Ifound out what was wrong with the radio in the end,
chap at car audio repair shop as just rang me,
he says the ribbon cable from the board to the main screen is faulty,

iguess its flooked then :( shame tho as this thing does everything not much use tho when screen goes iffy,

iwill order anew one, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/G2223E-Milion ... 27c5a9b419

eveything else seems to be around 300 quid with a brand name

Looks alright cheap enough as well is there no way of getting the other stereo repaired at all

not sure tbh mate,
he just said its the ribbon cable thats faulty, he was abit vague with details, he most probs carnt be arsed trying to source a cable as its a chineese import
if it was kenwood or sony he wouid of been fixing it no doubt
