Default Renault stereo help needed !!

Have a N reg 2.2 Diesel Laguna that i got for nothing about 6 months ago and have finally managed to get round to repairing the gearbox and got it back on the road at the weekend.

Now with the battery being off for so long the stereo needed the security code put back in when i got it all back together, entered the code no problems and stereo powered up alright but i have no volume and the word SPEECH is displayed on the facia !!!


Anyone know whats wrong ( its the bog standard Blaupunkt radio/tape player thats fitted by the way !! )

Cheers.

The mute out put will be trapped and earthed- hence speech comes up. Standard Renault sign when mute is activated.

Remove the stereo and check the outputs on the bottom of the iso block connectors.

The top will have all 8 wires in- this is speakers.

Bottom will have/need. Earth, Live, Switch live.
It will also have Illumination and possibly a remote aerial or 2nd live.

My guess is at some point it will have had a handsfree kit fitted to it and there is remenants of it still attached to the back of the stereo.
Look for a yellow wire maybe if its Nokia..

I dont have any pics to hand I am afraid.
