206 clock / display problems with SONY stereo - please help!

  1. Hi all!

    I would be extremely grateful if you could help me out with a few
    problems I'm having with my new stereo which I installed in place of
    Peugeot's factory one.

    Firstly, I have a 2002 model of the 206 (without the fancy electronic
    LCD screen in the dash -- but with the standard digital clock / message
    display system just below the windscreen) and I replaced the factory
    stereo with a Sony CDX-GT300 CD player unit. I connected the cables
    correctly with the help of an experienced mechanic, however I find now
    that the in-dash clock (below the windscreen) no longer functions
    correctly.

    The clock displays the time, though it is incorrect, and I am unable to
    set it using the normal buttons. Also, the messages such as "Right
    Front Door Open" are displayed on this clock's screen but they freeze
    up and do not dissapear even after you close the door (though the do
    stop scrolling across the screen).

    I can only presume these problems have arisen because the clock's
    screen was being controlled somehow by the factory stereo.

    Is there anything I can do to resolve these problems?

    If you have any information on this at all, I would sincerely
    appreciate it as the problem is driving me crazy.

    Many thanks!

    I think you should ring up some radio people and ask for some help. or
    you might end up blowning all the fuses or burn all the wires out..

    You need a little gizmo from connects2 which interfaces between the
    SONY and the onboard display. Daughter has the same setup and it works
    fine. Costs about £50 though!! Halfords sell them but they may have to
    order it in. All the stick functions work as well.

    cheers,
    Len
