My first post and a new Pajero owner so please be gentle - I have searched through the posts but cannot find an answer to my (I am sure very easily resolved) query.

I very recently bought a 2003 manufactured 3.2 DiD GLS Pajero - it was first registered here in Cyprus from new in 2004. It is fitted with the W142 Audio unit combining Radio and CD player.

Despite reading the Owners Manual and applying the process detailed therein I am unable to change the display showing "CT" (which I believe is auto mode) to Manual mode to enable me to change the time on the screen. From what I have been told the owners manual appears to apply to 1997 models so may not be completely relevant, but then again it may be the correct version, I just have no way of knowing.

Either, there is a very simple process that is not immediately apparent to me and not as set out in the Owners Manual or the radio is "unwell" - it does play and after much faffing about I think I have worked out how to tune it in, but it required a lot of messing about as I have not found it to be the most intuitive system!

To follow on, is there a combined radio/cd/satnav system that would replace the existing unit that just slots into the existing space please?

Many thanks in advance for your gentle responses Very Happy

Wow - impressed by the response Razz

Anyway - problem sorted, it was a simple thing to sort but sadly not covered by the Manual in as much detail as was necessary but a little bit of lateral thinking did the trick.

It is so blindingly obvious once you know its embarrassing..................but basically follow the manuals instructions i.e. turn off the power and then turn on again whilst holding down button marked 4, BUT keep the power button and "4" button pressed till the mode changes and the CT icon disappears - hey presto, manual mode..................unfortunately the owners manual doesn't mention about holding down the buttons till the mode changes. HTH

Cyprus has barely moved away from Steam Radio............we may get RDS next century!! Despite being part of the EU this is at best a third world Banana Republic more suited to the Arab world than Europe!!
