opened up the front console today.

my radio still doesn't work. no idea why.

and i can only have the air blowing in my face coz no other setting works. any other setting results in funny noises but no change. no idea why.

did the nav hack... it didn't work. no idea why.

EDIT: Fixed the radio.
First symptoms - where much like what other people have said, when a speaker needs replacing the sound cuts in and out intermittently. It also had a buzzing sound from the sub when the car was running (much like a bad earth connection would give. Then one day the radio just stopped.
Failed attempt - to fix it when i pulled the HU out and checked the plugs and put a multi neater to it. everything checked out.
Solution - in the driver side foot well, pulled up the carpet, where the center console wraps around and meets the carpet, up in there there's a multi pin din connector. that had come out. plugged it back, radio works again.

EDIT:
Sat nav is done. bad earth was the problem.

Nothing like a good cut, polish and wax.
