Hi @ all,
I've got a Connect Nav+ in my (2006) CROMA which I'd like to replace by a new 2DIN stereo. It still works but a dramatically decreased FM reception sensitivity (most likely because of the deteriorated antenna plug) and many cumulated wishes for other features led to the decision to replace the CN+.
My biggest concern is: How will I access all other car settings without CN+ ??
The operation manual explicitly says that presence of CN+ strongly limits access to settings via dashboard buttons. OK, I can accept that. But after I completely removed CN+ in order to test the parameter accessibility through the mode button and thus simulate the presence of a new car stereo (haven't bought yet) the big surprise is: Nothing changed!! Means access restrictions persist as if CN+ is still present !?! So I still cannot access the parameter menue circle as described for models without factory CN+.
So my question is: What or where is given a code (electric or whatever) to the car indicating the presence of CN+, since even after its removal the car behaves as if CN+ was still present? Is it a bridge somewhere in the connectors for CN+ ? (If it was a PC I'd say its a jumper or DIL setting issue, but it's not a PC here). So what delivers that encoded information? Is there a hidden factory setting for CN+ presence? If yes , where or how?
Now I'v become reluctant swapping to a new stereo, as long as I'm not shure whether I will be able to access full menue via the foreseen dashboard butons (Mode, + and -), without the CN+ connected but with a new car stereo instead.
DOES anyone know an answer to this question and can help me override the virtual CN+ presence in my 2.4 CROMA?
Thanks a lot to anyone who can help me/us! Greetings!
