AU premium sound problem

tis11ozn · 13-10-2009, 08:04 AM

I hav an AUII 2001 Fairmont Ghia. Had some mechanical work done on it by a garage. When car picked up, the sound system was locked. Only displays "CODe". Obtained the code from a Ford dealer. But when entering the numbers, they are not displayed. Even left with the dealer for a day. Hav tried leaving with accessories and system on overnight, but still same. Dealer has advised will cost $280 to remove system, send to Melbourne, reset and reinstall it.

Are there any other quick / cheaper fixes ? Or should I just buy another head unit without a code ?

Thanks
Brad

either you switches on the sterring wheel jammed causing unit to freeze, pls check vol and seek buttons on sterring wheel, if not clicking properly they could be a t fault, other wise you cd player is at fault.
