Multifunction display on Vectra

[Sean (archive)]

Hi all have a vauxhall vectra 2.9L LS - R REG

Just bought the car, had the multifunction display changed, eveything works fine, when radio is on, i can see the time, temp and radio station. but when i turn the radio off i should see the time, temp and date (where radio station is usually displayed), but on mine all it says is "program", does anyone know why? i can program the date in, but it doesnt display any help would be much appreciated

Thanks Sean

It needs the correct code index putting in. Dealer job I'm afraid. Did a dealer fit it for you?

make sure the back connector is mating properly on all pins. look for a splayed receptor on one of the pins. it sounds like the 'back-up' power feed line is open circuit. either that or the exchange(?) display is faulty.

when i went to a scrappy to get one for my r reg sintra. the first one i tried did the same.

we found one of the receptor was rusted away, got another while at the scrappy, all was fine. thank god i tried it b4 i went away!

It has to be programmed by a dealer
