Right ive done a quick search and couldnt find anything.

Drove to my mates house this morning and radio worked fine.
my car was left at my mates all day while we were at college. came home and got in the car, started it, radio didnt come on.

Ive checked the fuse and its ok, any ideas on what the problem could be.

PS its the factory fitted cassette radio and ive made no modifications to the car

Maybe there's an extra fuse on the back of the unit?

Have you been playing with the buttons to the right of the stearing wheel ? and does the radio come on when you press the big button in the middle of the radio?

dam i tried to cover the easy stuff lol. no i not played with the buttons at the right, and pressing the button was first instinct lol.
Thanks for suggestions though

Well ive managed to get the radio out, everything is plugged in and the fuse in the back is ok. but still it wont turn on

Hope you sort it, but if you don't I have a Stilo CD unit going (competitive price lol).

how much £ ?

Say £75 and I'll cover postage!

Lol. You and your HU's, wheeling and dealing

Just sharing the love lol. The CD-HU doesn't work with my xcarlink but then I bought it specifically for the Tape HU, not very forward on my part lol.

:doh:

So whys that then? Whats the difference thats stops them from both working with it

Wish I knew, it works but the sound quality is poor with the xcarlink on the CD-HU but great with the Tape-HU. It flummoxed me because the CD-HU works excellent with radio or CD.

Well ive taken the radio apart and fiddled, only really seemed to take apart and put back together
Thought i would give the power a plug in to see what happened, it worked so i proceed to plug the other 2 in. when ive done that, it had stopped working again!!:bang:

To say i am p***ed off is a mild understatement

ive got the exact same problem i was on my way to work and it just stopped and hasnt turned on since its been three weeks now.

None of you guys really said whether the device stopped playing and shut down completely, or was it first unresponsive and then each time you start the engine, the lights go on on the radio but there is no info on the screen or music playing.

This would help as I had the same problem and was able to fix mine.

the device stopped working completely and shut down and hasnt done anything since.

Check the fuse on its behind.

Do you know how to take it out?

i cant get hold of any keys to remove it ive got a standard set which seem to fit ok but dont click and pull the radio out

Nothing should click, you just need to push them deep enough until the rods push the clips out. You can find a guide here. Use a coat hanger, just like everyone else.

The fuse it right next to the connectors, easy to spot. I suggest you start there.

i just used drill bits when i removed my stereo as it had already was taken out by previous owner the clip was a but stiff "stuck" but if you press hard enough it will deffo come out, when you see what keeps it in you will see that you could use anything skinny to get it out as vlad said a coat hanger would do great
