Hi all,
Thank you for taking the time to look at my issue I have looked for already existing forums but cant seem to find my specific issue.
I bought my RR 4.6 HSE Petrol V Reg last June and when I brought it the cd changer was temperamental, it would only spit out the cd housing box sporadically, but it played CDs. ( I never used it often really) then I noticed that it wasnt working at all, it wasnt spitting out the CD box, nor were the CDs playing so I thought ok, Ill buy a new CD changer (full unit) as I looked at the fitting and it seemed as easy as a plug and play once you have the Tailgate shell unscrewed. So I purchased an exact copy of the CD changer (Alpine) I plugged it in, to test it, it sounded like it was loading the CDs constantly, then the noise stopped, I tried playing the CDs I put in, and it worked lovely (played break on thru by the doors for those interested J ). OK so I left the CD changer in the slot and went out for a couple of hours (not in the car) when I got back to then screw everything back in place and put the tailgate shell thing back on, I noticed there was nothing, I tried playing a CD, but everything went blank, not even Radio! there is no noise, I cant even turn the radio on, there is no error message on the dash board thingy, there is nothing at all so I know the CD changer I bought was fine and worked, but have no clue as to why now the CD nor the Radio some on at all.
Please, please any suggestions? I know very little about cars, it was only the fact this was just seemingly a plug and play fix I attempted it myself, I recently bought a new RF receiver and central locking system which cost me £600. I guess I am just hoping its a blown fuse or something (not that I am good with fuses! But im guessing that would be less costly then a major issue J - )
My name is Frankie, I live in Gidea park, Hornchurch (near Romford) I also commute to North London (Islington) often, and work in Old Street London.
Any help or suggestions would be so much appreciated, and I cant thank you enough for taking the time to help me on this issue.
