Hello all,
My girlfriend has just bought a 2002 Punto Sporting. Very happy with it, except we were told by the seller that the CD changer had stopped working a week or so ago.
It's got the standard fit head unit (with subwoofer) and the optional Blaupunkt IDC A09 changer.
The changer powers up with the head unit, and you can insert CDs and eject them fine. But if you press the SRC button on the head unit, it just cycles between radio and tape, and doesn't recognise the changer.
The changer is the correct Fiat version.
I've pulled both the headunit and changer out of the dash to make sure all the connections were OK which they seemed to be although the connection at the changer end did seem to not be clicked firmly into place.
I'm wondering whether it has for some reason lost it's security code which is stopping the head unit recognising it. But I downloaded the Blaupunkt manual from their website and and it says to press the CDC button which should then ask for the changer code. I've only got a SRC button and that just cycles between radio and tape.
I tried to de-register the changer from the head unit following the Blaupunkt instructions. It said to press CDC on the head unit the press and hold buttons 2 and 5 on the changer. This should make all the eject buttons on the changer light up in sequence, but mine does nothing.
I'm guessing there is some key combination on the head unit that allows you to enter the CD changer code, but can I find what it is??
Just tried going to a Fiat dealer. Thought I was on a winner when the service receptionist said they'd go and ask a technician. But when she came back there was a lot of sucking air through teeth and I was told I would have to book it in for a couple of hours worth of diagnostics "as it's not just a straightforward job you know". :bang:
Does anybody have any ideas, or is the head unit or changer goosed??
