Hi all,
Have a bit of a strange issue, it's been ongoing for a few years and I haven't been able to find any reports of an exact similar case, so unsure where to start.
Car is a T6 R-Design with the full premium sound system, even has the sub in the boot.
We purchased the car a few years ago, and everything was fine. Several months later we did a TFT retrofit and the 2014+ shifter retrofit, so we pulled the waterfall out etc, and after we were done, put it all back together and everything worked... Except the radio.
So this only applies specifically to the AM/FM radio. The sound still works fine through bluetooth phone and audio, CD audio works, the navigation works, basically the entire Sensus system is working perfectly, but when you press the AM/FM buttons on the dash, it shows up the icon on the screen for a few seconds, but it wont actually go into the radio 'application', and it just reverts back to wherever you were (Bluetooth, Nav etc).
We have noted the 'radio' runs on its own fuse, and we have checked and replaced this, no change. The car also has a new battery, no change. Tried all manners of different batteries, leaving the battery out, lock and unlock cycles etc, nothing fixes it. We've also removed the waterfall and radio unit, checked all connections, no change.
Our best guess is the radio/cd drive module behind the dash is dead, possibly didn't like been messed with when we removed the waterfall all those years ago.
However before replacing the unit, we wanted to get some idea to see if anyone else has experienced this issue, and has had it repaired?
Our strategy is to either remove the current module and have it reconditioned by an electronics repairer.
Or, replace the unit with a secondhand one from another XC60, copy the software over from this one and unlock MOST with VDASH.
It was never an issue for me as I just used bluetooth all the time, didn't care for AM/FM radio, however the car has now been passed onto a family member who would like the radio function to work again, so just trying to pinpoint the most likely cause and solution so it doesn't become an endless money pit.
Cheers
