Summary
I own an 02 Jetta TDI and have had nothing but problems with the factory radio, which apparently is nothing new among VW owners. Great car .crappy radio/receiver. The dealer replaced it twice under warranty, but when the right side speakers started...

Weakness
Only compatible USB storage device made by Seagate, one l.e.d. color
