I have a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan and I tried hooking up my aftermarket radio and it has no power ? Not sure what to do? I double and tripled check everything but nothing helps.

Did you use a canbus integration kit?

You might need to use vcds the bcm may have disabled the radio feed due to a short. Long as you used an integration kit as the radio is fed by a constant feed only and canbus controls off and on tapping directly to the harness will cause issues and lockouts

Have you used a multtimeter on the feed to check you have voltage and ground?

So either a bad harness. The fuse on the back of the new radio is bad or a bad radio. With all the chip shortages any electronics have been having a substantial failure increase.

You really need a multimeter to test out the supply at the head end of the harness, there's nothing VW about this.
