Answered Oct 23, 2021 (2 years ago)
unfortunately the only fuse i could access was F81 in passenger compartment & this was fine. the listed fuse F15 in rear compartment does not exist although my car does have the start/ stop facility. When the radio comes on after ejecting the CD the channel can be changed by selecting 'scan' from right hand menu, its the main radio power button and selection from left hand menu ( which has taken on a light grey appearance) that are inoperative. So the operation of the audio unit seems OK but lacks the ability to be selected.
Any further thoughts greatly appreciated.
