Head Unit problem

Geraint · 23rd July 2014, 14:00

Hi all

My head unit failed to load and after many tries and took it to Jeff in Clacton by appointment. Within 30 mins all solved and now working fine - Jeff is an old fashion type craftsman that used to be everywhere, but unfortunately are now far and few between (anyone tried PC World with a computer problem).

Through the forum - thanks again Jeff for your service and welcome.

On a side note, the journey, with a few short runs afterwards in London, was 226 miles, mostly on cruise control at 70 & 50 mph (speed restrictions on the M25) and filled up to day with 21.61 litres - very pleasing for cdti manual

What was the problem ?

Just stuck on Android flashing and that was it - this was after the ignition was turned off and on without the unit closing down -stalled in traffic and slight panic moment.

I tried to load the software but no go. May have been that's the the software which I loaded onto an sd card was in a file and not the root system on the card - please do not ask me to explain that it what Jeff said, but even so Jeff's fingers were to quick for me to follow as he re-installed the system.

When I left him he had doubled checked all was fine and due to time constraints I refitted the unit myself the next day - pictures taken on my iPad to ensure all was the same as original.
