Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
I have an astra J with the CD 400 plus system that the USB port recently stopped recognising my USB stick. It happened after it sat at a garage for a while, so the battery probably died at one point. The port does still charge my phone if I plug it in.
The aux cable works OK now, but was occasionally dropping out before causing faults on the radio module (in screenshot).
The PDIM was showing a low voltage error occasionally, and the autel showed 11.3V on that module, with 12.7V at the radio module, but I have tried replacing the module with one from a breakers with no luck.
Occasionally on first ignition switch on, pressing the aux will show "no supported data found" and the scanner shows the PDIM recognises it as a drive, but then won't play anything.
It's the exact same issue with both mine and the breakers module, so unless I got unlucky and got a failed one, it's not that.
Hi,
I'm a newbie on here, so apologies if I do anything I shouldn't.
I have a 2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 SE petrol auto estate.
At the end of last year, I had an after market DAB head unit fitted, (Kenwood DMX-7722DABS head unit, 152546045075 and 152767352231 looms, and a replacement fascia), All bought off the internet, from a company called Vibes Car Audio. I had it professionally installed, by a reputable, popular, and well known supplier/installer in Macclesfield. He encountered an issue early on in the procedure, he rang me to advise me that he was unable to reconnect the time/temperature display, so it worked. We discussed it and decided that on balance, I could probably live without it, so he completed the fitting, and everything else worked OK.
The problem is, that I'm looking at this display more and more for some reason, and it's frustrating that there's nothing to see. So. I'm wondering if there is a mobile auto electrician/fitter that retrofits for this sort of problem, or whether an incorrect loom was supplied initially, and needs replacing.
I have a vague recollection from a number of years ago, of one such chap, I think from the Wirral area, who would retrofit completely, from a CD400 head unit, to a CD500/600 DAB head unit, but I am unable to recall any more details, and indeed, he may not be around doing it now.
I have attempted to attach an image of the display, how successful that is remains to be seen, the first time I tried it wiped out my complete post, and I had to start again.
Thanks in advance for any help/assistance you can provide.

Both of my daytime running lights (the 21W wire on the W21/5W bulbs) are completely dead, both in Auto on and Auto off mode.
The sidelights (the 5W wire) work perfectly on both sides. In the trip computer, the car warns in two stages: "Right sidelight out of order" and "Right daytime running light out of order" (it only warns for the right side even though both daytime running lights are completely out).
The original factory-fitted lights are still in the car. A mechanic has looked at them and confirmed that the bulbs are physically intact. I have also checked fuse 41 myself and switched place with the gray relays (6 and 8) in the engine compartment without result.
Can anyone knowledgeable guide me in the right direction in further troubleshooting?
I recently came into ownership of a 2104 Astra J hatch. It has the dreaded heated seat switching off, which the computer says is high resistance on the pad (B2425-0D). I want to try the repair myself using a guide from here (https://vxoc.org.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=1566). The post lists the part number as 13257326, but my dad looked at his system at motor parts direct and it lists 13451987. An untrained eye thinks they look the same, and one is more expensive than the other. Are there any differences or can I safely buy the cheaper one?

Hi everybody....my first Vauxhall in many years {since my Calibra}and i must say im really impressed vauxhall....grand job...i have just bought a bright yellow Astra Gtc 1.7 cdti and its bloody awesome...AND ITS SUNNY!!!!!!.....PERFECT...
Is 02 sensor located under the car itself and not located within engine bay on my Vauxhall Astra SE CDTi 108 60 plate.
My car is jerking after a while and goes into limp mode (no engine lights) and have reduced revs.
Its been getting worse progressively car is fine on short trips but any more than say 20 minutes it starts especially when car is going uphill and under pressure.
Code shows dpf partially blocked.
Was gonna try use some cleaner directly into the dpf via the o2 sensor.
Car needs a new shock too and handbrake not holding great, dont want to spend loads on it if I cant fix the engine issue which I presume is a blocked dpf.
Is it easy to take the whole dpf off and soak it or am I best off just trying to clean in situ
I have a 2012 GTC that I bought a few months back and had a new head unit professionally fitted. The car doesn't get used much and the (very old) battery went flat. It was jump started a few times with a power pack and there was nothing wromg with the stereo.
Then I fitted a new battery. The stereo was working right up to the battery change. Now it is as dead as a dodo as is the top display and the indicators no longer make a noise.
I have seen that others have had this same problem, but I am yet to see that anyone has fixed it.
Up to this point, I have disconnected the battery for 60 minutes and reconnected it. Tested all fuses in all 3 fuse boxes and scratched my head a lot.
It must be some sort of fuse or problem between the fuse box and the head unit/display.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions please?
