mickell · 09-03-2014 2:30pm #1

Hi I bought a nissan primastar 2005 last year . The radio , is the standard (renault) radio, however its not evens asking for the code. When I press the power button I can here the cd player firing up and if u hit a button, you hear a beep.....but thats it , there is no prompt to enter the code and nothing displaying on the screen....??? Anyone encounter this before ??? Thanks

Is this a recent problem or was it like this since you bought it?

As iam says, check wiring but I'm afraid from experience with renault radios, if it doesn't work and beeps on buttons, its a gonner:(

I repair these radios and many others on a daily basis and I find Renault radios to be very reliable. Usual fault when display is not working is that water has worked its way along the loom and onto the circuit board. If got in time this fault is repairable.

I'll check it out and let ye know , thanks lads

Do I need a prongs to take the renault radio out, there is a hole in each corner and it seems fairly tight in dash.

Good man , the yellow plug was indeed out , I input the code and the raio works......in one speaker only ! ?.?
Also the radio stays lit up after keys taken out , just the buttoms , this as always being the case.

You could check Balance and Fader settings which might get other speakers to work.
