Question
Hi Peter, On the dash monted display it says the the radio is out and the cdc is also out when i scroll through this. I had the original stereo checked & they said it was broken so bought a new one and this is the same. Is there something that i need to do to get the display to say radio-in/cdc-in?

Regards
Simon  

Answer
Hi Simon,
Not too much to go on here but if you have a NEW head unit then it should be "plug and play" as they say, so if it doesn't work there may well be a fault with the car, surprising how many people kick the crap out of a head unit before checking the car. Check ALL the fuses including secondary. make sure ALL the connectors are in the back of the set as it's the 3rd block that transmits the info to the dash display. Other than that it's off to the Pug' dealer I'm afraid.
