  • '00 Espace audio questions 7 Dec 2004 (Forum)
    - The CD changer works fine. But if I try to use the radio the entire dash flashes on and off about once a second, beeping as it does so. Most disconcerting. Thanks in advance James
  • Laguna II Privilge Audio 16 Oct 2002 (Forum)
    I've a Laguna II Sport Tourer with the top audio equipment - the radio reception is brilliant, but the sound quality is awful - there is little base! Setting it to +6 (out of 9) helps a little (normally I have the base and treble settings in cars neutral, and don't listen to the 'music' that causes Nova door panels to distort...)but a Skoda Fabia hire car had much better sound quality (and road tests for the Fabia usually only carp about the 'tinny radio').
  • Accessories installed in all cars? 24 Jan 2009 (Forum)
    Is there a car (or even van) which does not come with a radio or similar as standard?
  • Vauxhall Astra - radio won't turn off 31 Aug 2015 (Forum)
    Strangely, traffic reports still come through as alerts and can be switched to with the TP button, but it's completely unresponsive otherwise - except for occasionally half a second on ignition when the radio comes through before dropping silent again. Does anyone have any idea on how we might be able to reboot the stereo? So far we've tried powering the vehicle off and on again, off and waiting for half an hour, and holding down the stereo power switch for twenty seconds, but these are all pretty rudimentary.
  • ford focus - amber battery warning 23 Oct 2014 (Forum)
    For the past three months, I have had no messages, but the auto start stop has failed to work on the car. Today, I sat in the car with the radio on for 20 minutes, radio turned off, turned it back on only to turn off within 3 minutes, put the ignition on, same message appeared with the battery picture again. Should I get this message?? None of my other cars have I had this problem, even with the radio on for hours sometimes.
  • Peugeot 306 - Peugeot/Clarion radio incorrect code 16 Jun 2014 (Forum)
    Anyway, I'll cut to the chase, I've got the original Clarion PU-2294A head unit and these seem to still be sought after on a well known auction site, so not having the paperwork for the car, and hence no radio code details I used various calculators and they all gave me the same code, but the stereo tells me it is incorrect. My Dad had the car from new, and my brother and I have both also owned it for various periods, so it hasn't been out of the family, none of us has any recollection of having to have a new code and cannot understand why it's not accepting the code I calculated.
  • Honda CR-V III (2007 - ) - Poor Radio Signal 18 May 2009 (Forum)
    Since I have had the CRV, I have noticed that when I am not in an excellent radio signal area, and have the heated rear window on, I loose signal. As soon as I get into a good signal area, it doesnt seem to make any difference. I have taken it back to the Dealer, who found the aerial base loose and tightened it up, but unfortunately this has made no difference.
  • Renault - Can anyone give me some advice please! 19 Oct 2007 (Forum)
    Bought my renault last jan and the fiat garage (they told me they own renault dealership in another town) had lost the service history between the trade in and me buying it, they said when they come across it they will let me have it gulliable as i am i accepted this, as they assured that they had serviced it for years etc details all on their computer. the battery died last week and the radio has gone off - local renault garage said i should never have bought it without the service history and service book, also i need to take it back to fiat garage i bought it from so they can apply for the radio code.
  • No cassettes on new Toyotas? 16 Sep 2003 (Forum)
    I can only get a cassette if I fork out for £3000-worth of colour DVD/SatNav or somesuch! I can\'t believe this. There is a slot in the Corolla\'s dash below the radio that I could slot a cassette deck into, but it would have to be a third party unit, and not sure to be compatible with the Toyota CD/Radio. I like taping BBC radio plays at home, to play back when I do my regular 3-4 hour trips up to Manchester.
  • Dealers - how bad can they be ? 18 Jan 2003 (Forum)

  • Mini Cooper S R56 2007 - DAB aerial solution 29 Feb 2020 (Forum)
    Hi all. My S is fitted with the factory AM/FM radio all built into  the circular speedo assembly, hence no DAB. Does anyone know if there was DAB option at that time please ? I'm not looking to change the radio itself, but I have added a DAB adaptor going in through the Aux port.
  • Citroen C1 2016 - Rattle in dashboard / bulkhead C1 new model 3 Feb 2020 (Forum)
      I'm fairly sure it's not in the engine compartment. How do I get inside to look?  Do the radio, speakers etc just prise out with plastic tools?  It's the current model with the touch screen "infotainment" job. Cheers.
