What does the display say? If the display appears normal, you may have a crook head unit.

Remove the head unit and check that everything is plugged in correctly. If they are, then it sounds crook to me mate. sorry to tell you that. Also, check to make sure there are speakers in the car and that they are working.

Chances are battery has run flat or has been disconnected..So you'll need the security code for the radio..

the display just says 1, thats all.
its not asking for a security code, does it normally do that when you are required to enter one or not?
i wouldnt be suprised if the battery did run flat.
if i cant get the security code for it what price am i looking at to get holden to reset it?
cheers

The No 1 on display means first attempt to enter code..If you stuff it up No 2 shows up..You get 3 chances..Go to holden with you VIN number..I think it costs about $15 bucks..

Here's my twist.

VT Berlina had decided not to eject a CD. Can skip tracks, turn it off, but not change to radio, pause or eject. I think this has happened once before, so I did the same thing - took the fuse out, to then reenter the pin (which I have) to "wake it up" from it's confusion.

Problem

When using the preset buttons to enter the code, only 2 of them ( 4 and 3 as it turns out) work. I have 2 other digits to enter, and can't get them registered as I type in the PIN. Result - no go.

Any ideas? (apart from a new double din head unit with aux in on the front for mp3 player?)
