chewy29 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hi, Newbie and 1st time post... Just had a bluetooth car kit fitted. Successful install - however after re-entering radio code and pressing "5" to save, radio powers/shuts down, then re-starts a few seconds later. Tried entering a random code - got "incorect" message - so I'm confident that the code I'm putting in is the correct one. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix? Installer of bluetooth kit uninstalled & reinstalled, rechecked all connections and confirms everything is as it should be. Help please!! Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewy29 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hi, its a factory fit 6000CD (12 button version / curved) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Has the problem only started since fitting the bluetooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy29 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Yes. I'm having the kit un-installed tonight to check if it makes any difference but I'm guessing the issue is now with the stereo unit itself... Not sure if they can be reset? I've disconnected and reconnected battery following Fords advice but didn't make any difference. Only thing now is I can't change date/time as it won't allow me to put the code in! I've had it confirmed that the code I've got is the correct one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'd have said it was the stereo thats faulty. Id try it without the bluetooth unit and see if the stereo works itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Junkie Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Your missing a live, that's why the unit is shutting down after the correct code is entered. it's either poor fitment on the bluetooth kit providing once kit is removed it's fixed, or possible fault with headunit/wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 You need to check that the battery pass through is attached correctly. If need be, you can run a patch from the original quadlock loom wire past the bluetooth loom insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diagemtas Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 my radio is doing the same but I have not altered anything. The one battery was low which I thought was the problem but have replaced with new battery and the radio still not working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
