RT3 no cd option available in source

[LanciaPhedra2004]

Helo,
I have already written a message on language change topic, I couldn’t get cd to work and waited for the new unit to arrive but I encountered problem.

The cd unit seems to have different cable with less pin and unfortunately I am shipping back.

However, I would like to notice that strange behavior.

When you insert cd it gets in, but it does not attempt to spin at all. In fact, there is no cd option in the Source menu, only radio and that’s it.

How would you attempt to diagnose the actual problem to solve it?
Thank in advance for any advice.

You would need a diagnostic to be done on it, but from the sounds of it the CD unit has died. Bear in mind these units are 20 years old + now.....

I managed to get an other rt3 unit. I swapped cd part and put the whole thing back into car. Cd started working, everything looked fine. I took the key out and turned back on again. Now screen shows logo for few seconds and orange light is on. Then it reboots and tries again.


What’s wrong now?

Hard to say on a Forum without you getting it properly diagnosed. On a PSA vehicle, Lexia should be able to interrogate the unit to see if there are any issues being reported, but with your Lancia, I can't advise.

Success!

The unit woke up again and everything works. I believe there was connection problem between head and body units. When I plugged all connectors, the fans were on but no screen and no lights. I played a bit with front part and it turned on

And one more question, do you know whether I could add Bluetooth to this rt3 so I could stream music from iPhone?

[GiveMeABreak]

No, not possible. Far too early for Bluetooth.

You'll have to use a third party device that can transmit Bluetooth via an FM radio signal that your RT3 will be able to play on a certain frequency. But you will have to use the after-market device to control tracks. Only the volume will work on the vehicle controls.

Or you can create an MP3 CD which is usually big enough to store about 100 tracks on depending on track size.
