Ford Mondeo MK4 - radio/bluetooth volume problem

Hi Folks.


Twice a year I had an issue with Sony 6000CD radio in Ford Mondeo MK4.

The problem was that in AUX or bluetooth mode the volume regulation wasn't working.
After few seconds I couldn't also change the track on pendrive.

I read a lot of forums and advices, including some hardware issues.
One of the working solution was battery disconnetion. In such a case the radio code was necessary.

But much simplier thing is soft reset of the Sony device.
To do that you have to press On/Off button on the radio and holt it for about 10-12 second.
Then the radio will be restarted.

Everything is working now :)

All you need now is to set your radio stations!

VONETS Wi-Fi Bridge VAP11G - 64-bit Windows problem

I’ve recently bought VONETS Wi-Fi Bridge VAP11G.
It lets you connect LAN device (i.e. printer with LAN port) through wi-fi with your router and use it in the network. I planned to use it with my old printer hidden in the wardrobe :)

The installation process ran ok, but VAP11G_SETUP.EXE was displayed on the processes list in Windows Task Manager, but it didn't work.

After searching Vonet’s support page, I have found that setup program do not support 64-bit Windows! It is compatible with 32-bit Vista and Win7 only.

Fortunately I have found solution, which works for me.

1. Uninstall WinPcap and VAP11G_setup (Start - Control Panel – Programs - …).
2. Download:
1. WinPcap 4.1.3 - LINK
2. VAP11G_Setup_5.0.30.4 - LINK
3. Install WinPcap first, then VAP11G_Setup_5.0.30.4 (it will tell you that WinPcap installation will be aborted, as you have aleready installed the proper version).
4. Restart your Windows
5. Disconnect you Wi-Fi (click the icon in the tray next to the system clock, select your SSID and click disconnect)
6. Connect VAP11G to your computer via LAN and USB ports – you should notice that orange led in VAP11G is blinking now
7. Go to the WinPcap folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\WinPcap) and run “rpcapd.exe” – you will see a black window with some information – leave it opened and DO NOT press Ctrl+C !
8. Now you can run VAP11G_Setup from your desktop and follow the original instruction

If you see some errors just ignore them and try again. Some steps are possible to do in 3^rd or 4^th attempt.
