got in my van today and column control for radio wouldnt control stereo,then 5 mins later radio starts carrying out the commands i did with the column control but with no control over the stereo via facia buttons

then it decides to only play cd6 (6-player unit) but in fast forward mode,then i switch it of it will switch back on and play only cd6 i have no control at all now....

is it just the cold that has got to it and will eventually right itself or am i gonna have to bin it and dig out my multimedia alpine setup from the garage to install now

can anyone shen any light please

Ta

 

it's normally caused by the cold, i know loads of ford radio's, especially the 6 disc models that do this

is this the same as the mondeo one or is it the earlier version with the removable front security panel?

 

think its the same as the mondeo-no removable panel

vans an 07

do they normally correct themselves when weather warms up

 

right all its done for last week is scan,facia buttons do naff all,steering column control when volume buttons pressed will play the nearset station but volume rises or drops dependant on which part of column control is pressed...

it is buggered? cant even eject my pet shop boys cd now

 

still batshit....anyone??

 

I take it the van is out of warrenty fella. The radio could of fooked up.

 

yes mate by just about 6months,i think its the steering columb stalk control thats snafu`d,gonna try disconnect from main unit,does anyone know if will just unplug from the back of the stereo and which plug it will be

 

if you've got the code just unplug it and leave it out for a while

the car stereo went a bit loopy yesterday after being in the cold, but once it warmed up it was fine

i would probably go with the "condesnation inside the unit has fried it" theory if pushed, but you can get new ones for about £50 off of ebay

 

Not got the keys to take it out so probly disconnect battery,worth a try cheers dojj

£50?? Its a 6 disc jobbie will look tho,had fancied fitting my alpine multimedia kit tho

 

I bought one for he fiesta for £22 so it's worth a loook

 

will do dojj,theres a few on the bay

cheers chap
