Type C display issue

Post by grasmere59 »

I managed to buy a mint Type C display for my 53 plate 406 exec estate,i fitted it and no missing lines or pixels!!........but i have now lost use of the CD multichanger and the remote volume control from the r/h column stalk,any ideas?? Put the old Type C back in and everything works fine again. :?

It's a common issue.

The replacement type C is from a semi mux car and it is 'wired' whereas the newer fully mux are 'can bus' or something...

If you have access to PP2K then the MFD can be reconfigured to a full mux car, takes 5 mins.

You could send it to someone with a full mux car and PP2K - they can reconfigure it then post it back to you.
Just a thought.
