Hi guys looking to replace the CDR2005 in the '03 1.2 SXi Corsa I have just required.

The one installed won't turn on or do anything. I have removed it & checked the fuse on the back  . . .all ok

MID  shows date , time outside temp,  but unit just does nothing when trying  switch on . no code request  . .nothing at all

Purchased this car yesterday  for an absolutely crazy price    so not worried the CD/radio does not seem to work . But called the seller today to confirm my

delight in the car & she said the CD / radio was working fine yesterday   So wondering if it's something silly

Question are :  Anything I have stupidly overlooked    & Can I just get used unit with it's code but without the display  & use the display that is there? 

Battery has not been disconnected


TIA   Al

I had a 2005 in my 2.2 when I first got it, the on button really needed a good hard press. Normal tap did nothing.

OK Tunnie,   will try that

Also noticed from the owners manual that there are severalfuses in the fuse box linked to the radio , so will  check that out later today.

Still need to know if I can just replace the HU  & still use exisiting info display though

Usually down to the tray and The radio not making a great connection if it has been out before

Oh yes ! . . ..   Tunnie is the man !   

 Exactly what he suggested . . .  on /off button needs a real hard push .

 Must be losing my strength as birthdays mount up 

Had to re enter code as I had removed last night to check the fuse  . . but all working A1 now

Top man you are Mark  . . .thanks very much

Nice to see another satisfied Corsa customer.

Has the seat on the drivers entry side, on the side collapsed yet? Never saw a SXi without the problem.

Yep !   so with what  you are saying Varche . . . .it could be difficult to source a used replacement then ?

Will a pair of other model Corsa ,but same year,   seats fit  ?

Also whats the best "Corsa" forum ?

All the SXi's we looked at had that problem. There may well be scrappers about with a decent seat. They are more sporty than the standard seats. You might even be able to undo the stitching and put more padding in or just live with it! I don't know if standard seats are a straight swap. I guess they would be to save factory costs.

Best Corsa forum ? Well it has to be OOF. I am a member of All Corsa and Corsa-C . They don't have as much activity as say OOF probably with Corsas being so reliable. Lots of posts about coilovers, blue tints, debadging. Best have a look for yourself.

I have changed two foams in SXi seats over the years, the later foams have additional strengthening around the metal loops that make up the side raised sections.

Seat removal is easy, cover removal is not to bad, foam removal is a pain in the arse with lots of steel loops to get off and then refit.

Replacement seat or a pair will be my first option . But of course that depends on whats available, if any 

But handy to know they can be repaired
