Was zu tun ist

Check whether the subscription is actually paid before anyone charges you to look at this.

This is the satellite or subscription radio receiver. A subscription that has lapsed is not a fault — the equipment works, the signal arrives, and the service declines to authorise it. The screen usually shows an unhelpful error rather than saying so plainly, and a lot of money gets spent diagnosing an unpaid bill.

If you bought the car second-hand, this is especially likely. The subscription belonged to the previous owner and almost certainly was never transferred.

If the car was imported, that is the other common answer. These services only broadcast in certain countries, and a receiver for one that does not cover where you live cannot be repaired into working.

If it is genuinely a technical fault, it is usually the aerial rather than the receiver. Satellite reception needs a clear view of the sky, so mention anything to do with the roof — headlining work, a roof box or bars, or a leak. If the satellite navigation has also been struggling, that points at the roof aerial and makes it one fault rather than two.

Nothing about this affects driving the car.

Was dieser Code bedeutet

The subscription entertainment receiver is broadcasting data that cannot be accepted as true. See U0400 for the family's framing.

This is the satellite or subscription radio receiver, and the first thing to establish about it is not electrical: is the subscription current?

A lapsed subscription is not a fault. The receiver is working, the signal is arriving, and the service is refusing to authorise it — which is exactly what it is designed to do. The head unit generally shows an unhelpful error rather than saying so, and a great deal of time gets spent diagnosing a bill somebody stopped paying. Vehicles sold second-hand carry these codes for years for that reason, since the subscription belonged to the original owner and was never transferred.

The second thing is geography. These services are regional. An imported vehicle carries a receiver for a service that does not broadcast where the vehicle now lives, and no repair changes that.

Where the fault is genuinely technical, it is usually the aerial rather than the receiver. Satellite reception needs a clear view of the sky, so it is affected by exactly the things at U0486 — the roof antenna module and its connectors, headlining work, a roof box, and water at the roof seal. A receiver reporting an implausible signal state alongside poor satellite navigation performance is one fault at the roof rather than two in the entertainment system.

Nothing here affects the vehicle's operation.

CarGeek ist ein Nachschlagewerk, kein Werkstatthandbuch. Die Seiten entstehen aus öffentlichen Quellen und aus dem, was andere festgestellt haben, nie aus den Serviceunterlagen des Herstellers; für Ihr konkretes Fahrzeug können sie daher falsch oder unvollständig sein. Ein Teil des Beschriebenen birgt echte Gefahren: Hochspannung, Kraftstoff unter Druck, gespeicherte Energie sowie heiße oder bewegte Teile.

Lassen Sie alles, wonach Sie handeln wollen, von einer fachlich geschulten Person anhand der herstellereigenen Vorgehensweise für Ihr Fahrzeug prüfen. Nichts hiervon ersetzt diese Vorgehensweise.

Dazu wurde noch nichts veröffentlicht. Was immer Sie gefunden haben, ist es wert, aufgeschrieben zu werden — selbst eine Sackgasse erspart jemandem denselben Nachmittag.

Was einen Bericht lesenswert macht:

  • Das Fahrzeug — Marke, Modell, Baujahr und Motor. Derselbe Fehler verhält sich auf jedem anders.
  • Was Sie gemessen haben, nicht nur, was Sie getauscht haben.
  • Was es tatsächlich behoben hat — oder dass nichts es behoben hat, was ebenso nützlich ist.
