Can’t remember the name of the guy/company who fixes these. Mine has become inconsistent in that sometimes I have sound sometimes not. When I get sound it works perfect. If no sound if I switch radio or ignition on/off a few times it comes back but it’s getting more difficult. The DSP always has power and always has ignition power to the white wire on the large DSP plug. So I assume the fault is internal. Looking for used ones on eBay or Amazon they are quite expensive at £100/£150 for a 20 year old component. If mine could be refurbished for similar money then I’d rather go that route.

The one in Surrey is the right one (I think).

Typical, it’s been trouble free since I whinged on here. Long may it last. Can moaning on here be classed as a way to fix things :D
