Xsara Radio Cassette Prob/wanted

[scimitargtc]

Now got C3 so wanted to move Phillips radio/cassette & 6 disc Cd into her - seems from threads not worth it so want to put into sons Punto - as it has front panel control for cd not an issue there are no steering wheel controls. Plugged in expected to be asked for code which I have but nowt happens. on the workbench I eventually managed to get it to fire up but not convinced how -- won't work in car & now not on bench. there is definitely power as far as the fuse and the heat sink gets hot so she must be 'on' but no display -- thinking there is some time out -- I know from the handbook that 10 wrong codes = dead as the proverbial parrot but any help gratefully received - I'd even buy another head unit if v.cheap (as I can get a brand new radio/cd changer for £70 it would have to be very cheap).

 

THANKS

Turned out original unit has an intermittent fault - solution> buy another for £15 have it decoded for £11 & hey ho all sorted
