Radio dead?
Anybody had this appear on their screen? This is after I have inputed the code aswell
Re: Radio dead?
Only after disconnecting the power to the RNS-D.
Did you press OK?

Re: Radio dead?
Possibly lost the constant +12v supply required on the "SAFE" wire?
Re: Radio dead?
Oh, it's saying that it's not the right pin.

Re: Radio dead?
Yeah. There was someone who had the same problem a few months back. Turned out to be a dodgy SAFE wire IIRC.

Re: Radio dead?
Well if you use Google translate SAFE Pin nicht angeschlossen means SAFE Pin not closed (connected).

Re: Radio dead?
Aye, it just went to the code screen for no reason, had driven it and stopped for a bit, then on restart the stereo went to code, nothing happened for the cable to lose its connection
I stuck it on charge thinking battery may have been low but it’s still the same
Cheers lads, I’ll get a better look at it then

Re: Radio dead?
Ok, slight delayed reaction but just getting round to looking into this now
Going from ChrisA post on this previously, i assumed it would be the joint under the carpet as he found, but when i removed the seat and had a look under, there was no obvious issues there, some slight oxidisation but not near the actual joint, strange
So i ordered some stereo removal tools and pulled that today, checked U+ and the SAFE pins, both are receiving 11.6v so voltage seems fine, or does it need a true 12v? Any other problems i should look into, why would unit go into safe mode with power and code, do they have a habit of dying like this? Im fine with a normal car stereo (live, ign live etc) but not sure whats needed with the exemplary Audi box of tricks
I have a Sony DD if needed, but i'd rather keep the old piece of <beep> if i can, just fits in with the oem theme and i also have updated digital TV etc so just rather keep it really for convenience

Re: Radio dead?
11.6 is close enough. Were you able to put the code in?

Re: Radio dead?
Thats what i was thinking, any lower than 7v i'd be concerned but should be fine with that power
So ive just tried the code again, i get the exact same message as in the first post with pic, to check i tried a wrong code and the unit has now locked, typical
So it seems i have voltage at both pins i need, but the unit is still telling me the safe pin is not connected, could it be faulty RNS or is there anything else i can look at?
Re: Radio dead?
Could be a faulty RNS-D - can't rule it out, but I would pull it out and put it on the bench with a known good supply to be sure.

Re: Radio dead?
Exactly what i intend to do today, but not sure whats needed to bench test it
Will it just be neg, U+ with 12v and SAFE with 12v, nothing else needed, is there any canbus connections etc?
Re: Radio dead?
Yeah, that should be enough to unlock it.
