The Scania AUS4 Basic radio is increasingly coming to us with a complete loss of power — the unit does not respond, it will not switch on. This is a common fault with this model, and at OEMatic we know how to remove it effectively.
How do you identify the AUS4 Basic model?
The easiest way: compare your unit with this photo:
Also check the sticker with the numbers on the casing — it should include:
- Manufacturer name: Harman Becker
- Model: AUS4 Basic or AUS4 Basic DAB
- Scania logo: under the barcode
- Vehicle it fits: Scania R, S, NGS
If you’re still not sure — send us a photo of your radio – we will confirm the model free of charge before repair.
Typical fault symptoms
The behaviour of the Scania AUS4 Basic radio with this fault is:
- Will not switch on at all (may draw 0.6A)
- No sound from the speakers, not even hiss
- No illumination of the buttons or screen
- The ammeter shows that it responds to manually pressing the power knob, yet there is no response on the screen.
Is your radio freezing on the start-up logo? That is a different fault — read how we repair it here.
