Title: 7000 STEREO WONT TURN OFF!
Post by REDRDLC on Dec 8^th, 2007, 2:09pm

Hi all,
I got a replacement 7000 head unit as my old one had a constant blank screen which was no good for putting the code back in because i couldn't see it!
Unfortunately this one seems a bit dodgy too as when the unit is turned off or the ignition is off the screen stays illuminated,as i found out when the battery went flat!
Do any of you guys know if it is fixable or do i have to get another unit from somewhere?
Paul.

why dont you put the good screen in the old radio?

all you need is a T9 and T6 torx bit

Old radio despatched to the tip a few months earlier after it lost a fight with a big hammer on a rainy Sunday ::)
Been using a dvd stereo i have since but does not work with cd changer or steering remote so wanted the standard one back in.
Anyone got a cheap 7000 with a good screen for spares?

You just reminded me,i have a 5000 in black that i got to try but it doesn't fit in the hole. ???
I tried forcing it in but it wasn't having it,don't know why as it seems the same size.7000 slips straight in ???

has the 5000 got the white guide clip on the back of the radio in the right place? it can be fitted either way round
