been tinkering with my calrion radio.... i dont know the code.

i cant enter any codes. (locked) just 4 dashes and the number buttons do nothing.

the cd changer in boot ejected its case and all that jazz, seemd to work fine.

i took the head unit out and unplugged everything so i could read barcode/serial and hopefully ebay person can give me the proper code.

plugged everything back in.

now the cd changer is dead, no ejection etc.

found on here if you hold the wave button while turning it on, you unlock the unit for a short while..... radio works fine, all buttons too.

however if i try and press the cd changer button the radio says "connect"

i have unplugged and replugged the cd changer cable at both ends several times to no avail and it still doesnt eject its case and the headunit still says "connect"

any ideas?

thanks in advance
jim

not sure how or why. but driving out my supermarket today...

the 4 dashes appeared on my radio screen

held the wave button for 10ish seconds.....says enter code.

entered code.....everythings working SWEEEEET.

perhaps the cars saying thanks for filling the gearbox with the correct amount of oil.

either way im happy.

urgh, for the past few weeks its been fine.

a few days ago the volume buttons started playing up, not working or working delayed.

then it was fine for the past few days after.

today the cd changer has gone back to "connect" when i press the cd button on the head unit.
and the eject button on the cd player no longer works. Sad

got the car back from getting its clutch done. so the battery has been unplugged, put in the radio code and the cd changers working/recognised again.

ill see if a battery disconnect fixes the problem if it happens again. but once again, happy

thing decided it wanted to turn on by itself and not turn off.

took the unit out and apart. found one of the two connectors for the fascia had come off. resoldered the 8 legs. did the 6 on the other one that was still attached to be sure.

thing works like a charm now.

had a weird issue the other day, cd changer was fine when i parked up at work, said connect when i left..

no power, wouldnt eject

the head unit needed to be disconnected and reconnected to its power to fix it, i pulled the fuse for ease.

i have a feeling my silly little odessy battery is dying (after 6 months from new). so when it gets low it trips some nonsense with the cd changer. i figure the batteries suckyness is amplified by the cold.
