Symphony II Dead - Reset or Repair

[psampson]

I took the wifes A2 to work this morning, and found that the radio/CD wasn't working. The display lights up, but there is no CODE, BOSE, radio/CD info or sound. The CD won't eject any disks either. It's quite plainly dead, although has power to it.

A touch worrying is that when I locked the car, the illumination for the radio was still on. Anyone had anything similar? Can the radio be reset by holding down a number of different buttons or is it back to the dealership?

Cheers,
Paul.

I would suggest pulling it out of the dash, pull out all the plugs in the back and then leave it sitting for a while, then plug everything back in.

Bye, Frido.

frido-wouldn't pulling the fuse do the same job (and be easier)?.

I never got round to looking for the A2's fuses so it may not be easy!.

@runboy: You are right, that WOULD be easier..
The fuses are located near the left knee of the driver on LHD models, so I presume they are near the driver´s right knee on RHD versions....

Bye, Frido.

Bingo! Pulled the fuse, whirring sound from the CD player, push fuse back in and all was working again. No need to code the radio either.

Now trying to locate the right fuse was a bit tricker, until I looked more carefully at the fuse layout and found that fuse #1 is in the bottom right hand corner of the fuse box. Those clever chaps at Audi, eh?

Thanks,
Paul.

So Paul, you weren't standing on your head whilst pulling the fuse-then it would have been in the logical place.

Tut tut, when will these Audi novices learn that all things Audi are weird!!!!

Doesn't surprise me at all. Although well built, they do have a couple of weird ideas at times...
