I received my Chorus I stereo a few weeks ago (4B0035152B). I didn't have any speakers in the car at the time, apart from one aftermarket speaker in the driver side that was badly wired and didn't work. Nevertheless, I fitted the stereo and an aux kit to plug into my phone. I'm sure I plugged everything in correctly. Of course I couldn't test it as I didn't have any working speakers. A day or two after installing the stereo I started my car and all of a sudden smoke started pouring out the stereo with a burning stench that something had fried, there was also some crackling in that one speaker that never worked. Naturally the stereo didn't work but I noticed the fuse had gone at the back, so I replaced the fuse and it powered up again. I Took out the aux kit (thinking that might have shorted something) and installed some second original speakers into the doors. Wired everything up, but no sound?
Have I fried something in the radio - will I need to buy another stereo?
