Hyundai Grand i10: Head-unit goes bad Hey TBHPians,
I've an issue with my car stereo which I wanted to share with you guys. I've a 2013 Grand i10 Asta which came with the factory ICE. About 1 week back, on my way back home, I noticed something unusual with the ICE. It didn't started playing any music (as usual) and incidentally was not even turning on. I didn't bothered that time and went home. The next day when I tried turning it on, it was still not working.
Based on my experience with past electrical issues with my friends' cars, I thought of checking the fuse for the ICE. On further investigation, I found that the 15A fuse was alright. I checked the continuity of the fuse using a multimeter and it was fine. To my surprise, when I plugged the fuse back in, the stereo turned ON. There was a message displayed on the screen: "BOOTLOADER STARTED PLEASE INSERT USB WITH FILE". (See the image attached)
The ICE displaying the error message:
I thought of leaving it for the professionals and tried to shut everything down for now. But again to my surprise, the stereo was not turning off even if I locked the car and turned off all the lights and other things. In the end, I had to remove the fuse of the ICE again to turn it OFF as leaving it in would have definitely discharged my car battery.
Later next day I checked with my nearest Hyundai service center but unfortunately they were not having any solution to the problem and insisted to get the stereo replaced. I don't want to spend almost 30k to fix this ICE in this car.
I would really appreciate any suggestions/solutions you guys can provide based on your experience.
Thanks & Regards, |
