CAVW2 INTERFACE QUESTION

A1
CAVW2 with a RED DOT on the packaging and with only one black wire coming
out of it is the correct piece. This one is compatible all VW MONSOON
systems. We had a few sent out that had two wires coming out of it. One
Yellow and one Black. These units will not work with the MONSOON systems but
will work with NON-MONSOON systems.

Hi

Can anyone help? I'm trying to find out what the error codes mean on an
OEM
Clarion head unit fitted to a Peugeot. I've had a good look in various NGs
with little luck - other than ER6 means the disc is in upside down.

When the CDC634 multichanger is connected, the head unit flashes up ER3 or
ER6 - and on occasions CONNECT. I know the discs are in the right way
round, so I can ignore that a problem. We tried to buy a new multichanger,
but the car audio company who came out couldn't find a changer that would
work with the OEM head unit.

The other symptom is that it sounds like the changer is 'cycling' round
and
round until the plug is pulled and eventually, it'll eject the CD
magazine.
Is this really such a tough problem that the experts seem to say it is?

Any thoughts would be very welcome.

TIA

Steve
