In an effort to get my CD player to 'shuffle' or 'random' play (I've now read the manual and found out how to do it) I tried pressing the RDS button for a few seconds while the CD was playing.  I got some weird numbers on the display, like 32B001106.2 but the first two (and sometimes three) digits were changing every few seconds.   The engine was off at the time.

Any idea what they might signify?

Hi --- might be an idea to post this is ICE & Electrical. The guys who read that section regularly know their stuff and will be able to help!

Personally ----- not a clue. Sorry  

edit ----- and here it is, as if by magic

The numbers are purley data locations and test information used by people like us for fault finding and diagnostics

Don`t worry yourself by them - and I wouldn`t mess about in these service menus either as some irreversable programming damage can be done if not carefull.

Thanks, Dave

Didn't want to mess with anything - I didn't know I had entered the twilight world of the 'service menu'.  I was intrigued, because I have never come across codes changing so quickly like that.  But I have, in the past, found some useful information (eg on a BMW - confirmation on the dash display of the VIN number) or found different options (changing deg C to deg F) by pressing buttons in an unusual order .  ....but not this time
