Hi
I live in the UK, so I don't know how many of you are familiar with this head unit.
I had it professionally fitted to a Peugeot 206 for a couple of months and then one day I pulled into a supermarket, turned the unit off as usual, disconnected my phone from the USB cable in the glove box and did my shopping. When I returned, I connected it up again, turned on the head unit and it just said "READING" for presumably ever - I waited 10 minutes. I tried another USB storage device, and still nothing. Both the storage device and my iPhone work perfectly, by the way, and the head unit continued to function perfectly in terms of tuner and CD player.
Anyway, this was a pretty old car and before I had change to take it back to the audio specialists, the car itself died. I had the head unit removed once again, and placed into my new car.
To begin with, everything worked, and I presumed the failure to read the iPhone must have been in some way connected with the old car failing. Anyway, LITERALLY the same thing happened. I was listening to music off the iPhone through the head unit, went to get fuel, removed everything (as I always do), got back in car, reconnected... "READING" - and was unable to read from any USB device.
When I actually saw the back of the head unit I was disappointed to find that the fly out USB lead is hard wired to the back of it. I would have thought that simply having a USB port on the back would have been a wiser (and more customisable) option.
Anyway. I just wanted to see if anyone here had experienced similar problems with this, or other similar head units.
Thanks in advance
