Radio/Stereo Problem
« on: 13 November 2009, 14:41:07 »
Hi

I had a look but I can't seem to find a thread which relates to my problem but if there is you Guys will point me in the right direction.

My problem is with the radio switched on nothing appears on the dash display, turn the radio off and the date appears turn the radio on that display line goes blank.

Tried removing and reinsertng the unit but to no avail.

Any ideas????

thats common with aftermarket units as they cant supply the info...

Or someone has fitted a GM radio that doesn't support the Omega MID

The display is driven by top connector at the rear, middle one does speakers and the lower one is power

check that these are all present and fitted ?

What model stereo do you have?
Was this working previously, or has something happened that has prompted thhs fault?

Its also possible it has an aftermarket unit fitted at some point, and the ecu was told it no longer had factory audio...

Do the steering wheel controls work?

OK, providing all three plugs are fitted at the rear, you may find that you need to toggle the display mode on the stereo between 8 digits and 10 digits.


Display Programming

There are two versions of Vauxhall vehicle displays, one with 8 Digits and one with 10 Digits. If you connect this stereo to the wrong display, code entry is possible, but the display will either freeze or dissappear once the code has been entered. To reprogram, Turn off the Radio, Press and Hold Presets "3" & "5" at the same time, whilst switching the radio back on, and this will toggle between the two display modes.

No everythinh works fine both radio and CD plays ok steering controls all work. it's just the display.
I know it's not a major problem but if it can be resolved excellent.
