Vauxhall Corsa D '09 - Digital Display Unit - pianoman1

Hi,

The digits are scrambled on the display unit for the radio after I took it to be cleaned by a car wash company. They aren't going to pay up so I'm looking at getting this replaced. My question is whether I need an exact part number to replace this? If so, how do i get in there to read the part number?

Appreciate any help with this.

If it is a basic car spec,I would think that most of the displays are the same.Best to check by removing the dash top fittings to access the unit for the part number.www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0b_-b636pM

I'm quite happy with ordering the part now, but before I do, can anyone tell me if this part will need any specific programming or anything beyond sticking it in and plugging the cable in?

If it's the same unit ,should just plug in and work.

Got hold of a part. Installed it. Everything works fine, except that it goes in to "display safe mode".

After reading around and trying a few things, it looks like it will need to be reprogrammed.

Can anyone tell me how much labour time it takes to reprogram this kind of thing?
