Radio stopped working

2006 Jetta TDI, 300,xxx miles, 5 speed

Started the car to get home from work.
started right up, but no radio.

I checked the fuse in the fuse panel.
What else should I check?

Probably a dead radio. The Delphi ones commonly die, actually.

There is also a fuse on the back of the radio you can check upon removal, otherwise you'll just need to replace it.

If this is a stock radio there is also a fuse in the back of the radio that can blow. Is it completely dead with no lights, or will it just not power on? If the later try pulling the fuse in the panel for 30 seconds and try again after reinserting it.

I have a stock radio if you need one
