Hi all
I have a 95 Xantia 1.8i, with what i would say is a standard key-code radio from Citroen.
For the last month or so it will not hold on a radio station, well only a couple.
It scans and finds the stations but will not hold them, it will just carry on scanning to the next one,the couple it will hold are not my cup of tea, even if i use the memory buttons, it will go to the stored one then start scanning.
Does any body know what is wrong with it? and have a fix for it?
Now if it is no good i will buy a new one, but as i can not afford to spend a lot of money on one i realise that i will loose the steering wheel controls, this i can live with, the the bloody big hole it will leave in my fascia i can't live with.
Can you buy a fascia plate or something to fill the hole, if so is it a Citroen part or a 3rd party part.
What sort of price range would i be looking at to keep the steering wheel controls, and what make of radio would work with them.
Thanks for any help on this
Tony

Hi all
Thanks for the replies.
Ok today was the first time i thought i would start pressing buttons on the thing, i don't know what half off them do, but i pressed the "VF" and it is now fine, i don't know what VF stands for, but it is a German registered car, so it could stand for something German, although the rest off the buttons are in English.
But anyway it seems to be sorted now.
ActivaV6uk thanks for the offer of the radio, if mine still plays up i will contact you, cheers
Thanks all

VF is for something like Verersfunk (not spelled correctly) which is an old German trafficinfo system. So you set was looking for German traffic info the time! and not findin any it kept on until it recieved new orders. like you turning VF of.
If it stil does not find stationsm you need to check the antennais plugged on teh back properly. at onetie they used a very cheap nasty right angle adaptor which kept falling off the back of the radio
