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.
