GoldfishMemory Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Most car alarm places are spot on for fixing radios and electrics that fuck up when the battery is disconected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 On the same subject (sorry to hijack the thread Zed....hey that rhymes ). My 306 has a factory fitted stereo with a CD multi-changer button on it but no relevant hardware (must've been an optional extra). What would it cost me to have one fitted....anyone any idea?

Louis Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Is it an indash cd changer or one you stick in the boot or under the seat? If it's in dash you could probably buy one and fit it yourself for just the cost of the cd changer. Bit more complicated for the ones that go in the boot or under the seat I originally purchased a 6 cd changer for my polo on ebya, I installed it and it didn't work. The seller was a bit of an arse and I sold it on ebay as broken (made a loss of around £60 !). I bought a new sony dab radio on some random site for £130 (it was £350 in Argos!) and fitted it myself, it's fantastic. The bee sting aerial was a bit of a pain to install as I had to take the panel off the roof whilst I fed the cable through but it was well worth it.

MikeO Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 No space in the dash so it'd need to be hidden somewhere...oh well, maybe Christmas . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 zed - whilst you have got the radio code you can try a little automotive reverse psychology. disconnect your battery again, leave for about 3mins then re-conect it. then enter your code as usual. may clear down the fault codes in the memory (or in the cars bsi if it has one) mike - if you email me some time tomorrow i can find out a spot on price for you (stephenbracken@peugeotmail.co.uk) chances are that the wiring for the changer will be there (its cheaper at the factory to put the wiring in every vehicle than to take the time to put it just in the ones that will use it, same goes for fog lamps too) you would probably just need the changer, plug it in and hey presto. if you can get me the last 8 digits of your VIN number i can tell you pretty much anything you need to know about your pug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately I took your advice and sat down before looking at the price....my wife may stop laughing one day soon . you'd be suprisd how often i have to tell people to sit down. the best part of the job is when young lads come in with their little fit birds wanting to buy fancy toys for their motors, then i gladly let them know they cant afford what there after. que disappointment and fast being dumped coz they cant put their birds shane ward cd on coz the fancy electrics make the cd player stupid prices.

Louis Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Mike - What about this? http://www.lowcostcaraudio.co.uk/shop/Blau...d_productJJ3320 You'd never need a cd again, you can get 4gb cards now for less than £40. So it's the equivalent of having 35 cd/albums in the car at anyone time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 no problem mate. there is only one thing more temperamental than car electrics. (no guessing please) most of the time its best to just try a few things and see what happens, i guarantee if it happens again it will be a different nonsence procedure that fixes the thing. happy to help mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
