• 1998 Mondeo TD boot opener 15 May 2004 (Forum)
  Is there any way of using this without having to change my IR central locking to the 'radio' type to facilitate the newer key FOB needed? At present I have IR locking and my key only has the 2 buttons (lock/unlock). I have read on a few sites that you can upgrade from the 2 to the 3 button keys without too much hassle but aren't all 3-button keys radio and not IR??

• Poor radio reception 4 Oct 2023 (Forum)
  Or buying a used one, again from a recognised brand. It may be the case that neither helps with the radio reception. In which case, is there a particular type of antenna that works best?. I'd rather avoid the metal coat hanger if possible, but would consider it as a last resort!.

• Vauxhall Combo van 05 plate - Electrical issues 7 Apr 2023 (Forum)
    Installed repaired cluster last week and initially all OK.  A couple of days later, noticed that the centre console/radio control panel was illuminated when the ignition was off/key out.  When radio is switched on manually or ignition is on/engine running, lights go out.  Experimented today, and also found when ignition on first stage, switching the headlights on also switches the radio on!

• Renault Espace (1997 - 2002) - 00 - electronic dash issues 19 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  But I don't particularly want to go to a Renault dealer and be told I need to shell out a four-figure sum on a new dash and radio. Any ideas what's up / where to start? Needless to say I've tried disconnecting the battery for a few hours, to no avail. TIA James
• Peugeot 405 Battery Drain....or not ? 20 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  S I disconnected the battery for two days to remove the drain, and of course the car started up Then, another guy told me that half an amp is normal, as the clock and radio memory use that much when the car is sitting. Just seems like a lot of current to me for a clock and a memory on a radio......Leave the interior or side lights on (I think a 25 W bulb is about half an amp) and you'd expect your battery to take a tumble afeter a couple of days.
• Does your RDS TA radio annoy you? 5 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  As soon as I tune back into FM - it tells me to avoid the area. Also whilst I'm having a rant - how about displaying the radio station name so I can decide to turn the TA straight off if it's out of my area? Or is it a case of operator error on my behalf??? Come on Audi - you should be better than this.... Cheers
• Imports a tale of caution 31 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  I have bought a few cars from them in the past and they are a good company to deal with but watch out for the warranties. When I arrived to collect the car they had lost the radio code. They took to a local audio 'specialist' who removed the stereo to recode it.( they should have faxed MB for the code or take it to the merc dealer which is 500 yards from Motorpoint) The new Mercs having tons of electronics 'thinks' that the radio has been nicked and a shuts down cetain elements of the ECU.
