Siemens vdo cdr 500
« on: 20 October 2013, 20:17:38 »
Hi

Recently I have bought a used siemens vdo cdr 500 player, it has replaced my philips casette player. The siemens is working fine, I can hear the radio and the cd is working properly, but there is just one issue. The cd track and the radio stations are not shown in the mid tid panel.

My omega is a firts series 96 model  with big mid tid.

Is there any solution to this matter? or it is just the siemens is not compatible with the mid tid.
The mis shows blank in the upper part, it just showed some figures when I had to enter the code.

Thanks

Antonio

Early MIDs were 8 digit, later 10 digit.

CDR500 can be set to either with a key combination. I *think* its press and hold 2 and 4.

Mine is 8 digit mid tid. I have just tried pressing 2 and 4 and did not work. Might be another combination I guess

Ok, will try later and let you know if I solved it.

This  morning I went to my local Opel service, it is not the offcial one but the owner and some mechanics used to be in the official service and they know my car pretty well

The did not know about the 8-10 digit and could not fix the problem, ask me to leave the car there and see how to solve it but I need the car today so I couldn't leave it there

My radio came from a Zafira, I do not know if that helps.

Just tried this and what happened is

First time mid tid panel showed STEP 9 after the bip but no solution, the second time showed STEP 10 and same, no solution,  third time again apperared step 9 etc..
