Gs300 Radio

DLJ · April 27, 2003

Ive just got a GS300 and am confused regarding the tuning of the radio. It says RDS and will indicate the name of the station but when I use the auti tune, or manual come to that it doesnt. And when switching to NF ot TI it starts to tune and keeps doing it. What am I doing wrong?

Is the aerial ok ?

sounds like an aerial problem...

Thanks Duncan but I dont think thats the problem, the aerial seems to have more wires than the national grid, there is a wire with a screw connector which is taped to the aerial wiring but nothing to connect it too. On reflection (Ive only had the car a couple of weeks) the RDS/TI info worked when I first got it because I had to adjust the TI volume. What appears to be happening now is that the radio does not recognise RDS Stations although the presets are still showing the station name but will not recognise when looking for new etc. So unless there is something to press ie reset or whatever, it looks like a defect and I need an Engineer. How do I get the radio out or any bright ideas?

In anticipation thanks for anybodies help.

:iraqi-info-minister: Well Ive sorted the problem, in one way pleased but!!!

Managed to source a second hand head unit, ok he thought, changed it all but left a tape in so reconnected and lo and behold the old radio worked perfectly! I guess disconecting did the trick by resetting the unit. SO does anyone need a relacement head unit? I paid £120 let it go for a oner. Answers on a postcard oh oh.
