Seek help from a specialist in auto electrics, sounds like a dead short in the loom.

S**t mate, not good
Have you ever had any other radeo fitted or another alarm in the car? VW are ushlay very good with wires and this is a quite a saprise that this is happing.
I cant remember if you had a falt code read or not just to see if there was anying apparant?

check your fuse box to see if right fuses have been fitted, any fuse should have blown before it got to the point of melting wires.

my bet is a bad earth

Check main earthing points, drivers footwell --> Door pillar, Passenger footwell---> door pillar, Under steering column. I can provide wiring diag's if REQ.
