Car radio not working

JR79 · 2012-01-31 10:53:24

Hi, Car radio recently stopped working. The radio channel still comes up but no reception, tried scanning in again but didnt work. Anyone got any ideas what this might be & how much it might cost to repair? Thanks

Sounds similar to what happened to mine - bought a Pioneer stereo in Half*ords - turned out previous wiring from a disc changer the old owner had had tripped something. Halfords sorted for free for me.

If your radio is model Car 300 --will be written on front face--- then the fault of no reception is a common one and repairable.
