seen many videos online on how to remove and isntallt eh radio but i think my bigges tproblem will be hooking up the wiring harness for the jetta to the avid d3, any suggestions as to how i should go about doing thia? any wairing diagrams I can follow? I have not found any gfor the jetta, and has anyone dont an install in a jetta before?

 

thanks in advance for your responses!!!!

OKay so if anyone can help I got it all hooked up but now the problem is the Radio will not turn off when I turn my Jetta off. It justv stays on even when I remove the key I used a wiring harness and matched allt eh colors toghther nothing seemes to work other than that it works fine and sounds amazing any thoughts :(....
