SOLVED** Radio Coding Help... URGENT PLEASE!!!

Post by AnubisZed » Tue Sep 05, 2017 7:58 pm

PROBLEM SOLVED :thumbsup:

😥 Very angry with myself, just managed to disable the Bluetooth and USB functions of my brand new head unit while trying to change the German voice for an English voice via coding.
Basically it wouldn't code and then all of a sudden the car rebooted itself and the head unit no longer showed Telephone or USB/iPod 😮
Anyone on here able to help? Anyone near by in the Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire area of the UK able to help.
My Mrs is going to go loopy when she finds out I've just messed this up.... Please help, you may be preventing a murder! (photo of what it looked like when I installed it last weekend.) — feeling annoyed.

Probably just wants the unit recoding to match the build code of the car - 10 min job, can you not do it wth whatever kit you fecked it up with? It probably went into sleep/power saving mode whilst you were doing it, which is why I now only code with a battery support unit attached, which supplies up to 50a and keeps the voltage at 13.8 whilst I am working on the car.

I was trying to use NCSExpert, but when I got to "Execute Job" the pop-up in the attachment came up.
While I was checking out the laptop the radio must have rebooted and that's when I noticed that the Bluetooth and USB had vanished.

I'm no expert, as you can probably tell, so I was simply following instructions that seemed to be working fine up to that point. :headbang:

All help on how to rectify this would be greatly appreciated. :thumbsup:
