  • BMW 1 Series - BMW 2016 (manual petrol) won't start initially 14 Mar 2018 (Forum)
    start it, first: radio on engine off, second: dashboard said Engine already on, third: no lights all dead, fourth: yellow ECU energy warning light stayed on, but then it disappeared once I finally got to start it properly.

  • Hyundai i10 2009 - Fitting a new car battery these days.... 12 Feb 2016 (Forum)
    volt battery in the device is sound too. Apart from the radio stations what else might we lose if we just disconnected the old and fitted the new? Is there still a radio code on cars such as this? Or what else in the electronics might get lost in the move? Thanks.
  • Skoda Fabia - 02 Fabia Brake Lights & Other Electrics 29 Apr 2013 (Forum)
    lights were on.  They went off when the car was started, moved 3 feet, and stopped and all seemed ok for the rest of the day.  The next morning the battery was completely and utterly flat - no alarm, central locking, radio, even the clock had reset. 3) As well as the above, for some time
  • Ipod through a 3.5mm 'Aux-in' plug 31 Jan 2007 (Forum)
    Hi, I am changing my car soon and I want to use my Ipod in my new car. According to the Dension website, they don't make a 'wired' link for a Ford S-max with the 6006 stereo, only a FM radio link. In past experience, FM radio links are not really that good. It's a shame because | have

    there (that I can see anyway) that charges the iPod while playing it in good quality and includes a radio.

  • How much?? 30 Sep 2003 (Forum)
    in the standard dashboard radio cassette, all it needs is the autochange fitting in the back. As I was waiting to be served, I wondered how much the showroom had cost and who would pay for it.
