Hi all,
I seem to be having problems with the stereo in my car. It is a ford 6000 CD stereo unit. I can play CDS on the unit fine.. but suddenly it won't pick up any radio stations anymore.. also my preset buttoned stations will not work, tries to search for stations when i press the button(s).
I have tried using another aerial from another focus, but it made not difference, infact it made no difference with or without a aerial.
The only other thinkg i can think of other than the fault being in the stereo unit itself is the wiring going upto the aerial on the roof of the car.
Is it possible for the radio fuction on stereo to malfunction?? What other things can i check without having to buy another stereo for the car?
Thanks in advance guys.
 
It is strange... but from a cold start it seems to work okay.. but after driving for a while the reception goes. However i have found that if I remove the removal facia part and the blow and shake it for a bit and then put i back on it seems to start working for a while longer (gets radio reception).

Playing a CD works flawlessly continiously.. so it seems quite strange to me.. any ideas anyone?
