Sori, ngayon lang ako nakapag-update on this. nakuha ko na car last december pa kaso I made sure to test it muna before giving any feedback sa pagkakagawa.Btw, it took almost a month na magawa laht-lahat kasi mahirap daw maghagilap ng tamang parts.

Anyway, the aircon is fixed. Yung warning sa dashboard is gone and the fans are functioning properly. Pinalitan ang compressor,evaporator and isa pang part na I forgot the name. One thing I noticed lang kasi immediately after getting the car is lumakas ang gas consumption but as the weeks went by, nag-okay na. Ewan ko kung bakit ganon. All in all, inabot ng almost 60K! More than half of that was for the original compressor.90% went into parts and 10% lang halos ang labor cost. I was given the option na magpa re-bracket na lang ng panibago para daw malagyan ng mas murang compressor but I opted to get the original kaya ganon kamahal ang compressor, but still cheaper than the casa price.

Oo nga pala, isang naging problema ng pagkakagawa ng aircon is nag-safe mode ang radio. Even with the code entered, ayaw na mawala safety mode. Emailed Philips kaso sa casa lang ako ni refer, so I guess sa casa talaga ang pagawa nito.

*guguly - Try this ...

1 - Turn OFF the radio.
2 - Switch on ignition, but don't start the engine.
3 - Press [AS] before turning ON the radio, but keep it pressed for about 3 seconds until it beeps/displays [ 10 _ _ _ _ ]. See note.
4 - Press preset key [1] repeatedly until it matches the first digit of your code.
5 - Press preset key [2] repeatedly until it matches the second digit of your code.
6 - Press preset key [3] repeatedly until it matches the third digit of your code.
7 - Press preset key [4] repeatedly until it matches the fourth digit of your code.
8 - Make sure the code displayed is correct (ex: [ 10 c o d e ]).
9 - Press [AS] again for about 3 seconds, then the radio should turn ON normally.

Note that for evey number of times an incorrect code was entered, the radio will wait longer before it accepts a new attempt. Some have waited for hours. From what I've read, x10 is the maximum (someone even posted x6) then it's only a dealer that can sort it.

Thanks for the reply, but did this procedure already. Upon pressing AS, wala na lumalabas, SAFE lang.
