Default OBD II/Stereo prob...

I think I may have whined on here a while back about this but does anyone know what makes the OBD2 port stop working when you put an aftermarket stereo in? I have to get my emissions done but they failed me cuz they cant connect to the port? Imola, how the hell does yours still werk?

Default I remember reading about this a while back...

Do a search on the k wire or k line or something like that. I think there is a wire that needs to be grounded from the factory plug.

Default I though it was a circular ground issue.

Talk to Mike TT about it.

Default Your installer didn't do his homework....

It can be fixed. See below.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/aftermarket-radio.html">http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/aftermarket-radio.html</a</li></ul>

Default Mike you better talk to Matt he know all about that stuff......

He used to be the head installer at innovative so I am sure that he can figure your whole wirring deal out in a few minutes. I have never met anyone that knew more about wirrig than him
