got a ibizia 1.4s year 2000 the problem happened when i removed the cassete to fit a aftermarket one my heater controls do not work anymore or the lcd screen is there a way of resetting this

Aftermarket Head Unit?

The LCD and Heather controls form part of the whole Tape head unit so if you take this out they wont work.

Its a stupid design however some people leave the standard stuff in and put an aftermarket headunit under neath the steering wheel.

You could try and get a Cupra CD player unit and Facia however not sure if this actually works.

Other option, get a VAG CD changer or an ipod connector.

i have left the standard one in and fitted a aftermarket one under the steering wheel ive only used the wires from the cassete to the after market one left the others in the standard one but when i plug the standard one back in there is power going to the cassete because i see it playing but the problem is i have no heater controls or the lcd screen

Checked fuses? There are 2 separate fuses for the stereo.

i checked the fuse under the steering wheel i dont know where the other one is located

Best bet is to either look in the handbook or on the back of the pannel that you remove to get to the fuse area.

found 3 fuses in total one under the bonnet one under the steering wheel and one at the back of the cassete but all ok so i dont know what has gone is it the lcd screen or is it the cassete unit i dont no if these can be tested any help would be apreciated

I'd be willing to bet that you have just unpluged the power to plug into your new head unit, this is why you have no power to it, when installing a new headunit you need to split the power, its not as simple as just removing the iso block and sticking it in something else.

Easy way for you to check is unplug the new head unit and plug it into the old one, bet it all powers up again.

hope that helps.
