I have a Vauxhall Meriva, with a Blaupaunkt CD 30 MP3 after hitting a new speed hump at A speed a bit quicker than I should, My radio stopped working properly,
The unit turns on and seems to tune to a station,(you get the station name on the display) however no sound is heard, neither through the speakers nor the twin-audio system, there is an MP3 disc in the unit but it refuses to play (cd error) nor does it want to eject, this disk WAS being listened to at the time it stopped working, i have since took this unit out and found a penny (3 year old, dont ask) at the bottom,
any help or light shed on the situation is greatly appreceated

My CD30 won't turn off and just goes to mute, so it comes on and drains the battery. What am I doing wrong

Radio and cd appear to work ok but the volume is not working. It is either very quiet or non existent. As some sound albeit v quiet it doesn't appear to be a speaker problem. Any advise or solution would be gratefully received.

Thank you.

How do i activate bluetooth on the cd30 system for vauxhall zafira exclusive 1.9 cdti 2008 model. It just wont work treid everything

I had a similar problem with the CD30 in my Meriva, followed your advice and thought everything was going well. checked the fuses in the fuse panel in the passenger footwell, it looked fine but I changed it to be sure and took the radio out (extremely gingerly) and after a big of googling found the F1 fuse I was looking for. This looked fine but I changed it anyway...to be sure. Still nothing, the display on the dash still works and even responds to attempts at tuning and other radio operations but there is no sound and it won't eject the cd that is in there. I am at a loss as to what it is. At first I thought it was a problem with the speakers but all four at once? and the cd not ejecting seems a little strange. Has anyone else had this?

hi the antitheft lock has been activated on my cd player afetr a mechanic tried to sort out the speed dial, now the cd player isnt working, what should i do?

mike, August 2010

hi there, just wondering how you took the unit out. I have a meriva with a radio cassette and want to replace with a cd unit, but for the life of me cant get the old unit out. I have taking out the 4 grub screws and tried to yank it out, then removed most of the dash to see if i missed a screw orsomething!! can you help. Cheers.

can u tell me if there is a jack plug on the back of the cd 30 so i can plug my ipod into

anthony, August 2008

ive found the answer myself.....the problem was fuse F1 (open the unit, the fuse is clearly marked on the PCB,) set of testers (continuity) would further enforce my diagnosis, no continuity = fuse busted, solution is to bridge one side of the fuse to the other(other option is new fuse at great cost) email is andrew.aliison(a)ntlworld.com if any further assistane needed (dont have photos, not willing to open the unit
