Thanks Jan, that’s very good of you

It’s a bit out of my price range, but maybe…
Could you just reassure me on a couple of points please?


1. When you switch it on from a cold boot, does it resume where you left off, eg if you were listening to the radio, does it come back on when it powers up, and with the same station?
2. Does the RDS work properly without having to be manually configured? On the one I had, I had to switch the AF (alternate frequency) function on every time

3. Does the “sleep” function work OK? So that you can select a time interval for the unit to stay powered up when you switch the ignition off, avoiding a cold boot every time you stop the car for a minute…


Not sure if Erisin will want to do business with me again anyway – I was patient for a long time, I think, but eventually got a bit shirty with them when they kept suggesting things which didn’t work, getting me to pay postage costs for returning a faulty unit etc…
