Bonzo, sounds like the problem might be with the clock spring/rotary coupler in the steering column. It's a relatively common problem, and should be quite easy for the dealer to diagnose when you describe the problem, and to fix/replace.

I see someone has said CDs keep playing even when the unit appears to be off. This can happen if you have had people listening to the CD using the door mounted headphone sockets in the rear. If the headphone sockets are left in CD mode the unit will keep playing CDs even if you are listening to the radio up front. I heard mine changing discs while I was listening to the radio. I checked all the headphone sockets and switched them to 'radio' and the CD stopped playing.

ICE FAILURE

A mate of mine had a stereo failure in his Disco 3 and it would'nt power up at all. After checking the usual things, fuses etc he took it to a dealer. All they did was disconnect the battery terminals and touch them together (The free cable ends that is, not the baterry terminals!). When they reconnected the battery everything worked fine!

I had a similar problem, costing the dealer to replace the AMP under the drivers seat Big Cry , fortunately under warranty. 2 Years on no further problems. Very Happy

Have seen this problem alluded to before, but not fully explained, so this may add to the knowledgebase...

I picked car up from the stealer today after they'd been working on the door (under warranty, thankfully). When I got in, the radio (basic model) was completely dead. They sent one of their sparks out and all he did was disconnect the positive from the battery, earth the end of the positive lead to the frame using his spanner, wait about five seconds, then reconnect the battery. All solved.

He told me that they'd flattened the battery while working on the door ( Shocked ) and had then had it on the charger, and that the radio would sometimes shut down under these conditions - something to do with an electrical spike or current surge. Must be a surge protector on it or something.

He also said that this sometimes happens if you start the engine on a cold morning when the alternator can provide enough of a spike to shut the radio down as well. So I guess this could happen to anyone. The solution is the same.

Spain 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Manual Zermatt SilverDiscovery 3

Hello to everybody, yerterday morning an error that has occurred to me suddenly on the radio 6CD display screen, without warning, seems software, but with the use of several buttons (eject the CD, front windows up or down or activate the mute parrot that starts in radio) playing with these buttons undid the error.
The error is the total disappearance of the contents of the radio display, but everything works perfectly, all CD, stations, controls volume, balance or facer, the phone parrot etc ... all OK. Suddenly just give me the display error, not seen nothing. Why? Because I use some of the 6cd from home-burned cd? for updating with the faultmate some infotainment modules I have’t yet installed (screen-subwofer browser) which can not be the cause.
I read on the forum some similar, but apparently only affected few people, they say that with a battery reset the car is fixed, I have’t done yet.
Before the "erase" the entire screen, he began looking like if you read in a mirror the text, then began to "re-pixels" all content disappearing parts of letters and eventually was it. On the first occasion, before the error, I go to reset all the radio using the control menu on the radio, and was solved, but not the second or third because I was driving and esuddenly "delete" all the radio display.

Any idea how to reset the radio without removing the battery?
You know if you would have to put a "patch" software with faultmate or Land Rover?
Recently (4 weeks) I update my radio from basic radio to 6cd with amplifier.

If somebody could help me plese I hear his knoledge about this problem.

Cheers

Hi E-P

Radio / Bluetooth / Sat Nav display went down yesterday (2nd time in about 6 wks Evil or Very Mad )

To reset the readio without battery removal...............

Open up the Large Glovebox to access the fusebox (by pushing down on the curved retainers either side.)

Remove fuse 53 - double check the fuse number in the hand book to check

Wait 10 - 15 mins and re insert the fuse - radio unit takes a couple of minutes to reset and then works fine.

You'll need a torch to find the fuse numbers as all pretty dark down there.

Thumbs Up

Hi thank you for, I open the Glovebox and instead off the fuse 53 removing I unplug the C0582 connector who have all the wiring cables from the dash (radio, steering wheel, nav, airbag,... etc.) and after 15 min (more or less) nothing the nothing the radio was without display screen again.

I try with your option after lunch.

After a couple of days testing different failures, my conclusion, that it is a problem of the CD-changer, it have some problem to understand properly the CD music when these are "burned at home", the display loose the control on his correct way of function. I don't know exactly if the error it is caused by some special CD format (CD-R , CD-RW or other) but with using original music CD the Radio-6CD hi-line don't have any problem on display.
These are my trial and error results.

Cheers.

Sat Nav Lock Up Disco 3.

Tried to enter a route for this coming Saturday and for some reason all I am getting is the LR logo/piccie and it wont go to the "I agree" stuff so I can't use the satnav. Anyone know how to try a reset please? PS. My amp packed up about a week ago BUT I still had satnav albeit without voice until the amp is fixed/replaced. Thanks Big Cry

Same here. Radio completely dead - no sound, no display, and also noticed no clock/time display on the dashboard either. Performed the Hard Reset (see Wiki) and all restored to normal.
