Hi, I'm very new to this! Passed my driving test two months ago and have my first car: December 2003 206, 1.4, 5 door. My knowledge of cars is basic and I literally know nothing about the electrics of the car!
When I bought the car it had the original radio/stereo. I now have a Phillips CEM2000 (brilliant because it plays my MP3s CD's!). When it was first fitted it forgot any settings or preset stations, but I have gone back and the fitters have now resolved that. But the problem I have is the original display which shows the time/temp/open doors/radio station/cd track etc. but since the new radio being fitted it just shows the temperature and open doors. I understand that it won't work with my current radio but I would assume the clock would still work? Also, if a door is open it will say, for example, "Front left door open". But it only scrolls across half the display, and when the door has been closed, whatever letters were on the display at the time will stay there! Also, stereo doesn't work with controls by steering wheel but I didn't expect it to anyway so not too worried about that.
I have tried to search for a solution but I don't understand all the jargon used! I must stress: very new to this! I will highly appreciate any advice and am up for trying to fix it myself to save a few bob! Thank you in advance!!

Just done a bit of research. If it helps I have a "single line, multiplexed display"

I would have a guess that the people who sorted your stereo out ( ie swapped the wires ) have messed with a wire going to the mdf. I would take the car back and explain it worked before they touched it. It won't display the track etc but should the time and when a door is opened etc. Search stalk adapter and that will give you your answer on how to get the stalk by the steering wheel to work again.

Thanks, it was halfords that fitted it. They knew the problem but didn't think anything of it, although to be honest I didn't really make a fuss about that at the time.

Rebooting the BSI unit will fix this.
