• Yaris CD Player / Audio 25 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Does anyone know if it is possible to either retrofit a CD player to a Yaris, or fit an after-market unit? While I normally just listen to the radio, it would be handy to have one and preferable over the tape. One thing I did wonder is whether it is possible to access the audio inputs to the main unit. I'm assuming it must have something like a line-in on it.
• Car reliability survey 14 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Just heard a bit on the radio concerning the Auto Express survey of 25,000 cars. Didn\'t get all the details but Lexus came out top (surprise, surprise) with Jaguar 3rd ! Perhaps more interesting were the bunch propping up the foot of the table which were, I believe: Fiat (worst), Daewoo, Peugeot, Lotus, Kia, Land Rover, Vauxhall, Citroen, Renault, Suzuki.

• Golf Mk3 Aerial Problems 1 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  Is this the MW aerial or am I talking rubbish as I know that household receivers have two aerial inputs, one for FM and one for MW. Please help as the new football season has started and I can't listen to radio 5 live!!
• aircon and air temperature 14 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  In my mondeo's manual it says that its only ok to use the system when the outside air temperature is +4 deg C or above. But VW have been marketing the Polo on the radio saying that the cars aircon system can be used to heat the car up-I know you can turn the dial round to hot and have hot air coming out but would it not damage the system running it at say 0 deg C ie against the advice in the manual?
• VW Eos TDI Sport 2.0l 2010 5 May 2020 (Forum)
  I cant connect to the bluetooth. I have a RCD 310 radio and Bluetooth is selected 'on'. In the MFD Menu there is no option for 'phone'. I have tried clicking the factory resets in the MFD menu. I've read about having to unpair the existing phone and people saying you need to connect with the existing phone to get the 'phone' option to appear in the menu.
• Volkswagen golf - 1.6tdi noise from engine? 27 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  The sound clip is when my phone is sitting on the middle of the dash above the middle vents so you can hear it better than if I hold the phone. This noise is still present when the radio/fans are off  Only can hear it on idle and goes away with slight revs or the engine drowns out the sound   Here is a clip of the sound - http://www2.zippyshare.com/v/XjzChhxJ/file.html

• Peugeot 206 - Peugeot 206 wipers frozen then electrical fault 9 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  All I got was a clicking in the general fuse box area.They eventually worked but now whilst driving all the electrics intermittantly fail     ie speedometer,temperature,radio,headlights all cut out for a second then kick back in. Battery seems fine -car starts up first time and doesnt seem to be a fuse because everything works when tested. Anyone have any ideas because if I drive at night it will look like i am flashing my headlights at everyone
• Mitsubishi Outlander - Specialist who can replace satnav hard drive? 6 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  The satnav/music system/radio on my Outlander has packed up - think they call it MultiMedia Communication System...Mitsubishi say it will cost c£2000k plus fitting to replace as it comes as a sealed unit. They can't even diagnose what the fault is but I know it's almost certainly a hard disk failure.
• Mercedes-Benz C220 CDi Estate 2011 - Comand Problem 29 Dec 2013 (Forum)
   This afternnoon it started then towards the end of the track the unit switched off completely then restarted, playing from towards the start of the same track and reading 'disc loading'.  This it continued to do.  I cannot get it to change tracks or change to radio or access the sat-nav.  It is well and truly jammed. When it is light and the gales have stopped I will try disconnecting the unit then after a period to reconnect. Will this work please?

• skoda superb 2 1.9 tdi 09 plate - annoying whine between 50 and 60 mph 16 May 2013 (Forum)
  When I get to 50 mph I get a sound simular to someong blowing over the top of a bottle between 50 and 60 but constant, the revs are between 1500 and 2000, in 5 th gear over and below those speeds it not there, Another example its like the sound you get from a car radio thats not supresed, and you can hear the alternator through the speakers
• Skoda Octavia - Battery Leakage 13 Jan 2013 (Forum)
    Is there anything consistent coming through on this one - the blame seems to fall in equal measures on bluetooth, internal light, glove box light, boot light, radio - a new battery was installed a couple of years ago but at the first sign of cold weather - bingo - a dead car.  Love the rest of the car but being a couple of pensioners, we do need it to be reliable.

• Peugeot 406 Excecutive - Airbag Light 12 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  I have a 2002 peugeot 406 executive, the airbag warning light comes on when the car is started, not all the time but most of the times, and it displays airbag fault on the middle display where the radio is found, and then that message goes away what bothers me is the light on the instrument cluster which wont go away. Is there some way of stopping this airbag fault, the indicator stalks in my car are brand new so that is not the cause of the problem, and i have heard about a wire under the seat but my car has electrically moving and heated seats so there is quite a collection of wires.

• 1812 overdriveture 15 May 2009 (Forum)
  Discussion on Radio 4 today about electric cars being a lot quieter than fossil fueled motors ... a petrol/diesel motor can be heard from 12ft away where'as an electric job can only be heard from 3 ft away (have I explained that properly!)
• "6+ points may prohibit your application" 18 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  I nearly crashed my car when I heard those words on the radio as part of a job ad tonight for driving instructors, together with the stipulation that a UK or EC licence is required. I've just checked the ad on line and it's true. So you can learn to drive on the right and (apart from our Irish chums) not have English as your mother tongue, then get more than 6 points on your licence and you still might be OK to train others how to drive?
• Ford - Ford 6006 6 disc CD Player 9 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  Can anyone help? I have bought a used & tried to install a Ford 6006e 6 disc Radio/CD player in place of my single disc model in my 1999 Ford Mondeo & also tried it in a an 2001 Ford Fiesta and understood it just plugged in using the same cables. When CD player installed there is no display (will not power on) so cannot even get to the code entry stage.
