Overwhelming success today! I now have a radio again and Agnews actually did it for free!
Just asked them about getting the aux to work, they said it's not something they usually do but they highly suspect it's a vagcom job! So I'll need to research into this now!
"It's possible to disable the AUX input altogether. So yours could just be turned off.
I've done this on mine, because I never use it.
On the Stereo press PROG, then I think you have to press the far right button for the next screen and it should be there entitled AUX. You can toggle it on/off."
So..... Success I think, thanks to @Ceebl , what made it work in VCDS is a touch confusing but the AUX is now enabled.
However.... We discovered that the aux adaptor I bought has all of the cables not only 1 set of pins to the left more than it should be but also upside down. So mauled the connector appart and clipped the pins on myself. There is currently audio from the jack now but in Mono, I suspect something is touching on the back that shouldn't be with how i jammed it in!
Need to find a bit more of a permanent solution now
Was thinking about this, remember the black wire that was bridged between 2 pins on the back of the aux? Did we not discover the wire colours were wrong and black was actually one of the LR channels? If they have that aux wired wrong then black will be splitting one mono channel to both channels on the radio?
Maybe you need to take that bridge out?
