ZR6 Radio display panel

[stepbro]

Has anyone had a problem with the radio/CD player display panel disapearing or playing up. I have had the radio changed once for this problem but it is now happening again and the car in now just out of warranty. I was wondering if it was a known fault.

It's not a fault that I have heard of as something common. I've heard of the stock head units playing up with read faults and things like that though. Where are you from? Do you constantly park it so that the display panel gets a lot of sun on it all the time? Otherwise, you may have just been really unlucky to get two faulty units.

Thanks maybe i'm just unlucky as i'm from Melbourne i dont think its the sun !!!! Actually the car spends a lot of time in the garage as i ride bikes most of the time. Looks like i'll just have to live with it, its not all the time its intermittant.

Cheers anyway.

Can't say I have. Worst problem I've had is the Bluetooth hands free is pretty crusty.

Stepbro, YES YES YES. I bought one of the first ZR6's off the lot in 2006 ! It has played up on and off but i never bothered to get it changed out as i am planning to update the HUD to a DIGOPTIONS unit anyway. My unit goes all jumbled up etc. It seems to do it especially on humid days.

my advice is to get a DIG OPTIONS unit anyway.

cheers,

I have the exact problem with my headunit in my 06 sx.

On hot days it goes all funny. Sometimes when i accelerate quickly it'll go all funny too... very weird.

I'm not fussed. Looking into getting the DIG options (or similar) in the next month or so.

my car does this, its because the screen gets too far away from the liquid crystals i assume...

Push the plastic surrounding the screen with as much force as youd push the normal buttons on the radio and you should see it come back on

just thought i might add that i have had a similar problem in my ZR6 but it is the aircon temp display that was flickering....it has only done it one when it was a very hot day and i think it may be the heat that is affected it.
