Hi all, we have just bought a 08 Fiat Panda with the factory (Blaunkput 169?) radio/cd/mp3

The problem is that the radio turns on / off, volume works, works on radio and plays a cd when I put one in, but no buttons work – can’t change channel, set menus or eject the cd, and now stuck on cd only - won't go back to radio because the buttons don't respond :-(

Has anyone seen this before and is there anything you could suggest I check or do please?

All advice gratefully received

Many thanks in advance

Kind Regards

Malc
 
Pulling it out for an hour to drain any internal memory didn't work.

I even took the front off and cleaned the connector - no go - all buttons except the volume and display still dead and unit is stuck on radio Berks :-(

Interesting though, the unit didn't request a code when I put it back in.

I think I'll just get a fascia adapter and modern single din head unit.

Will gain a pocket below and a proper aux adapter
 
You may find that the aftermarket ones are a bit c**p.
Might be better off finding a secondhand original one if possible.
Get the proper adaptor for the cables and you should be OK, although some have had problems with certain units flattening the battery.
If you don't actually need a CD player, you can find solid state head units with USB MP3 & bluetooth for about £20.
(If possible, get one with ISO connectors rather than the "chinese" type connector, as it is hard to find adaptors for them.)
 
Hi Malc. If you like, I've the headunit from my 2010 100HP. Was going to ebay it but then saw this thread. It's in perfect condition and working order. Does not have an aux input however. Drop me a message if you're interested.
 
very many thanks for your kind replies.
Rock - sending PM

Kind Regards
