FunkyJon Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Howdy chaps, hope you can help me out! Yesterday I took delivery of a very nice 2002 Bora S TDi, however i've got a bit of a problem with it! Basically, the rear speakers aren't working, no sound coming from them whatsoever. Is there a balance adjustment for front/rear? I can only find left/right and a thorough perusal of the manual has left me none the wiser! for info the unit is a beta radio/cassette with a single cd player unit above it Is this me being dense or are the speakers just racked?

Rustynuts Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 The button you want to look for is "Fad" (read fader) which will allow you to adjust front to rear. Should be just under the "Bal" (balance) button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyJon Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Ta rusty, I've just been and had a look but i can't find a button labelled fad, here is a pic of the unit I have. I think there is a fad button on the gamma units but not the beta by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Oh, looks like you've blown a channel on the unit then, or perhaps a wiring fault? Back to the dealer, and tell 'em to fix it or get a new unit from someone. The Gamma unit coupled with a 6 cd unit is great, and should be a straight fit. What's directly above the head unit in your car, as this is where the cd unit goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Yes i would say that but the car has to be fitted with rear speakers in the first place The S models came with no rear speaker and that why the head unit has not got a Fad button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Ah, that might have something to do with it. Best not challenge the dealers with that one then. I've not had a car that didn't have rear speakers........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpongpo Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 No rear speakers? Are we living back in the eighties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyJon Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 hmmmm.....interesting! I assumed it did since there are speaker grills in the rear passenger doors, although presumably there's nowt behind them! seems a bit odd though, ah well, german manufacturers for you i suppose!!
