The head unit does that if you try to fit one that was from another car without coding it via PP2000. I have no idea how it's doing it just by fiddling with it though.....

I've just read lozz's reply on immobiliser faults in elec sec, If only I'd know this power down routeen before I'd dissconected the BATTERY

Your gonna need someone with pp2000 to reset the immobiliser,you will need the 4 digit pin code aswell,if youre lucky it'll be on a credit card sized card in the inner cover of the handbook wallet or the main delaer can give you it for a price,i learnt all this by experience making the same mistake you did.

Thanks dude, Fourtunatly I have the credit card with pin code ( the joys of a one owner car ) Just need to find someone with pp2000 or take the plunge & buy it myself which I was planing to do just not yet due to lack of funds!

I found an auto electrician who came to my house and reset it,it cost £40 but as I couldn't get the car anywhere to get it done I had no choice.

Hi Mark,
Do you have any info on how to code it using pp2000 because I now have this & it's up 'n' runing.
So far been sucsessfull with sortting imobillizer ect so the car is all back to how it was before I dissconected the battery
But the bloody beeping is still there, have done a global test & a fault comes up with the radio, It say that the wrong ecu / car details have been imputted & that the radio is for a 307 ? .
So I am gessing that the radio must have been replaced at some point in it's life, Do you now what I need to do to get this to work in my car again! bearing in mind that all was fine & I do not know why this prob started to happen ?
Many thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed on this Paul

I've only done it the once Paul to my own car when I replaced the head unit....and that was a while ago.
I'll have to plug in PP2000 to the car to refresh my memory before I dole out duff information! Won't be today though mate so bear with!

[dirtydirtydiesel]

Thanks Mark,
Any help will be gratfully received, just somthing to think over .
I think I have managed to re-configure the stereo because I got it to play without beeping but when we used the car the next time after being left in the car park for a couple of hours when we turned the stereo back on it started beeping again , So I take it from that that some electrical tomfoolery is afoot causing it to loose power / memory?
Sound possible?
Cheers for you help & info Bud Paul.

[markw]

That sounds more like a fault than a configuring problem Paul and may explain why it went belly up in the first place. The car's VIN is stored in flash memory so shouldn't be lost when/if power is lost.
I'll still look at PP but sounds less promising now...
