hi please can someone help i have just put a multi function display in not
for the radio but for th mpg etc
but all im getting on the display is horizontal lines.any ideas

 

I have an idea that you're not giving us enough information. How do you
expect anyone to help you if you don't tell them what equipment you're
working with?

 

WHY PUT ONE IN IN THE FIRST PLACE LEAVE IT STANARD, IF IT WAS TO HAVE
ONE THERE WOULD OF FITTED ONE WHEN IT WAS NEW,

 

Why type in capitals and in rubbish English? If someone wants to fit one
then fine I have no objection. It might even save some petrol which is even
better.

 

hi do you know why this would not be working as you probably know there was a
wiring loom there it just needed to be plugged in of which i have done was
just wondering why this is flashing horizontal bars rather than info.regards

 

Yes but what model of thingummy jig is it for heaven's sake? You need to
pick up a signal from a petrol flow sensor and one from the speedo at the
very least I would have thought. But without knowledge of the type of gizmo
that you're trying to fit, it's a bit like asking how long a pice of string
is.

 

Hello Duck

I'm not familiar with the display on the 406, but the 605 controls the
information display with a button on the end of the wiper control stalk.
The 605s that do not have the information display (fuel consuption etc.),
but only clock and outside temperature, do not have the extra button.

Check your manual and see how the information display is controlled, and
whether you have the necessary controls installed.
