Sony Dab retrofit from smax no audio

Postby svennemo » Thu Sep 14, 2017 9:18 am

Hi
I have installed a sony/ford dab radio from a 2012 smax. I used the quadlock and everything is fine. Almost.
There is no audio/sound soming from the speakers. Yes, the speakers are ok :)
The dab finds the channels, cd is playing and everything seems ok.
There is probably no bluetooth module in my Connect, if that is a problem(audio mute on display when pressing phone button)
Any suggestions?

Car: Transit Connect 1.8tdci 2011

To use the DAB radio channels you'll need DAB antenna with it.

Antenna is installed. Channels are found and displayed.
There is no audio on cd player either.
Anyone know if the speaker pins in the quadlock connector are different from model to model?

Pins are the same, Did the sound work ok when it was in the smax?

I had the no sound problem with my dab unit a couple of times but only on the radio, cd worked fine. I disconnected the battery for a couple of mins, reconnected and put the code in, and it sorted it out. Give it a try. :roll:

I think I found the answer. This is a unit from a s-max 2012 called a audiophile version. Means that is does NOT have a build in amplifier. So this is worthless for me..
