Hi, hope someone can help.

My radio display has always been hard to see during the day, initially thought it was the light/rain sensor but ruled that out. A few days ago the display completely bit the dust......radio still works and display on speedo fully functional. As I was buying one of the MR12VOLT bluetooth adaptors......thanks for the recommendation...I thought I would bite the bullet and buy a used radio from ebay to change over when I fitted adaptor.
Not that simple it would seem. The Bluetooth adaptor works with the old no display radio but not with the "new" radio. No lights on MOST fibre optic cables to cdc changer plug when "new" radio installed.
Does the radio need programmed to see the loop for cdc or am I missing something silly?

Thanks
