focus2011 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 sorry I put this problem on the wrong section (new member)silly me before I start I would like to wish all members happy Christmas and new year strange one( has anyone experienced this ?) I own a 2011 mk3 zetec first thing when opening any door I get a popping noise coming through the Speakers approx eight times no radio on at this time after time it stops( problem seems to happen when car is cold) thinking on the lines of a faulty speaker I changed them and checked wiring to both Speakers and head unit but no the same problem is there my next port of call is the head unit (possible internal fault) I guess audio stuff goes through the unit? I have looked around and ford want silly money and breakers are reluctant to have returns I have been told that if the engineering number and radio spec (DAB etc) it should be a straight swop and connections on the rear are the same my biggest worry with replacement is loosing my rear parking sensor display on radio MFD I have been told (not sure its true)that if I have to change the radio MFD (if head unit don't cure problem)it has to be programmed into the car by ford please help mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 If you change the head unit/ MFD with the same spec unit (e.g. sat nav, DAB, Sync, Sony) then there should be no reprogramming required. If you get it from the same model of car (including facelifts) then should also be straight swap with the connectors bwing identical. If for some reason it does need setting up again (like if the DAB doesn't show up) then you can use Forscan or FoCCCus to reactivate it yourself with an ELM327 adapter.
