Radio display not showing radio information

hey,

the same thing happened in my 1995 astra after installing a new sony cd player There is an 'AF' button on the tuner to autotune stations while on the move...when i am playing a cd and hit the af button the display on the dash comes back and there is no change on the display on the cd player - weird alright

Hmm, well, that's a useful (if obvious) tip to know what that button is for. I shall give it a press when I'm next in the car. Ta.

Switch the set off and press and hold the station pre set buttons 4 and 6. The display will scroll thru from Display 10.......Display 8

Some units (Depending whether Philips, VDO or Delco) use station pre set buttons 3 and 5 and even 2 and 4 if the 1st doesn't work

Have you tried pressing the "RDS" button?

When I drove our Astra pool car, it was doing the same, and not re-tuning the station (amazing how you get used to it!).

I found the RDS button, and everything started working.

That's where mine stays anyway, sod the family.

Sod 'em.

I recently found out why radios have tuning knobs - it's so you can find R4 again when you move house.

I should have said you need to turn the set on whilst holding the station pre sets....Sorry

Andy

Of course. Also I find it useful for _very slight_ tuning on long journeys. Why tuning knobs turn so much when they only have to go between 92-95fm seems a waste to me.

Hi Guys

Radio 4, what a bunch of old farts!!

The message from "Steve Sweet" contains these words:

But cultured farts.

Steve Sweet (steve.sweet@ snipped-for-privacy@btopenworld.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Point of order...

I'm a Radio 4 addict and 33. I might be a fart, but not *old*, please.

The message from Adrian contains these words:

And I've never really listened to much else since childhood. I can't have been an old fogey /all/ my life.

Guy King ( snipped-for-privacy@zetnet.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

I didn't grow up listening to R4. SMWBO did, and she's converted me.

I don't even object to the Archers any more...

The message from Adrian contains these words:

Oooooh, noooooo.
