Guys
& gals.. problem sorted
Phoned VW and they said i needed extra cable(breaker sending me at the moment). Sussed out 2 pin connector on back of cd player was terminal for lighting. VW guy wouldn't comfirm this as i'd purchased from 3rd party(typical). One of terminals was a ground, ie short circuited to chassis. 2nd, when touched with continuity measurement together with inside/inner(not outer) LEDS, illuminated the LEDs i wanted to illuminate in 1st place. Feel good factor at abou 1:30pm today 110%
2 wires installed, 1st from outer pin to chassis and 2nd from inner pin to connection labbelled with a sun for lighting (2nd pin in on bottom Head unit connector.)
All, in all, a botch up arrangment with 2 wires hanging out my cd player, one to earth and one to variable live from Head unit but sorted anyway.
Proper cable on route from breakers but couldn't wait.
Sad that this board couldn't tell me i was missing a cable, 2 days and all for a standard CD player fitment.
