No display on MFD when radio turned on.

Post by AndyLFC67 »

Hi,
Ive got a 98 Corsa into which ive just installed CDR500 radio/CD to replace the original unit.

All works fine except when I turn it on the middle section of the MFD goes blank so I dont know which radio station im listening to. It did the same with the previous Grundig radio but that had its own LCD display so it wasnt a problem.

Othewise the MFD works fine so im guessing its a wiring issue, Cheers,

Andy

Thanks for the reply. Not sure what you mean about jack plugs - its just got the slide in cage and block connector at the back.

I didnt have to mess with wiring at all, its all bog-standard. Cheers

I think it needs to be programmed to it again via opcom or tech2, not sure if generic stuff can do it, call down to your local garage and ask
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Thanks for the replies.
So are there any head units (pref CD) that will work with the Corsa B MFD?
Cheers,

Thanks for the replies folks but ive sorted it.

Pressing 3 & 5 on the radio switches the display output & now working fine. Cheers,
