Hi Everyone!

Searched all threads and came to realise that radios and Fiats with computer control (mine's a 2006 Punto 1.2 Dynamic) can be a dodgey thing. Read some horror stories where folks changed their radio & it ceased functioning.
My car came equipped with a JVC KD-G322 CD/MP3 player-RDS radio; I have no idea if it was factory or dealer (car was a lease unit) installed. Had the owner's manual (thankfully in English) in the glove, but after a thorough read-thru am still not able to get the display to stop flashing "0000_A" as I toodle down the road - bloody distracting! I can access all functions, and am able to scroll thry the display to see the clock, name of station (which is what I would prefer to see in the display all the time), frequency, etc., but after 5 sec. of no pressing it goes back to flashing "0000_A"!

Thought about finding the fuse to the radio and pulling it for a "hard reset", but after reading all the horror stories I'm having second thoughts. Would go back to the dealer where I purchased it only as a last resort, as Finnish car dealers are one step above pond scum in the food chain, and I know they'll want to charge me for this...

Any info or input would be greatly appreciated. :worship:

Cheers in advance,

hi

hi! welcome to the forum
its a aftermarket hu so don't worry about the cars computer, do you loose radio settings when you turn the hu off? if so its a wireing problem, otherwise try posting in the ice section for more help

Sorry, Toad, but what's a "hu"? The radio?
If so... no, settings are retained after power-down.
Will try posting in I.C.E.

Cheers!

hu = head unit

Gotta get used to this "jaunting jargon" - being an ex-backline tech for a few well-known bands, "head unit" was one of the terms we used for the dodgy boilers at the backstage gate...:slayer:

Great car, great forum!
