Hi there Chris, welcome aboard

Feel free to bug away

[dave406]

Thanks for the welcome. I have been having some issue accessing the site getting the following error

My first question is really that some time when i turn the ignition on i get some beeps in real quick concession any ideas?

[GingerMagic]

Hi mate, I had issues too but seem to have sorted themselves out now.

When you get the beeps ( 3 beeps? ) does something come up on the display panel, above the heater control panel?

[dave406]

Nope nothing in its really quick beeps

[steve_earwig]

Thanks for hanging in there Chris, as you've probably seen the site had some major issues over the weekend, that must have been quite off putting for a newbie

Does the car still have the original radio? Any other after market electronic goodies?

[dave406]

The car is completely standard as it has a CD changed I haven't ripped the HU out. It has cobra alarm stickers on the window but as my remote does not work i'm using the key to open the doors. Its also not everytime
