I'm leaning towards trying to check the connections on the panel and possibly fixing it. Are there any obvious failure points that I should look out for?

Sorry I meant that the black connection on the panel I have is 18 pin. There is a 12 pin version too which is what the replacement panel I got off eBay has. I’m not sure what difference is but the...

Is the aux fan on fuse 48? When I drive it still kicks out hot air through the vents even though I have pulled fuse 48. The FSU/FSR was awkward to get in. Maybe it’s not seated right. Would that...

I think you’re right it would be a low risk and probably would work. I might look into other options first as the modules are DAB rather than DAB+ so are a bit old school now. Maybe time for a full...

Interesting thanks. Does that include newer versions of the modules? As in can a newer module be put in place of an older module or does there need to be software updates to allow for newer modules?

I'm also wondering if the DAB module might be a bit old school now as it doesn't support DAB+ which might explain why I got no signal outside the UK in Europe. I might look into options for DAB+ and...

The menus for the phone settings can’t be accessed they are greyed out. Would a failure in the TCU cause this? Or could the DAB module not passing on the signal to the TCU also cause this?

I can’t bypass the DAB module as the bypass connector I have doesn’t fit the connector. I’m not sure where to get one that does or the part number.

I think it just got a bit worse. I opened up the cover on the front panel and it looks like the arms are cracked:
