blu-c5 and cassette player
I bought a 2003 C5 'vert a couple of months ago and I'm gradually going through it fixing the stuff that doesn't work.
Lately it has been the CD changer/blu-C5 unit. The original CD changer that came with the car (Pioneer) didn't work. No cartridge eject and no CD indication on the head unit.
I replaced the changer with one (Delco) that ejected the cartridge but otherwise unknown functionality. Still no indication of a CD showed up on the head unit. I decided to try
the blu-C5. I installed it according to the instructions. The blue light on the blu-C5 comes on and I can pair it with my phone. Still no indication of a CD on the head unit.
at this point I noticed that the "Tape/Aux" button on the head unit didn't feel right. It didn't feel like it was activating the switch behind the button. Today I replaced the head unit.
Still no indication of a CD on the information panel of the head unit from either the Delco CD changer or the blu-C5 unit. The connector in the trunk appears in good shape. There is
12V on the green wire. The head unit is the cassette version.
Any ideas?
