Title: Radio Display
Post by: rc2325 on 25 January 2009, 09:25:54

Firstly Hi to all on this forum.  :)

I recently bought a 2.2 Auto (2001) & the display from radio (CDR2005 Delco) is not showing any station info.
It is showing the fuel consumption, range & the date ok, but not the outside temperature. (tried replacing the sensor under the front bumper but this never worked)

I can live with the outside temp not showing but the lack of radio station info is driving me nuts.  :-?

Any help would be appreciated.

What does outside temp show? -F?

As for radio, does display show date when radio off?  Does the date disappear when radio switched on?

Is the wiring OK at the rear of the radio? Has it been previously modified for another radio?  If power removed from radio, does code entry screen appear, and then dissappear when code entered?

The Temp display shows 'Outs Temp F  C'

When the radio is off the display has the date shown. & yes, when the radio is turned on the date disappears.

I only recently purchased the car so not sure on history of radio changes. Had the unit out and all connections seem ok.

Did radio ask for a code when refitted?

No, it just turned on & played straight away, although with no station info displayed.

Sounds like a poor connection on 1 (or more of 3 pins), or radio set to wrong display type (didn't think the facelift ones were adjustable though)

I had a similar problem to this on mine. you could hear the radio but didn't a clue what the staion was, was thinking it was buggered and might need to replace it, turned out it was a bit loose, so pushed the unit in a bit futher and it displayed the station. sometimes the simple solutions are the best!

Code may be disabled.  Also, if its a NCDx series, security works a different way
