I have retro fitted CCRT700 into MV6 by modifying a TM loom.

Got some problems though.

Tuner - first use, constantly scanning for channels. Fine once I've pressed a preset until next time I turn it on.

Phone - no volume control.

General - No SDVC

General - No diagnostics

Any ideas?

from experience.

The phone volume only allows adjustment when in a call,(actually connected to the caller not just dialling) using either the rotary or the steering wheel remote.

When you say no SDVC do you mean the option is not there under the extras menu or that it doesn't work.

As for the tuner problem I remember someone quite recently posting the same fault.

Diagnostics - didn't know there were any.

Yes, in a call, no volume control, either via steering wheel or volume knob.

SDVC - option there, set to 5, but no automatic volume adjustment

i'll do a search for the tuner

From manual :

During a call.

As soon as you are connected to the called number the set automatically enters the volume menu.

Does yours show the word volume at the bottom of the screen during a call ?

Edit : in the Extras menu what is the call vol set to ? mine is set to +3

[jules]

Does it have 'current presets' EG programmed for the area you are in or is it looking for presets in the area you bought it from ?

Just leave it till it's finished doing its own thing.

The problem is the stereo is an old one, i have a prob with my vol control on the radio its self, doesnt do anything but the steering wheel works ok tho, the tuner sounds like its sticking,  try cleaning the tuning button out as much as you can, blast a bit of air in there. thats all from the BBM

Yes, once in call, it defaults to volume, but adjustments make no difference.

local presets. Pressing them produces the expected station, and radio then fine until next time its on.

That's me out of ideas then. In normal circumstances that's what you do though. I'd be asking Dave DND.      

[Dave DND]

I`d be looking towards a dud aerial not providing a strong enough signal for the head unit to register the stations

Try a piece of wire in the rear aerial socket and see if any different?

Not keen on taking out again, unless absolutely necessary - its a bugger to get in.

FM stations normally borderline in my area are coming through remarkable clear, which leaves me thinking the aerial is OK?  All presets programmed in are very clear as well  :-/

[Dave DND]

Hmmm. . . . . Stumped !

The tuner usually searches when first switched on to update the pty and RDS information for the stations stored.

If FM is good, and all memory feeds are connected, I`d be inclined to run it for a week or so and then see what it is like after that - could be an eronous bit of data not yet loaded ?

[jules]

Just had a thought, do you have traffic switched on and does your usual radio station provide EON information ? If not the unit could be searching for a station providing EON/Traffic info ?
