Title: Delco cdr500e
Post by: eliteomegaman on 02 December 2010, 10:03:21
Morning all
Hi. Bought an omega with a Delco CDR500(E) head unit. First thing i noticed was the detachable front panel wouldn't stay on one side so put some blue tack on to secure it. When the ignition is turned on the light behind the volume control button comes on code isn't asked for on display unit. Have the 4 number security code on the unit but don't know how to enter it as no manuals. Am i correct in thinking i have to press nos. 3 & 5 to enter the code? Do i need a new front panel or could the fuse need replacing? So many questions, so many answers!!  :-/ :-/ Cheers  :y

andy the only thing i can suggest is that you remove radio and check that the multiplugs are firmly located, my 600 done exactly what yours is doing i.e lighting up but no code input coming up on screen  :( it ended up that not all the pins were making between the plug and the hu  :y

Cheers for that. What's the 'hu' huh?
What about the removable panel? Would it help if i get another or as Andy said its coded but would it work on mine?
Cheers for any more info

beat me to it rob   :y
as said the removable fascias are coded to the HU (head unit)  ;) so another one will probally not work
remove the headunit and check plugs at back of unit  :y

Cheers Rob
I've got the complete unit in my kitchen
The removable panel wouldn't stay down on the l/h/s so i've now super glued it, hopefully all the pins on the panel will now be in contact with the unit. There's one wiring loom coming out of the hu & i presume that's all that's needed?
To put the code in do i have to press buttons 3&5 for the code to come up on the display screen?
Many thanks

when the headunit is out check that you have a permanent 12v supply and an ignition 12v, replug in with the HU out of the dash and try 'wiggling' the plugs if it doesnt work when you replug it back together, the plugs can look seated properly but sometimes this is not the case  :y

What about putting in the code? Will the display automatically ask for the code or do i have to press 3&5 to activate it?

1-switch on ignition

3-press and hold AS buttonand switch on radio-display shows CODE followed by ----
4-input your code with the preset buttons
5-store code by pressing AS button until a bleep is heard
