Nokia hands free and VDO head unit...

Richard Garner · 12th January 2011, 15:56

When I bought my zt-t last summer I noticed that the Nokia CK-7W hands free was both annoying and didn't work very well and the vdo head unit lacked oomph. So a few weeks ago I took out the head unit and disconnected the hands free and plugged in a head unit of mine which i know works and gives a good amount of sound quality.

Trouble is the head unit worked but the changer was getting no power (wouldn't eject the cartridge) and the steering wheel controls didn't work...

So, vdo unit back in and still no power to the changer, but with both the hands free and vdo unit re-united the changer got power. But the radio code i got with the car's paper work, isn't for the head unit that came with the car... It's a 2005 car so the vdo unit matches the cars age.

Just wondering if anybody else has had any issues similar to this...
