    Any modifications? Anything you've done to the car lately or at all? What's the scan saying?

    Yeah possibru.

    I'll have a gander around.

    To be honest, im EXPECTING the dash to need to be replaced so IF it is that, im not annoyed or dissapointed when I have to shell out hundreds of dollars to fix it instead of a 10c fuse.

    strange.. use VCDS to do final control on the dash insert to see if you get the display up... try disconnecting the battery for 10 mins and then back on again... so many problems are cured with a battery reset there days...

    Double check the wiring of the head unit, also check the battery charge with a multimeter, very odd..

    Does the head unit turn on and of with acc power?

    If it is battery, i'd be surprised if the LCD didn't light when the central locking worked, but who knows how many amps these elements need.
