Hi and welcome to AO

moved to Blue tech forum.

does the CD work, or just the same? is it the security feature kicking in?

where did you buy from - have you asked the previous seller (if private) or dealer?

hi there,
the dealer doesn't have a clue!if its the security feature,how do i turn it off?

[shiny_car]

if you bought it from a dealer, then it should be covered by warranty, right? then they should fix the problem.

i must say, i'm not aware of the factory blaupunkt headunit having a security feature like this. either it's faulty, or it's a non-factory headunit, or it's not the original factory headunit. what can you tell us about it? does it look factory?

[joleneelawady]

it is a factory unit because it is a sat nav built in unit?

[shiny_car]

oh, 2-DIN Connect+ system? could be complex/expensive then. but i'm not familiar enough with it.

[joleneelawady]

it keeps sayin that the sim card is not inserted?will that have anything 2 do with it?

[shiny_car]

no idea. try inserting one if you have one.

again, does the CD work? is it covered by warranty given you just bought the car? do you remember if it was working when you first checked the car?

Connect+ systems have failed in the past (ie: become faulty). so perhaps it's stuffed, and you need a new headunit (a replacement probably isn't worth the expense unless you find a cheap secondhand one).

is the dealer an alfa dealer? can you have it checked out by an alfa dealer?
