Stereo reset

[mick200gt]

Morning guys if I disconnect the battery will it reset my stereo as the source button is not toggling between functions this morning for some reason ,all ive got is the radio on and bluetooth also seems to be amiss ,its the basic stereo in a 2011 200 gt

Can you not just reset the unit itself?

Press and hold power button or eject.

Which unit do you have?

Not sure which unit it is its just the most common one no sat nav etc but ime not sure how to resett it to see if it solves my problem .

 

[tianorth]

These are the NG4 system

and RT6 system

The RD5 system does seem to show a re-initialisation, but press and long hold of power or eject buttons usually reboot the units.

Yes its the rd5 connect one ,now the source button is working but it wont play from my mem stick or the dab thats connected via input ,but cant seem to find a way to reset the damm thing to see if it will cure it

Can you not just pull the fuse for it?

Quick one guys does anyone know which is the radio fuse damm thing not working again so gunner pull fuse as there does not seem to be a way to reset the srereo unit itself and only the radio is working and nothing else

 

[mick200gt]

Or what about this bsi reset thing do you think that may cure fault

This is for a face lift model (2013).

Cheers tianorth will try this ,mine not a facelift its a 2011 but I imagine it will be same

 

[mick200gt]

Tried pulling the fuse out but it does not reset or clear the srereo it must back itself up direct from battery ,so I will disconnect batt this weekend and see if that helps any

If you want to try a BSI reset :-

Put the driver’s window down, lift the bonnet and ensure all
equipment is switched off.
Ensure all doors are closed and remove key from the
ignition.
Wait for 3 minutes, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait
15 seconds.
Reconnect the vehicle battery, wait a further 10 seconds (do
not open doors.)
Switch on the side lights through the driver's window.
Switch on the ignition and check system’s functionality.
Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds.
remove key open & close door test central locking system
Start the engine and complete the system’s check.
Failure to follow this procedure could result in incorrect operation of many
BSI related items.

Don’t know if it will help but I suppose it’s worth a try if everything else has failed. :eusa-think:

Cheers dk will try that this weekend see if it helps ,nowt worse than silly intermittent faults

That’s strange :eusa-think: it should completely kill it are you sure you got the correct fuse?

 

[mick200gt]

Yeah stereo went off as did clock display but when fuse replaced stereo had kept all its presets etc so I dont think think its resetting it

 

[tianorth]

Have you got an owner's manual?

If not you can view here

Check language in top right and change if necessary.

Yeah ive got a manual but no clues as to why one day source button works and the next it doesnt :evil:

Does the sides near your knees get hot?

If yes then the caps may have come off and blowing hot air into the central console and up to the dashboard and the radio unit then overheats and doesn't operate as it should.

The caps number 8 seem to come off quite easily.
There are 4 ports, it is the ones where number 1 is pointing to, that seem to be blown off particularly when fan is set to high (eg demisting windscreen).

Just pulling the side out and putting your hand up finding the cap and then replacing it will work for a while.

Can be done if you have thin hands, don't mind working blind, and get your hand trapped a few times!!

I took my caps off and replaced with ducting to allow the air flow to the foot well.
