Stereo stopped working

[Human after all]

I was driving home today, playing music from a usb stick, when the music just stopped. I am now unable to get radio or usb, and the audio functions menu is blurred out. Has anyone else experienced this? I wondered if I had accidentally disabled the function or if my stereo is definitely broken?

Thanks

Paul.

Not very good with technical 'stuff' but I'd say it sounds pretty fooked. Think a trip to the dealer will probably be needed!

Check the fuse for the radio to make sure it's not that first.

Check the fuse for the radio to make sure it's not that first.

How do I do that?

[Bigfeet]

Open the glovebox, whip off the cover (be careful as it's very easy to break the lugs), count 10 fuses from the left which should be a yellow 20A and check that.

I just had a go at whipping off the cover, but was worried about breaking it. Which way does it open from? I was able to wedge my fingers into the top-right hand corner.

[Bigfeet]

Best way I found is to tease it gently from the right hand side in the middle and work up.

What do I have to do? Pull the yellow one out?

[Bigfeet]

Lol! Yes pull out the yellow one and check it with the diagram above.

I took a photo. It looks like the fuse is not blown.

[Bigfeet]

If the silver arch is in one piece then no it's not broken. Looks like the radio unit has failed in your car then

Sucks. I haven't even had the car for a week.

Thanks for your help, Bigfeet.

I bought a 32gb usb stick for mine and sometimes it used to play a few songs but most of the time it only played about 30secs then knocked off, select usb again and it started playing again then 30secs later knocked off again. Then when i selected it again it came up with error and sometimes it knocked the volume off etc and only way i could get it back working was to turn car off for 5mins, then it was fine apart from the usb problem starting again when i tried it. Gave up on it now and gone back to my Ipod which works fine through the usb.

Human I've had my stereo do all kind of strange things! The crackle which I've spoken about elsewhere on here is the consistent problem but I've had it freeze on me a couple of times as well as other strange goings on I won't bore you with. Maybe there's a bad batch of the head units! Still waiting for my new one!!

Still waiting for my new one!!

How long has it been now? Seems like you have been waiting forever!
