If your car is Bose but the radio doesn't show Bose when you turn it on you may have configuration issue.

You could replace the head unit pretty cheaply, ECS had some recently.

I've had this same problem with a few OEM radios in the past, but not the same radio in your TT. In my other experiences (3 times) it has been an issue with an internal short in the head unit. Typically I just replace the head unit since they are so inexpensive. We have TT head units for 85% off or 69.95 and up available at this link if you are interested in a replacement.
