Radio not working - Saxperience

claff · 21st February 2009, 17:38

I have no idea why, i remember it used to work when i got the car or anything. im 99% sure its nothing to do with the h/u because ive tested it with others and it still doesnt work, all that comes through is noise, very occasionally i may hear some extremely muffled radio through it. the noise does not change at all when i plug the antenna in or take it out, just exactly the same.

any ideas what it could be? i've probably just been stupid and missed something.

Are u using the original saxo wiring loom + connctors or have u any iso connectors. may be the wrong connector for ur radio type if thats possible.

is it connected to your arial lead behind the HU? and is your arial standard? and is it screwed on proply ect?

pretty sure it is the right connector for it... looks like this:

and it does fit into the back of the headunit properly.

and yeah the car uses iso connectors for the headunit but i'm not sure what difference that would make to the aerial/radio reception. about the wiring loom i'm not sure about these things but the cars had a new engine put in, so maybe some other things have been replaced (i'm not sure what engine it is).

soz a read ur statement wrong, so u can play cds n that but cant get radio, as add says check ur ariel connections. all it is is a black wire that goes from ur head unit to ur ariel.
