The ICE fuse that controls the radio is a 5 amp fuse located on the passenger side fuse bay located under the back seat. I forget the exact number but it’s location should be marked on the cover or found on line. In my case, the fuse was blown. I also had a strange issue with this fuse related to cold temperature.

I noriced the radio would be dead until the cars cabin had warmed up. I’ve not looked at it in detail yet but I’m assuming that the cold has made the contacts contract

Thanks for the quick response, will be back at it with the Cat shortly. About 15 degrees out today if I'm lucky. Anything to get this car where I want it!

Fuses are blown for a reason.... after you changed out the fuse and tried unsuccessfully to turn on the head unit, did you re-check the fuse to see if it had blown again?

Yes rechecked all mentioned fuses again, both heelboards and the boot. Even unattached the disc changer.
