Hi All

Not to sure where to start looking on this one - I have the stock headunit, and a seperate Sony MP3 CD shuttle which streams over radio (FM) to the headunit.

Recently both the radio and the CD unit keep cutting out i.e. turning completel off, as if there was no power to them, I've done nothing to the car recently. It seems to be more common when in start/stop traffic, once at a stable cruising speed, say 120km/h, it happens a lot less, if ever.

Where do I start looking?

Thanks.

 

Power and ground connections. First thing I'd do is pop the head unit out and check for loose connection at the harness plug. Also, wiggle the wires around and see if the unit shuts down.

 

Please excuse the topic heading - just noticed how badly formed it is.

The CD Shuttle is in the boot. Not the head unit.

Thanks, I'll give it a go. How do you get the head unit out?

I just realised something... which is why I mentioned it

Arn't the CD Shuttle in the boot, and the stock head unit powered from seperate points?

The reason I know the CD-Shuttle also dies, is because the control unit (changing tracks/setting transmitting frequency) is run to the side of the gear lever from the back of the vehicle?

Surely something else is wrong if they both loose bower?

 

Ok... just noticed something else, sometimes its the radio and FM-CD Shuttle sometimes its just the radio - where to start?
