Default XF Stereo refuses to play

My Standard fit stereo now wont play or work,
simply comes up with "Chrysler" in the display, and that's it even after 30 minutes ???

Any ideas whats upset it ?

It gets to play a wide variety of CD's, so it's not my musical taste pissing it off :-)

regards
Grant

If it can display "Chrysler", then it's an internal radio issue, replacement or aftermarket time.
You probably wanted to upgrade to bluetooth or MP3 anyway- that's what it is telling you.
( Look for Marine units - the silver in some of those almost matches ... )
Make sure you get a unit with 4v pre-amp outputs .....

I put a Donny Osmond CD into it today, and it's happy now and works again, or maybe the threat of
Des O'Connor made it relent and work again... ha ha

Just needed some puppy love did it! Hopefully you aren't forced into it daily!

Mine seems to do this also, if I switch the Radio off, then the ignition to "off" then switch it back to the "on" then usually the Radio comes good.. I don't know why it happens??

Guys,
Ive worked out why these things go wrong on cars mechanically and electrically ......

it's simple really . . . . .The Engine God hates us..... well, me any way !!!
the Chinese seam to have a God for each thing in their lives, maybe there is a motoring God, and we do NOT please him by bringing Hyundai cars into existance ????



ALSO
and I heard a unique theory re all things electrical that fail...

IE if you get a wire burnout !!!

it turns out that all this Amps x Volts = Watts theory, is a load of bollox.....

We're all wrong....and have been for many decades.....
I'm reliably told that its all to do with the insulation of a piece of wire and it's ability to keep the smoke in...
If the insulation fails on a bit of wire... the smoke escapes..... more wire, more insulation and ... hey-presto, the smoke cannot escape and the device keeps working...
Keep the smoke contained and we're all ok for ever more !!!!

The worst part about theory's is that not all of them a true, but don't give up a good theory just cos it aint true......

have a great day gents.

Grant B
