2001 Elite bose NCDC 2013 with sat nav, I go to the pub last night, leave the sound system off while i have chatty passengers, on the screen is the screen saver if you will, date time and the bose logo, all's well! i get in the car to come home, leaving stereo off, drop passengers off on way then go to turn on stereo but notice the screen is completely turned off :-/ So when i actually turn the unit on, it just comes on to the radio, and i can adjust the volume, also i can adjust the volume using the steering wheel controls but i cant do anything else AT ALL with it, cant change station, cant change to CD, cant use sat nav and cant view computer stuff like trip distance and MPG stuff. Also i cant eject the sat nav disc and changer cartridge
any ideas at all? would love it to be just a blown fuse...
-
reseat the unit and see if that clears your troubles! you will need the code!

tragically i have no car pass

Have you checked for blown fuses?
-
Pull the radio fuse and re-insert it.
No code required on the satnav setups asthey are coded to the display
It sounds like the radio is in safe mode so it could also be a bad connection on the display or radio.
-
Could you tell me which fuse it is please? (sorry, i really am rubbish)
the car is at the garage (another story) but i can nip down and faff with it anyway

I had exactly this same problem about 6 weeks ago (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1205963182). In my case it was not a fuse but a faulty traffic master system or it wiring / link lead. A trip to The Boy and his tech2 showed no connection to the rest of the car and as such no display to the screen etc. I have also heard of this happening due to the connection at the back of the radio / cage and a removal / reinsertion of the radio can sometimes solve it, no code is needed if the radio is removed on the 2013. I am still traumatised by having to listen to radio oxford for 3 weeks and can fully appreciate your frustration!!
-
mine's currently stuck on radio 1 at the moment which i dont mind, havent been down to the car yet to have a faff!
my screen doesnt even come on though like yours still did
-
AIRC there may be two fuses on the back of the radio itself.
However this is not much use to you until you acertain the radio code because removing the radio will invariably (unless you're a jammy b and the code is disabled) invoke the safe mechanism
Also, turn the unit off, then hold down the clear button and turn the unit back on, this might reset it to factory defaults (does on the CCRT700)

being a sat nav unit, it doesnt need a code, refer to previous posts

Hiya new to the forum, I've got the same problem with my 2013 screen? Has it been sorted yet?
-
Don't know whether this will help or not, but I have a 2001 Elite with bose NCDC 2013 and sat nav along with a color information display (CID). The CID is currently disconnected and removed for repair. With the screen disconnected I have exactly the symptoms that you have described, ie cant change station, no CD etc etc
This would lead me to surmise that your problem is a disconnexion either at the radio or screen end (grey plug on rear of screen not seated?) rather than a blown fuse.
-
so its possible i may just need to re-seat the radio unit? i havent been able to get down to my car cos i've been a bit busy tho so its not yet sorted
how could it have disconnected itself though? it's been fine all along then suddenly i get in it and its not working
-
Ok, think I need to explain this a little better!
I am NOT sudgesting that a fuse is blown.
What I am saying is that the screen and radio appear to only talk codes when first powered up so if for some reason the code in non-volatile has become corrupt, it needs the power cycling to get them to re-communicate.
The no function operation is due to the radio and display having not verified they both have the same code.
-
thank you for all your replies, I went to the garage on friday to collect my car so i could begin faffing with the radio, they'd left the ignition in the ON position and flattened the battery!!
upon charging enough for me to start it, i turn the key and lo and behold the screen comes on fine, and all functions resumed as per correctly!!
had the battery not been flattened i think removing then replacing the main unit would have also been sufficient to cure the problem!!
-
so did you not have to type in your code?
because I have the exact same problem
radio works can change station using left and right buttons plus can change volume but thats it, no other buttons are working.

YES ITS WORKING AGAIN, just take out the fuse and put it back in.
honestly I dont know how you knew that but thank you.
-
i couldnt even change the station with the left/right buttons!
because it's paired properly with its computer, a code wasnt necessary, which is good because i dont seem to have the car pass!
good to know yours is working again too :y
