Radio/Navigation unit dead
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have a 2002 Boxster S
& after a flat battery I have no power to stereo/nav unit (see picture)
All fuses check out ok but I cant seem to see how to remove unit from dash to check fuse on the rear of the unit?
Can anyone help?

Thankshttp://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1438282663.jpg

On the single DIN they are spring loaded, but on my double DIN I have to take off the two plastic side panels where your black switches are on and a couple of screws on the mounting plate of the stereo then should slide out.

Something like below

Radio Dead
 
I managed to get the unit out & found the 10amp fuse at the rear of the unit had blown
I replaced the fuse but unit still dead?
Nothing on display
Is there a sequence of buttons to press to re-enable it??
I dont even get code message??

Any ideas?

What is the model number of the unit, I myself have never seen that HU, on other PCM units you press 1,4,8 but as yours only has 1 through 6 I doubt that would help ;-)

I don't see how a dead battery would affect power to the HU, I know on other OEM HU with power loss requires putting in the activation code again but in that case you still had power.

Is there a fuse on your amplifier maybe that has blown also?

Sorry I dont know the model number its exactly as the picture but has phone built into the unit as well
It has BOSE amp & speakers so i'll check out amp & see if that has a fuse

But the unit has nothing on the screen so maybe its failed??

Thanks for your help

Regards


Kim
