chocohercules Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Hi Guys, I recently bought a second hand Head Unit due to mine dying and not loading any CD's saying Push Eject and not opening the cd insert slot. Radio and Tape worked fine just CD buggered with no response. I have now got a problem with the second unit and it looks like it requires a code or something stating "Wait then Secure" but doesnt give you anyway to enter a code??? I believe the code is in the serial number somewhere but what numbers do I use? Is it the last 4digits etc, etc...and does it have to be programmed by the main dealer? Thanks for any help. Quote
ZEUS Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 As far as I know they are not transferable from one car to another without loads of hassle and expense from nissan (if they will do it). They are programmed to the car from factory, probably best to buy a branded replacement or you can remove the cd part from them both and swap the good cd part into your stereo, that works. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 They have got to be divorced properly from the donor vehicle for the swop to work. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON!!! I visited Zippypoos with this problem and used my old Bose with working CD player as a donor unit. Managed to successfully transplant just the CD mechanism, which is kinda straight forward when using patience and care to where everything goes. Tested after swap and worked fine. 2 Quote

techinstaller Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I can confirm ive done exactley that ,its not that hard to do although i am of a technical disposition Quote
chocohercules Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 Excellent, Thanks alot for all the replies much appreciated. Looks like im going to be dusting off the screwdriver set this weekend, wish me luck Quote
BulletMagnet Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I think Zippypooz took a picture while we disassembled the HUs, there were quite a few screws. You basically take things of in layers, first the face plate, then he tape deck until you can get to the CD changer if I remembered the order correctly. Quote
flyboy Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Just try changing the front over- the pcb and buttons with the front plastic. I was told this (The pcb) is where the code is held when I was changing the leds in mine and putting new plastic on the front due to scratching. Should be easier than changing out the cd bit just a few plastic tabs to spring. Quote
chocohercules Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies, Jobs a gooden, now sorted after changing the top section CD part. Now works perfectly and saved a lil cash too, nice one boys n girls. 1 Quote
