Good afternoon folks,

 

Yesterday the Bolero headunit in my 2010 MY Superb partially died, I let it rest overnight but unfortunately it appears to be unable to function fully this morning.

 

It still turns on but won't play CDs or the radio.

 

The radio is silent and I can't select any of the preset stations via the touchscreen.

 

If I select Media to play a CD the display show the dialogue box with "Please Wait...." text but doesn't do anything else.

 

I appear to be able to eject and load CDs in the normal manner.

 

The display still tells me if I use the seat heaters, adjust the temperature, turn on/off the aircon etc.

 

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

 

Is this likely to be repairable?

 

Would it be worth disconnecting the fuse for the Bolero unit for a while to reset it?

 

If it is irreparable is it fairly straightforward to fit a replacement unit?

 

Thanks

 

Tom

 

After much Googling and fiddling by torchlight I've managed to fix it by turning the radion on and then holding down the SETUP button unil the screen went black, this made the unit reset itself.

 

It now appears to be working as normal so I'm optimistic that a 3 hour round trip tomorrow will be accompanied by some bangin' choonz (and a bit of BBC R4 Drama on the way home).

Thanks for this post re reset.

 

my Bolero died a death yesterday, no radio or display and just a faint glow from the screen.

 

On/off but held at the same time as the setup button, and it appears to have run a reset, all good ta 

My wife's does this occasionally, just pull the fuse and leave a few seconds then all is fine again, but i'll try the reset you mention next time.
