Centre console - radio not working.

Good afternoon all.
this is my first post as I’m completely stumped. I have a Bentley GT 2006. It has the aftermarket head unit and ac controls.
the car went to the paint shop where I believe the battery went flat and they’ve got it started some way. This is where my problems came from. Now the radio/ac panel don’t work which in turn I can’t adjust the suspension. I can also hear my interior heaters working where I last had them set too 22degrees but can’t see or adjust it. Start button works plus heated seats and hazard switch.

I’ve checked all the fuses and nothing. Is there a control module that runs that system.

can anyone please help.

thanks Andy

Hello
Most likely the rear battery Check voltage: The rear battery should be around 12.6V when fully charged. Anything below 12V indicates a weak battery.

The car may activate power-saving mode, disabling some non-essential features.

Some Bentley models rely on the rear battery to power the air suspension system, and a weak charge might cause ride height adjustments to fail or feel sluggish.

Use a trickle charger for your battery

Thank you for replying. The both batteries have been replaced, suspension is up and working like my heaters I just can’t adjust anything because the centre console is dead apart from the other buttons I mentioned. It’s proper doing my head in.

Hello @Dickson440 ,
Welcome to 6speedonline !
As to your issue, please post a picture of the aftermarket unit you have installed.

Have you pulled the unit to check for a self contained fuse, just as the original head unit has a 10 amp fuse on board.

Johnny

Hi Johnny.

No I haven’t pulled the head unit I’ll try that in the next few days. I’ll post a picture of the system tomorrow. I was just thinking more of a module due to the fault codes of no communication with entertainment system.

cheers Andy
