Ok I have done a search and cant find anything heres the info

car : Series II VY Adventral LX with 6 stacker factory headunit

I have had the dash out replacing drink cup holders, centre consol out replaceing modile phone holder, replacing a few bubbled satin chrome bits. The radio came out in 5 seconds flat once I had made my removal tools, I have put it back in and it made clicking type sounds as if it was loading the discs in the player but I get no display on the screen and it wont respond, I have checked fuses all test ok.

I was expecting to be prompted for a pin code but nothing

regards
Scott

Hey mate, good to see your still around, not too many thing have changed here in the forums!

The VY won't prompt you for a pin when it goes back into the same car it came out of. Bit of sticky one this mate and I don't think you are going to like the answer. It really should just power straight up when it goes back in the hole. See if you can't pop the glove box out, drop the side panel on the centre console and see if you can get your hand up behind the radio cage and make sure the ISO plugs haven't tried coming out partially from their panel. It doesn't happen often but I have known it to happen and it will cause a similar problem. Also, check to make sure all the pins in the back of the radio are straight and nothing is bent.

Failing all that your HU might have copped a whack or had a bit of a tumble that you don't know about while it was out of the car. Like I said....you put it back in and it just works. No rocket science involved.

It coped a bit of a hard life from a previous owner front face has a crack where it was damaged getting it out by previous owner, Im thinking its stuffed, I have ordered a new factory 6 stacker for the car.

I did check that the plugs were plugged in I will pop it out again today and try powering it up on a test bench.


Next Question
I have 5 cds stuck in the stacker, is there a mechanical release on the spindle carier inside? I separated the radio from the carier and I can see them sitting there but wasnt going to fiddle until I was certain of being able to replace it.

unfortunately not...they are theoretically stuck. Break out the persuasion tools.

Ok after having it in an out a few times today lookslike when it went back in the power supply circuits had a problem and a couple of caps among other things have failed, lucky they were comon items that I had, I now have it turning on via steering wheel controls but now no display on the face, and the the buttons on the face arent working, going to pull it out AGAIN and play with the face connections, I owuld love a circuit diagram :)
