help please. vauxhall cd30 volume prob!

evening..

i've done some googling and found nothing but wondered if anyone has had this problem??

I was driving home tonight and the volume on my cd30 sterio went mad (max volume) needless to say it scared the **** out of me. I turned it off and on again and it now has 2 volumes, off and stupidly loud. i though it may have over heated but my drive was over 3 hours i left it too cool but it still did it when i got home.

my guess is its dead but i could really do without having to replace it at the moment!

any ideas?

yeah this is what i was thinking. i've looked on the bay but from what i've read they are coded to the car, so would have no idea how i'd get a code for it?

why is nothing ever easy.

cant see me getting much done at work tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the info mate.

yeah i might give that a go. it might not be a much of a pain as i first thought then.

Well i'm not as mad as i was when i got in anyway.

nice one mate you're a star.

no need for any of it now.

Got in my car this morning and its all fixed!! very odd but i'm not going to agrue.

fringers crossed it stays fixed.

if it happens again i think i'll go the aftermarket route but i know what i'm like, if i'm doing that it'd have to be a really good one. mucho £'s

Thanks for all the help though guys.

mines not a VXR? not sure where you got that from?

Anyway it broke again on the way home. so have gone down the aftermarket route. i've got a facia that matched the colour of the dash and its looking very nice.

i've lost the rds display on the little orange lcd in the dash and the unitl wont dim when i put the lights on, but it still shows time, outside temp and now date where track or station was so i'm happy.

my new cd player has a connection for my iphone and bluetooth hands free too. cool!

haha, oops sorry my bad!

wish it was an astra VXR though, thats a sexy car!

paulh · 19 Oct 2009 at 22:11

ah already checked, you can do it with the buttons under the display.

cheers. gutted the old one worked on the way to work and died again on the way home though. oh well i've got a new toy to play with.
