2010 VW Jetta SEL PZEV

Question for ATG. The radio in my fiancee's 2010 Jetta stopped working over the weekend. She said when she first started the car it took several minutes before the radio started but it did work. Then when she went out for lunch it would not power on at all. It is one of those touch screen models with a CD disc changer and XM. I figured it might be a fuse. Looked at the manual and it said it should be a 30AMP fuse in the engine bay slot F18. However when I got under the hood F18 is empty. WTF? Any thoughts?

Doesn't sound like the problem would be a fuse, though.

Reading a few places on the net, it seems to be a common problem.

If it's out of warranty, just replace with an aftermarket. Those cars are actually very easy to change radios in.
