Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / August 2004206 radio - asks for code every start
Hi, I just bought a 206 for my wife, the radio asks for the code every time she starts the engine. I have checked all the usual things like fuses and connectors and they are all fine. The only bit I haven't got to yet is the dash display which seems to be in the path of the power. The radio works fine once the code is entered. Has anyone had the same problem and cured it? The 206 is a 99 model and the radio is a Blaupunkt 2040. TIA Robert Hi Robert Same syndrome as my daughters' Hyundai! I have not finished diagnosing the problem, but my theory is that the starter motor shorts itself out when starting - thus drawing all available power. This results in the radio "thinking" it has been disconnected, and asking for the code. The same can result from a low battery and/or inadequate charging. Hope this helps, but do keep in mind that I am still in the thinking state :-) Ivar Petur > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > TIA > Robert Thanks for the prompt reply Ivar, this cannot be the problem with the 206 as it will do the same even if you don't start the car but just turn the key to activate the radio. I suspect the link to the display but haven't got the car to have a detailed look.

My wife's 206's radio switches off when you turn off the ignition but you are able to turn it back on by pressing the on button on the radio.

I had no idea modern radios could do that. Tried it in the Ford Focus tonight and bugger me it works. Goes off with the ignition but comes on again if you press the button. When you switch the ignition on again it resets. Up till now I've left the ignition on when the car's stopped if I wanted the radio on. Maybe I ought to read the handbook more carefully. Might be just a small touch but that's so bloody clever. You can leave the car temporarily to go into a shop or something, take the key and still have the radio on for the passengers but it won't stay on and flatten the battery at the end of the trip. I've done that often enough with older cars when I've turned the volume down for some reason and forgotten the radio's still on. I haven't got a clue how the wiring for something like that works but I'm most impressed.

That *is* a clever choice, IMO. Indeed, everything turns off after this 30min delay*, and the MFD just shows "economic mode on" (may be different on english cars, I never modified the language used by the car, although possible). It seems it works even with an opened door. (*) The handbook says that the delay to enable the economic mode is, indeed, cumulated time without starting the engine. I assume you could, for example, turn on the radio for 10 mins, then switch off, then on again for 5 mins, then on for 15 min it would do the trick as well.

Does it? This feature may be selectable - it is so on my 1992 605. The fuse for the radio is in a three pole socket, next to the inside fuse box. The center pole is of course always used, but by plugging into either end you select whether the current is taken direct from battery (no key in ignition to use radio) or whether the current is routed through the ignition. Don't know whether this is selectable on the 206, but it would be interesting to know ...

Radio goes off with ignition but can be turned on again while ignition remains off.

Has anyone had the same problem and cured it? >The 206 is a 99 model and the radio is a Blaupunkt 2040. There are normally two 12v inputs to a car radio. One which is live all the time to power the station presets and the security code and the other ignition switched one to power the actual player. Sounds like either the 12v permanent live is not working or there's an internal fault in the radio on that part of the circuit. Maybe it's just that someone removed the radio once (or the car battery connections) and didn't wire it back up properly. Check the permanent live first and if that's got voltage and is connected to the right terminal then it must be an internal fault.

Check the permanent live first and if that's got voltage and is > connected to the right terminal then it must be an internal fault. I guess it's something like it. My Kenwood headunit came with two straps on the wiring, to let you wire it permanently, or to have the permanent and the +12V "after ignition" tied together. In the last case, radio presets are lost every time you turn ignition off. I had that once on my car, with an almost flat battery, there was merely enough power to start the engine, and it reseted the radio every time I started the engine (in addition to the starter running slowly). Regards, G.T g.t6@worldonline.fr 205 Diesel & turbo-Diesel : http://205d.fr.st probably not related,i have a blaupunkt cd player in my car and one of the features of it is you have the option to disable/enable the pin code, could it simply be that this has a similar thing and that it has been set to enabled, resulting in you having to put the code in everytime you power up the radio? worth looking through the menu options. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > TIA > Robert |
