Ah well, truly shorted it. Had a word with Alpine and there is an internal fuse, soldered on the board.
Simple enough fix (for them), so off it goes to the repair guy. Cheaper than buying a new o ... |

| Hi - they appear to be, in that I was able to get a different HU to power up fine. The only difference (aside from the HU itself) is that I wasn't using the ISO adapter for the Alpine; I just plugged ... |

Hi all,
The world's most un-handy man has struck again.
I pulled the head unit (it is an Alpine CDE-133BT) out to troubleshoot a non-functioning Bluetooth mic. Easy fix, it had popped out of j ... |

That model Autoflex doesn't appear to be offered any longer?
Blaupunkt has something similar, maybe it is the same? The base looks different, can't really tell from the wee internet picture:

Thanks - removing the plastic plate gave me enough room to get the aerial out.
Not thrilled with the Mr. Happy Shopper one I picked up at Halfords though, will have to get a better one, better than ... |

Ah, OK - thanks.
I had undone that chrome nut, wasn't sure if I just pull the aerial up through there or not. I'll go out and give it another bash.
Mine appears to be a bog-standard aerial, n ... |

Hi all,
Did a search for this, and had a fiddle under the bonnet as well - but as the most un-handy person in the UK I can't seem to figure out how to actually remove the aerial on my my09 110.

Turns out that the back door had shifted slightly, the upper left-hand corner wasn't even touching the seal anymore.

HI all,
I've been power washing the underside of my 110 since I got it in 2009, especially in the winter months, to keep the rust at bay.

Not necessarily Defender related... but could be in the future.

I think mine were long 3/16 rivets so can easily be done with a rivit gun and any local bolt suppliers or even b and q should be able to supply rivets.
