CD413x to Symphony-from bad to worse

XpowerTT · 5th August 2008, 08:39

Good morning all. Some of you will be aware of the problems I had over the week-end in installing a Symphony head unit in place of the CD413x in our 06 reg ZT. It was eventually concluded theat the Symphony head unit was not compatible with the changer in the car and it was left that I would have to find a compatible changer. Nonetheless the radio and tape functions appeared to work fine so I did leave the Symphony in place. That was of course with the car on the drive.

This morning I've actually used the car for the first time since Sunday and find that the radio only works while the car is stationary-not a lot of use. As soon as the car moves off the display changes to "phone Mute" (there is no phone connected) and radio speech/music is clipped. Not only that but all the Symphony controls are inoperative and to turn the radio off I have to stop the car and turn the ignition off.

Is all this due to changer incompatibility?

I'm getting really ****** off with this!
