| Ivan, it's either a poor connection or a fault with the unit by the sounds of things, probably check all connections are in nice and secure first. As for the CD changer, it's built in, if you look at ... |

| As the issue seems to be more pronounced when the weather is cold it may well be your glow plugs causing the issue. Have you tried pressing the start/stop button with your foot off the brake pedal and ... |
