I guess the problem is nobody really seems to know why it does work, or the conditions that will work.

For example I read that the model year of car and head unit was significant (that they should be congruent). So when I sourced another one to try, that's what I made sure of - didn't make any difference - it behaved no differently than the one I already have.

I've also heard tell that a specific procedure of unregestiring the head unit from the car before removal is key. But on the used market how could you be sure of that.

I guess the answer is probably random luck, until there's some definite answers uncovered. And even then, I suspect there's no fix for existing problems.
