After Market Head Unit Issues

[Rabbit]

Hi
I have just had my head unit switch over to and Alpine X802d-u and have just noticed that er:2 is now displayed in the MFD, can anyone explain to me what it means please?

Also the radio is now turning itself on every time i unlock the van (turns off when i lock the van), is their anyway to make it so as the radio only turns on when i put the key in the ignition? Is this where VCDS is required?

Thanks in advance


Edit
Sorry mods, wrong section?

There is a setting in the menu. Under general I think..
But @Absolut5 will be able to direct you more.
As for the error might be that the phone cant bluetooth to two devices. ??

 

[Rabbit]

Thanks for the reply

Even with only one Bluetooth stored (or no phone connected the er:2 remains

Had a look in the alpine settings and can see nothing about auto turn on, or did you mean somewhere else?

 

[Absolut5]

Yes VCDS is required to code the MFD to give nav directions and to get rid of the er2 massage

Also the turn on with unlocking the vehicle is a feature which can be switched off in a menu.

Who installed it, ?

 

[Rabbit]

Ram mobile in Wakefield. To be fair to the guy he did say bring it back and he would sort out the er:2 message.

Though I didn't realize that the directions could also be programmed in.

The big thing for me is the auto turn on, I don't suppose you know where in the menu that setting is as I'm struggling to find it?

 

[Rabbit]

Edit is the auto turn on an Alpine or VW VCDS setting? Really unsure on this one.

 

[Absolut5]

The er message disappears when the nav info is coded for the mfd

Auto switch on-

Vehicle info
Car setting
Settings
Then pre ignition to zero
Save and restart

A huge thanks @Absolut5

It really was driving me up the wall and I never would have found that setting, so a huge huge huge thanks

Quick question

Does anybody know how you get to the screws that hold the head unit in place? Is it the air vents section around the radio that just clips into place and pops off?

 

[Pauly]

Yes, the whole fascia around the headunit including the vents pops out then you can remove the four screws and stereo

@Absolut5

Thanks so much for ‘Auto switch on’ info - really helpful.

With regards to the first part - “the er message disappears when the nav info is coded for the mfd” - could you help me on how I remove this error message ? Do I have to take it along to VW ? Or is it something I can do myself ?

T6 with Apline X802D recently fitted.

Thanks in anticipation.

Do you know anyone with VCDS,...? Vw will not do this for you

Unfortunately I don’t, and had no idea what VCDS was until yesterday. Does anyone in Shrewsbury area have VCDS ?

Ah this brings back memories
I got this helpful guide from Alpine that explains what needs to be done to get the Nav working in the console display and it also cures the er message, as the two are linked.

Where abouts in Shrewsbury are you? I'm likely to be driving past Shrewsbury either tomorrow or Tuesday/wednesday next week?

Thanks @Rabbit for the reply and document - very kind of you. I think I have found someone who has got VCDS and fingers crossed will be able to remove the Er:2 message. If not I’ll be in touch again soon. Thanks fttb.

still needs coding for sat nav .. the er2 is generated by the aftermarket CanBus adapter,

Is this related to an after market head unit? What faults you've got?

The procedure for OBD11 would be:
Control units
Select Edit by tapping red pen button down right
Tick (37) Navigation.


NOTE! If automatic selection is proposed - do not allow that!
