Just got the radio code sorted today, it shows the date when you turn the ignition on but when the radio or cd is playing it's completely blank, Can anyone shed any light?

its because you have put an atermarket cd player in mate. it only works with te standard d player. you can make it work but disconnecin pin 8 (i think )in the back of your cd player but you will have crap radio recpetion ater that. everyone has the same problem mate.

No mate, it's the standard cd player

I don't think i have ever had it come up even when i had the standard head unit in. I have an aftermarket one now and the date only shows when i have it switched off otherwise it is blank. Personally i don't see it as a problem because you still have the temperature and the time which is all good!

Yer I've got the same problem really bugs me now n then but mine don't show any temp once it gets above 60 degrees lately it don't show at all.. :S

Well my temp gauge just has a load of dashes and no temp. ever. lol. oh well easy way 2 check the temp - open your window and see if its cold lol

Where in the world does it get above 60 degrees?

Yer I know it always used to say it's like 50 - 60 degrees outside when it was more like 10 lol n now it's stopped working so bit irritating :S

Replace the sensor located behind your front bumper. Get them for £5 on ebay. 2min job.

What model number is your radio, and has it ever displayed right in your car?

Quite a lot of the original vaux radios work on both 8 digit (corsas) and 10 digit (astra?) displays, but will show nothing if it's set to 10 digits on an 8 digit display. You need to hold some of the buttons down as you turn it on, but it varies between models.

For the CDR500 turn the engine on, radio off, hold 3 & 5, turn the radio on (Still holding 3 & 5) and wait until it beeps and you get "DISPLAY 8" on the mfd. Once that appears let go of 3 & 5, and it should remember the setting. If it's another model I'll try and find the button combo for it.

Duuuude thanks alot man finally it's working I remember I kept trying it with the car on after Reading it on another site but cheers just need to get a new temp sensor then hopefully the dash should fuly work
