Audio system problems

My daughter recently bought a 2004 Honda CR-V 2.0 petrol and has a problem with the radio. The system is called X-trons and is supposed to have sat-nav, Bluetooth, a CD Player and all the bells and whistles. It also has touchscreen controls, which is where the problem arises: they just won’t work. There is a remote control as well, but this does not seem to work with the radio – as you drive along, the radio keeps changing stations. Patrick Henry It may be worth talking to the main dealer, but I suspect they will want to replace the unit. They may suggest taking it out and sending it off to the manufacturer, which I believe in the case of the 2004 CR-V is Alpine.

Alternatively, you can contact an aftermarket specialist (details supplied); this company has a good feedback score on the sales site and offers a repair service. This will probably be a more economical option, although you may need to find a local garage to remove the unit and refit it upon its return.
