Just wondering if anyone out there in Melbourne that has their OEM radio sitting around and is kind enough to lend it to me to test rather my radio is fried...

symptoms - binking LCD (the one that shows time, temp etc), whole faceplate not working except hazard light.

I have pulled my radio out and checked if the contacts between my faceplate and radio is aligned and yes it is indeed aligned.. checked all wiring to be secure.. so i am only guessing is the faceplate with the circuit board is fried but i dont want to buy a new one until i am sure is my faceplate ... Mazda Aust wants $8xx for the face plate T_T

so if anyone out there is kind enough pls leave a msg ...

thank you ~~~

 

Mate, happy for you to come and take mine out and test what you want.

Cheers

Andrew

 

thanks Andrew, i will give u a buzz on the weekend ^-^

 

If your whole faceplate isn't working (climate control, head unit etc.) then it could be something a bit more serious than the unit itself.

I've been told of a similar issue with a Mazda 6 where the problem turned out to be related to the ECU. Have you taken it to Mazda to get a diagnosis?

 

strangely my HU is working again -..-" ... no i havent check with Mazda yet for some reason with this forum and all the feed back they are my last resort.. haha
