I cannot save any music to my HDD. I hit the Extra button while a CD is playing. There is no Copy button in this menu like it shows in the manual. I've tried old CD's, new CD's, even one I ripped myself years ago. The VW dealer wiped the HDD back to factory settings. That did not help. Any ideas?

98 Jetta TDI AHU 1.9L (944 TDI swap in progress) I moved so now i got nothing but an AHU in a garage on a pallet.
at first im like DUDE, WRONG FORUMS, then i realize out cars are this stupid and complicated.
Why did they wipe it? was it an issue before?

I sense DRM.
Try ripping to your PC, then copy to SD card then use SD route and see if the copy button appears.
Depending on the method used to burn/copy a CD from long ago, it could still carry over the "help! I'm being copied" code. Proprietary playback systems today always check for that code.

The HDD was empty so wiping it was their attempt to reboot it, I guess. I will try the SD card approach. Thanks for the info!
