Assuming this is a new laser, have you cut the soldered bridge on the ribbon cable off?

should I

YES!

Its a small, but obvious, solder bridge within the ribbon cable

That's what happens when I only like spanners(don't do electric most of the time) a pic will help me out here

Stole the pic off the T'interweb, if you look near the connector end of the ribbon you will see a link across a cut out area that can be snipped out.

Thank you all, I will get onto that this week on my rest days, I hope I have not done any damage by leaving it in place and trying to use it in the car ?

I believe it's a grounding link to stop static damaging the components during shipping. Certainly done the same as you previously with no damage sustained.

So took the head unit out off the car this afternoon and cut the little bridge out off the ribbon. Put it all back in the car and insert disc for it to do nothing, would not even eject the disc.

So out it all came again and removed disc with head unit apart.

Now me thinks I'm going to check if I have the other lead so I can fit the other 2013 and CID unit in, yes, it's there and CID and head unit now in.

BUT, the Sat-Nav is now working so is the radio(keeps flashing up radio safe when I'm on the settings screen) but the CDC will not keep the disc holder in. Does this mean a good CDC needs fitting ?

Any help with the above please, oh and the Bose needs turning off

Yes you could fix it that way - by fitting a working CDC. If the display safe is coming up the head unit and screen aren't paired though.

Not paired bugger that's the pair that came out of the saloon elite I have for parts. Thing is I have not got the car pass for that car and if he has put them together at some point it will not know were they are from.

Is there anyway they can be paired to the MV6 at all as I have the codes for that. The thing that gets men is that the radio works fine, it only put up radio safe when on Sat-Nav

NOT Display safe but Radio safe. the radio works fine so does the sat nav, but when setting sat nav Radio safe comes up about every 5 sec's

I reckon that may be radio is depaired, but screen isn't. Which is a tad inconvenient.

[joff]

Only one way to find out then

[joff]

Big big thank you to Jamie for his work this morning, I now have a fully working NCDC2013 with CID in the MV6. With a big thanks to the good lady for the coffee

So was it a Tech2 Job 

[joff]

So was it a Tech2 Job 

The head unit had dropped it's code, but was a pair with the CID, so a case of find the code from head unit pair them together and then reset to code for my car, easy he says yes I said if your the boy.

So yes Tech2 job

I hate it when I'm right

However, gave me an opportunity to try my new clip for my programmer   (which I'd forgotten I'd bought, so had resigned myself to soldering the wires on )


Good to see you again Joff, glad we got there in the end
