Phillips CCR 2006 radio oddity
« on: 22 September 2016, 20:50:56 »

My 2003 2.6 Elite has the Phillips CCR 2006 fitted. Over the last few weeks, when I start the car, and it had previously had the radio mode selected, it starts playing the CD's of its own accord. I can press the tuner button and it changes to the radio, but if I switch off and leave the car, when I return and start the car, it 'defaults' back to the CD's.
It's the original radio for the car from new.
Any thoughts?

Got that radio in my Elite Estate....does its own thing !!!!! I put it down to an electrical connection not quite the biscuit on mine. Sometimes even comes on on its own, sometimes with radio, sometimes CD. :y

Its strange - it never fails to come on, but more often than not, it starts playing the CD's, when the last function used was the radio. That's why I don't think its 'connection' related.

The 2006 do tend to do funnies now and then, good place to start, assuming you know the Code, is to unplug at the back overnight.  :-\

Or you could try switching the power off everytime before turning the Ing. off,

It's probably easier to just touch the tuner button after starting the car rather than switching the unit off before taking the key out and then having to switch the radio back on later!!!

When this subject came up a few years ago I think somebody pointed out that the memory chips used in the CCR2006 have a design life of about 10 years so electronic Alzheimers is setting in now that the youngest units are 13 years old :(

Indeed. Impacts a lot of Philips stuff from that era, including some Siemens (who bought Philips Automotive)

I've had some success blasting the flash with 0's, then 1's, then reprogramming original config back on with similar flash chips in the past.

Is this likely to be why my radio just wont auto tune anymore? I can't even get it to search and hold onto even one channel. Even trying to manually tune it won't pick up the next strongest frequency. It's as though it's now stuck with whatever frequency was stored on each button until it goes out of range  :-[
Also, the tape player seems to be playing about 1/2 an rpm slow - which is just enough to make it painful to listen to  :-X.
CD's are OK though  :D :D :y
So is it toast - or will a 'reset' knock some sense back into it?

Cheers
Ian.
