Stereo help - Daz21 - 23:rd-Mar-2016

Hi I have changed my stereo to the m072 but not the buttons for the stereo just stopped working.
They were lit up and working then just stopped could it be a fuse ? If where to many thanks.


RE: Stereo help - sheppy1 - 23:rd-Mar-2016

So did they work even when everything was back together and then suddenly stop? I messaged you to say that the cables could have been unplugged (I did this myself) but obviously if they were working one min and then stopped the next that can't be the issue

RE: Stereo help - Daz21 - 23:rd-Mar-2016

Hi yes we're working then shut car off then back on then nothing I checked the cable is plugged in the back of unit really need this sorted doing my head in.

RE: Stereo help - sheppy1 - 23:rd-Mar-2016

Your Inbox is full mate

Hmmmm I really have no idea what the issue could be! All I could suggest is checking that big block that you plugged the big fat cable into and also checking all your connections are secure... There's no reason I know of that this would happen other than a loose connection (one of the ones you connected to the unit or the ones behind the controls themselves) sorry I can't be of further help!

Well it won't light up and work without key in ignition I found out ?

RE: Stereo help - sheppy1 - 23:rd-Mar-2016

Well that's very odd! Mine isn't like that... Does the new head unit work at all without the key in? Bearing in mind it will auto turn off like 5 mins after the key is removed or when the door is opened after the key is removed

No it won't turn on at all with out the key in - With key in all works fine - take key out stays on till you open the door. is this a fault or not ?

RE: Stereo help - sheppy1 - 24:th-Mar-2016

The fact that it goes off when you take the key out and open the door is by design. Can't say I've ever tried to turn it on without the key in but I'll test that later

I still don't understand why the buttons won't light up until key is in tho. Let me know if yours is the same or won't work without key. ?

RE: Stereo help - mrtc - 24:th-Mar-2016

did you fit it yourself, if so if it was me id take it out, leave it 30 mins and refit

RE: Stereo help - sheppy1 - 24:th-Mar-2016

Yeah that is odd! I'm sure all my buttons light up regardless but unsure about how the actual screen itself functions with no key in...

On mine the buttons stop working once the ignition is switched off. The light go off as well. Sounds like normal behaviour. It's a bit embarrassing opening the door to exit when the music is cranked up.

I've noted that you can turn down the volume with the remove when the ignition off and you are about to exit the car.

Hi all I have new prob the windows are wrong way around if I open drivers window it shows the passengers window open anyone know where to setting is for this thanks.

RE: Stereo help - sheppy1 - 24:th-Mar-2016

There's a secret menu you can get too from typing a code in the phone app screen... Will dig it out for you... In there there's an option for left and right hand drive...

dont forget us lol, as soon as i get an astra i will totally get this unit

RE: Stereo help - Daz21 - 24:th-Mar-2016

Hi did that but Windows still the wrong way around ??

RE: Stereo help - sheppy1 - 24:th-Mar-2016

Hahaha I don't forget anyone You're gonna love it! Mine still perfect and working like a charm!

RE: Stereo help - Daz21 - 24:th-Mar-2016

Thanks @sheppy1 so no idea how to change it then. Must say tho the unit is really good just got to sort these little things out.

RE: Stereo help - sheppy1 - 24:th-Mar-2016

What do you mean mate? You change it via the hidden screen accessed via that code.
Oh and i took my key out and my controls also didn't light up but the ones for the blowers did...not that I'd ever want them to be on with the key out but yeah...seems to be the same as you

RE: Stereo help - Daz21 - 24:th-Mar-2016

Well at least it's the same power wise. What I meant was on the car settings were it shows tyre pressure and fuel brake stuff if you have the screen showing the windows open/closed if you open the drivers window it states the passenger one is so ie wrong side. I have changed in menu that you said.

RE: Stereo help - sheppy1 - 24:th-Mar-2016

Ahhhh yes! Most of the info on that screen is wrong or in the wrong format tbh... I asked the guy who sells them about it and he even spoke to the people who make it and they said there's nothing that can be done lol.

If you know android well you could probably root the system and tinker with the files to get it right but I cba as I'm happy with it working as is [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

RE: Stereo help - Daz21 - 24:th-Mar-2016

Yeah I guess I could root into it but I'm going to leave it as it is it's a good unit - just wanna say thanks for all the help

RE: Stereo help - sheppy1 - 24:th-Mar-2016

You're more than welcome you know where i am should you need further help...I guarantee I've either experienced every issue you'll come across and have fixed it or be aware of it, have informed icebox autos and been given an answer from him that it can't be fixed lol

RE: Stereo help - Daz21 - 24:th-Mar-2016

Done silver conversion
Done stereo and rear camera
Done alloy peddles

RE: Stereo help - sheppy1 - 24:th-Mar-2016

Hahahaha I'm the same mate! Approaching my 40th mod and I'm out of ideas now except pricey stuff like custom exhaust etc.

RE: Stereo help - Daz21 - 24:th-Mar-2016

Well was going for the speedo to be changed but no luck so far then the led conversion so will have to keep an eye on what's new or what can be done

RE: Stereo help - sheppy1 - 24:th-Mar-2016

Aye! Best bet is to go through all the tutorials on here and see what you can find and also check everyone's progress threads... Found some cool things doing that [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
