OEM head unit problem

[dotty]

Ok so I have put my standard CD player back in for the time being...

I have connected it all up and the red Anti theft light is flashing and when I press the eject button the green light flashes, However I am getting no display on the screen to input the code to get the bugger working :(

Any ideas?

It is only the one plug in the back of it isn't there? (Blue one)


cheers

Have you looked in the manual?

[dotty]

Yes. It should say on the display screen 'code'

[paul.goffin]

Wonder if there is a blow fuse, I believe there are 2 for the H/U?

[MilanoChris]

It's fooked. Get another on.

Only Joking :lol: If you connected it right then you've got no option but to visit Mr Honda.

If the fuse was knackered then there'd be no lights on the headunit.

Thats why I think there is 2,

1 for the permenent supply and the other from the ignition.

[dotty]

Does the word 'code' appear when you turn on the power?

[paul.goffin]

Should do,

i.e When you actually turn on the Headunit after connecting the supply.

I mean like this...

I think as you press it, it says 'C....O....D....E''
Dynax says:
like..
Dynax says:
you press power
Dynax says:
and it says nothing
Dynax says:
If you press the first number correctly (e.g. 2)
Dynax says:
it'll display the ''C''
Dynax says:
If you press the second number correctly, (e.g. 6) it'll say ''O''
Dynax says:
And it spells code if you do it right

Thats what it does on mine :lol:

I can't remember it doing that :-k
I know its a little strange in you have to enter the code twice IIRC, but it was exactly as detailed in the Manual.

No it doesn't do that. Had to replace the battery a few months back and also disconnected it for a month while we were away. Both times when the battery was reconnected the word CODE came up straight away on the display. I then entered the code once and the HU came on.

[dotty]

Still no joy here :cry:

I got it off a forum member.. Do you reckon I could take it to Honda and try the warranty thing?

Fuses? Someone said two? Is there one on the head unit itself? Although I dont think this is the problem as I can hear the eject mechanism etc working.

[Rcb]

Worth a shot with the warranty mate, but as your car is modified otherwise they may suspect something :wink:

the headunit from my first CTR used to spell C...O...D...E when you typed in the 4 digits.

Bizarre. Mine definitely doesn't do this - as I said I've had the battery disconnected twice recently and it definitely comes up with the full word CODE before you put any numbers in. :?:

God knows, Dotty get a proper head unit :lol:

Mine did the same when refitted it. :wink: 8)

Indeed.. Until then I am stereo-less :evil:

[Durzel]

Honda should replace it no questions asked mate.
