Radio

[Silverfox58]

Ok my radio works ok but the screen doesn't work,
Well it will come on if I take the battery lead off and on,
It stays on for about a min but I can't do anything, ie the buttons don't work but the radio dos but I can only control it from the steering wheel,
Any help please.

Get a code reader on it, check the connections on back of head unit and especially in the boot. Could have water in boot like another member on here.

Will do ,I did send my amp away to have that sorted, I have unplugged everything then back in again,

[Silverfox58]

Ok so I have taken all the plugs out and cleaned them
And it's still the same,
Could it be anything else

[henrym3]

Unfortunately as I had lots of similar problems years ago which were going to cost far more than replacing with aftermarket I went down the aftermarket route. So have reached the limit of my knowledge with the standard setup. Any advice I would give from here on would probably be complete bo£%&cks

I have 2006 3.0d with exact same issues. Had loads of battery issues, after the 4th jump start i replaced the battery.
After each jump the monitor came on and worked great, then all of a sudden nothing but audio from radio, steering controls work as do the station 1-6. Its a weekend driver and never for long journeys. When doing a long journey 100 miles on motorways, the monitor starts flickering into life and then works great. short journeys, no monitor.
Have a new battery same situation. but after two long motorway rides, and the last week been driving it daily the monitor is working excellent, completely faultless, (i do also have a little solar trickle charger plugged in for what little it does) Screen is fine now, but for some reason no tv tuner anymore.

Hmmm interesting I only do about 1 mile a day to pick my van up ,and if I'm home I may do 20 miles ??on a weekend, perhaps that's the problem.

The screen should light up when ignition is turned on..bit dim maybe when its minus temperatures.
