Whether it's installation that might not have gone as planned, or a random problem that comes out of nowhere. Here is a list of your common car stereo problems, symptoms and solutions to help get your stereo up and running! Many Jeeps and Chevrolet systems have a data signal wire that carries a very low voltage signal that tells the OEM Head Unit when to turn on, however; it is not compatible with aftermarket units.

If your car has any of these systems, check your AMP TURNON signal wire for 12v. If you have a voltage meter or a test light, test the ground blackconstant 12v yellowand accessory 12v red wires to make see if you have the correct voltage in the correct wires, as well as a good ground.

Constant will always be 12v, whether or not your car is on. Make sure to use your ground, as well as another ground like the frame or body of the car while testing your constant and accessory to test that you have a good ground. If you find that one of your power wires or ground wires are not correct, check your vehicle wire diagram and make sure you have the correct corresponding power and ground wires. After finding the location of the fuse, pull it and make sure that the leads are not corroded and that the fuse has not been broken or popped.

Check your ground wires and find a better place to ground them, e. There are a few solutions to this problem:. Because of this, we've seen a shift in many features that have historically been seen as standard on head units, including:. Below you'll find our current top pick car stereos that are embracing the swift progression of audio and digital technology.

Check back in frequently for updates, as new products are released and added to our list! Hi, I have a Ford Escape When I press the eject button on both the cd or cassette the display light turns on.

The it turns off. I does not give me any sound. It takes the CD and ejects the CD. I have a Civic. Bought it brand new and had an aftermarket system installed shortly after I purchased the car.

Currently have a Pioneer head unit. Boston Acoustic front and rear speakers, 10 inch sub, and a 4 channel amp. Speakers and amp are originally bought in My issue is the amplified audio from my speakers cuts off and on randomly. It is the front and back speakers. When they cut off the only thing on and working is unamplified sub. The transition from on to off, and back on when it happens, is quick and crisp.

Almost like a switch! The head unit was replaced a few months before this started to happen. Any advice would be appreciated! Two things; I have installed Kenwood DDXDAB in my car. After installing, the radio is working fine, but there is some background noice. The bluetooth connection to mobile phone is in and out and on the unit it differents between phone and audio playback. Connecting to one but not the other. Phone is connected, but the audio playback is not possible, because the choise ON is disabeld.

I have not found any solution in the manual. I listened to the rears and they are still thumping, but there are no vocals coming through, I even replaced them today, but still nothing. Question I have a JVC kw-vbt and the system has been working fine, this morning I started up my vehicle and no sound was coming out of the speakers. About 10 minutes into my commute to work, it started playing around again. It delays sound minutes after starting up and I have no clue what this could be.

Just installed an aftermarket ken wood deck, in a Sunfire. What can be causing this issue? Ok so I installed a Dual radio in my 02 jeep grand Cherokee and I bought the right wiring harness and matched all the colors but only my rear speakers work. A very nice write-up, thanks for that. I have a different issue though, if anyone has encountered this I would appreciate any tips. If I turn the gain for the rear speakers all the way down on the amp, my car stereo goes into protection, I have to unplug everything and plug it back to get it working again.

I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado and I purchased a single din Dvd player. My problem is where the deck goes right above it is a over hanging part of the dash, I need my deck to come out about 3 inches. Do you know of any kits or ideas on how I can do this? I have grand am. I have a Nissan Altima.

I installed a 2-Din JVC radio. I noticed that sometimes when my headlights come on, the speakers shut off. I turn the radio off and off; and the speakers work like normal.

After this started to happen to my speakers, I disconnected both wires. Yet the same thing still happens. I have a crimefighter touch screen stereo and was working fime up untill today. Every time i turn it on it just goes straight to the camera and wont change or it will turn on with a thud through the speakers then static then switch off and do it all over again.

I bought my head unit around that time too. I put in new door speakers last summer. Recently my speakers slowly start getting quiet, and then they just stop working all together. Anyone ever had similar issues? I have a Mercury mountaineer. I had transmission work done about a year ago. The radio plays only one station because the display screen does not come up so I can change stations. I just bought a used Ford exposition. And the car drives great. But the radio doest work!!! I back tracked to all the fuses under the dash and in the Good, but the fuses checked out!!!

Anyone have any suggestions? I installed a double din head unit in my 15 dodge dart several months ago, and it was loud clean etc then all of a sudden it went to distortion what could cause this ….??? So i have a 95 Nissan pathfinder, and an aftermarket boss stereo installed. Sometimes when I disconnect the antenna cord thing. The cord that has a metal thing on it, supposed to be a ten thing or something it starts working again.

But then when I turn my car off and then back on when I get into it, it stops lighting up again. All the wires are connected properly. A strong local station I have checked antenna connection and it appears to be good, I can listen to am stations and when I disconnect antenna it goes out.

Hi Joe, I have similar issue with my factory stereo in a Landcruiser. Start car,turn radio on and sometimes no sound but minutes later normal reception comes on. Then sometimes it works as normal,but issue seems to be happening more frequently…. I can see why it would be important to read why the head unit might not have sound. Another solution would be to watch videos about it. I installed woofer and tweeters in the doors of my toyota corolla and used an Pioneer amp to power them.

Once I hooked the system up I have alternator noise and a constant buzzing coming from all the speakers. I have it grounded to the car frame around the window where I scraped the paint off and then drilled a hole and screwed the grounding wire in. The amp is under the drivers seat of the car and I installed new speaker wires so that the sound quality and power would be better. Any advice on how to get rid of the alternator noise and constant buzzing? The Corolla engines do not possess a large alternator.

Even though you have an amplifier it does not change the amount of power that the alternator puts out. The wind is from the alternator being overloaded.

An alternator with larger coils or a bigger rating will not whine like yours is. I suggest getting a larger powered alternator. Just check for the fuses near the battery and the ones down on the RHS of the steering. If the appropriate amp fuse is not given, they may be blown. If no fuse is blown, then remove all the fuses and reconnect them. This should do the trick. I got my problem solved by this technique. HI, we just purchased a Mercedes Smart Fortwo vehicle.

Dealers just want you to bring the car in for service. After being on line and doing research I have discovered there is not a SIM card in the stereo. Can you tell me where to purchase a SIM card for the smart car?

Appreciate your help here. I have a an old nissan micra. The radio is old as the car. A few weeks ago all of a sudden the radio started to make a beep sound and lose the radio connection. Sometimes if I switch it off and on again, the radio broadcast again but sometimes it is not. It also changes the station by itself always to a group of them. Is the radio that is gone or is the antenna that needs replacement. How do I know? Thanks for your help here. The same thing happens if you push anything on the actual face plate, sometimes it works, sometimes it does nothing or it just reboots the whole thing.

I pushed it once and it restarted, so I pushed it again and held the button until it shut down. Just installed a Jensen which works fine…. Did you replace the factory head unit with the Alpine or was there another aftermarket previous to the Alpine?

If you replaced the factory radio did you use also a harness that plugs into the harness you unplugged from the OEM radio to facilitate the installation of the Alpine? The stereo and speakers are both factory. Try unplugging the power outlets connected to the same fuse. I was having the same problem and that fixed it for me.

Then I have to switch my stereo off for 10 secs and on again and everything plays normal it happens all the time when I press on my hooter even if I press it for 1 sec. I have a impala ls. Finally I got it working then it randomly started losing power and shutting off. Then it would turn back on by itself. I thought maybe the radio was bad so I put factory radio back in. It does the same thing.

I can be driving down the road and it just shuts off then turns back on. Sometimes it can be for a second or two and other times it can take almost a minute to turn back on. And other times it will just keep turning on and off on and off repeatedly. The clock resets pretty much every time yet it seems to save my presets. I took it in to a shop and they insisted it was the module I bought with the aftermarket radio.

But I disagree because it was doing it for a while before installing that specific module. I originally tried a relocation harness before switching back to stock. Now mind you, all factory plugs are still intact. I never cut them. Hi I recently bought a double din for a VW Polo 6, after about 6 months my screen becomes white with no sound while playing music and that sometimes happens when I hit a speed hump.

I tried to reset it, but nothing happens. I have to wait for a few hours or a day for it to be normal again. I am going to assume there is a problem with my alternator but i would like a more detailed reason as to why this happens as in is my alternator out putting too much power so my amp is shutting off.

Everything went fine except for mounting it inside the dash. The factory mount is actually a 5mm flat piece of plastic with a wood grain pattern overlay. There is nothing on the sides or behind to help stabilize the deck. The factory deck was a generic cassette player that hardly weighed anything. I know about the various mounting kits available but have yet to find anything that will help me. Does anybody have any ideas on what I should do?

I have a Monte Carlo. I recently installed my front door speakers but when I took the old ones out, they were melted. So when I installed the new ones in, nothing happened. Do I need new wire harness? I recently installed a Pioneer AVHBS and it worked great on the first week but now for about 5 minutes after I start my car, it keeps uncontrollably changing the input. When I change it back to what I want it just keeps changing.

After about minutes on the road it quits and works normally. Tried to see if the remote was a problem so we took out the remote battery but it still happens. Had a friend install it for me but if anyone has suggestions on how to fix it would be much appreciated! Have a Ford Taurus the radio would work when in ACC but when its time to start it actually stops. It has power sometimes but never no sound or anything.

Two days ago I put in a single din stereo in my van and it worked great. The next day it had no power, someone told me to pull out the bcm fuse and put it back in and that fixed it. This is not a very expensive or powerful system. So last night it did it again, so for the time being it is working. I pulled it out and went threw the wires and interior fuse connected to the unit and it is fine.

Is it just a bad unit or am I missing something? I have a 99 Chevy Blazer that had the factory am-fm cassette player. I recently purchased the OEM am-fm stereo with CD player and had it installed. The stereo plays beautifully and the clock works but when I put a CD in, the ERR comes on and rejects the CD.

I checked the original car manual; it said that it could be the CD was dirty or scratched or it was too hot but I live in Arizona. I have an 89 f and the original stereo system produced a very low volume which I could not control.

So i got new speakers and the same situation occurred. So I hooked up an alpine and everything worked on it except it had no sound. The speakers are getting power because i can hear them when the unit turns on and off, but no sound. I have a Toyota Hilux Dual Cab Ute 4 Cyl Petrol motor -stock standard — I hear the radio clearly but with crackling — rev the motor and the crackling stays at the same level — are you able to help as to a solution.

I have a chevy venture LS with a built in DVD player on the center top. What solution will i make for my built in DVD player to work?

I installed new Sony stereoevery thing works but the sound ,all the wires are good connected also we tried if we can use the headphone and we no had any sound either so is not wire or speakers problem. One set of wires are white and the other ones are a off white grey color one will have a black stripe down it make sure that your colors are all going to the right wires. I had a hard time distinguishing between the white and grey wires they both go to the speakers and if you accidentally cross one wire it could cause the system to not have sound.

I am having the same problem did you find out what was causing your problem I have already or works but no sound coming out of my Kicker box. I installed a Sony stereo in my outlander ,I have power but no sound ,do I need something else? One is the deck may have burned outputs on it. Caused by hooking up the remote wire to the wrong wire and burned the outputs of the stereo.

Second could be that your vehicle has a stock amplifier that came with the vehicle and you have to bypass that to get sound to your speakers. The best way to fix that is to run your own speaker wire to your speakers. If your not getting sound after you installed it and it powers up, try to hook up a speaker directly to the wires behind the stereo. It should play music? If not then your outputs are burned in your stereo.

I am having TROUBLE trying to get this aftermarket CD player in my 98 Mitsubishi Montero Sport SL. I bought the wiring harness but the factory harness has one more wire than it does. It is black with yellow stripe. All works but the audio. I have nissan sentra and i bought a slide-out screen it was working perfect but all now it keeps going off then it comes back on,it does that quit often,i dont want to get rid of the radio if i can figure out the problem. Got it working and hooked it up to my tweeters and 6 by 9 speakers as well.

Heard a crackling noise coming from the speakers, so i instantly knew it was a connection error. Took the HU out and corrected the noise and when i went to put my HU back in a blue wire with a red stripe touched my ground wire. Radio hasnt worked since that happend. I dont have a voltometer at the moment and have trouble shot everthing i could think of.

My vehicle is a 92 dodge b 5. Did you figure it out? I just had a. If ur HU has a fuse check it first then check the rest of your fuses in the panel. I have a 00 monte carlo I installed a aftermarket stereo and I spliced all the wires correctly to my knowledge, even looked up the stereo wireing diagrame NO POWER what so ever to the head unit.

I unhooked the battery and looked the wires over again and again. I began to doubt myself there are so many wires from the old STEREO To the NEW. The diagrame says the orAnge wire is 12 v battery and I had test light and checked every wire and none of them have power go ing to them.

Car battery died after installing new battery, infinity radio in my crossfire does not have sound, CD changes tracks, radio changes stations all displays working, balance display changes all functions except tone has??

Tried going back to original unit and still no power.

Is there a secondary fuse or in line fuse somewhere other than the fuse block? After installing new speakers in my FJ Cruiser the radio would suddenly turn off once in a while, usually after hitting a bump in the road. My radio is a Kenwood KDC-X I had the test lead connected to the wiring harness plug, so I think the problem must be with wiring harness plug on the radio. Has anyone ever had to replace a wiring harness plug because the pins in the plug no longer makes a perfect connection?

It also does this during music playback when playing higher notes. What can I do to correct this problem? Check your connections on the speakers them self make sure the metal clasp are snug around the speaker prongs that worked for me, if they are to loose they will make that popping sound.

I bought a Chevy Equinox LS model my radio is the old type I mean is not the screen touch type but my proble is the woofer is not working I have checked and realized there is no feed comng to the woofe.

Should I connect the antenna wire to body of the unit? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have a jeep grand cherokee laredo with the infinity gold system.

I removed the stock head unit and replaced it with a new kenwood kdc-btu. I purchased the metra wiring harness for it. After installation, everything works but the audio. I can adjust all of the settings. The siriusxm works fine, the steering wheel adapter works fine. It holds all of the memory; but I have no sound. I looked in the trouble shooting section and found that I can actually turn the speakers off or set which size of speakers are being used or there is even a setting for OEM for optimal use.

When I removed the original head unit, there were only 4 connections: Steering wheel control 2. Ground 3 and 4. It does have the infinity amp; and prior to removing the stock unit like 30 seconds prior everything worked fine as far as getting sound out of my speakers; and now nothing. I am positive that the speaker wires are hooked up properly between wiring harnesses.

In effect the only change is the head unit and nothing else has been bothered so I am fairly stumped as to what it could be if the settings on the new head unit are turned on for OEM speakers and there is no wire coming from the new head unit to connect to the amp turn on. I also upgraded the factory speakers to kickers. So my problem is every time I shut off my vehicle have to open door to completely shut off after a few seconds my speakers pop. Have an issue with my 04 Chevy Malibu Classic.

Before when it was wired incorrectly it worked fine. However it has just cut out and ever since the amp is showing warning light.

I have checked all the connections and even changed the amp and the same story again. Reading through different blogs I found one comment that said to check with power meter the ground and remote wire. Once I have done that, it looks like amp has been rebooted and it had the green light on and was working perfectly. However it has cut out again, and I done the same trick again but it never came back on.

It all seems to work well until it drops out, then back in every now and then. The time it takes to come back on is random too, but usually no more than a few minutes Any clue what may be causing this? Probly should check for a bad ground or call your local install shop for tips like soldering all your connects and to scrape paint around ground points and to avoid areas that have moisture or can spark.

The best way is to get a good installer to check your work or at least pull on the connect and make sure the ground doesnt move and get a 1farad capacitor to solve battery problems if any.

Hello, we recently installed a aftermarket Pyle touchscreen stereo to my car, previously had an aftermarket installed professionally and everything worked beautifully, but decided to install the second one ourselves, everything works except the subwoofer, could it be connector problem?

If the amplifier turns on, it could be a signal issue and the RCA wires may not be connected properly. Also check the amp fuses, and the in-line fuse that will be located somewhere along the power wire to the amplifier to make sure that nothing was blown. Hi I recently installed a multimedia car system in my Toyota hilux and I am having a problem with FM signal. The signal is fine when the car is not running and as soon as I turn on the engine the signal is lost.

I have the blue wire from the antenna connected to power and this also does not work. Just got subwoofer and amplifier installed. If i take out the fuse coming from the battery and put it back in it starts to work again.

Anybody know how to fix this? Any help is appreciated. Depending on the amp, the red light and the sequence of flashing will determine what the problem is. Check that the solid blue line from the metra antenna adapter harness is connected to the solid blue on the head unit. Sounds like your adapter is defective but no way to tell unless you know if it has steering wheel controls or a factory stereo amp? I have an 87 jeep wrangler with an aftermarket pioneer super tuner 3 deck.

Everything powers up and works great until I turn the car or accessory off. When I turn the switch back on, the stereo will not come back on.

The chassis is actually a After discussing with friends, I was told that the audio units whether Ford or otherwise or even for autos used to have a small fan for cooling purposes but this has been deleted on the units being built. Any information or advise will be appreciated.

Could be a wiring problem. Sounds like you may have wired the powered antenna solid blue to the OEM speaker amplifier if you have one. Check the wires behind the radio and make sure all of the connections are good and correct and that no wire is exposed. I have a similar problem.

I had subwoofer and after market radio installed from an car audio shop. It has been working fine for about 2 or 3 years until recently. Every time I drive over a bump or a dip, my power antenna shuts off and my subwoofer shuts off along with it; leaving just my radio and speakers still playing. But, after I go over another bump the antenna and subwoofer turn back on. Thus, they pretty much turn on and off randomly. I think the problem may be contributed to roads that I drive in New Orleans that are full of bumps and are rough.

I checked the appropriate fuses to make sure none were blown out but they seem to be all intact. I am planning to take my car to a repair shop.

What could be a possible reason that my antenna is not working so I can give the mechanics a better insight on what the problem could be? I am reaching out hoping some one may have any idea what could be causing all this…. I am technically minded and have certificates in electronics and IT but its got me boggled as with all installers involved.

Hi I have an 03 chevy tahoe and I just installed a jvc in dash. All wires according to spec are in correct configuration, could you point me in the right direction??

If you have a volt meter, make sure the red accessory and yellow constant wires have 12V. The accessory should only have 12V when you turn the car on. Constant should have 12V all the time. Did you purchase an adapting wire harness? Double check that your accessory and constant Red and Yellow wires are both connected to the corresponding 12V accessory and 12V constant wires of your car.

I bought a Dual XDMA aftermarket stereo to go in my Chevy Malibu also bought a gm adapter harness to do the wiring 08 also now when I plug all matching colors together nothing happens also has two orange wires that did not go with any wire on the stereo. The orange wires are typically for illumination and dimmer.

Sometimes you need a special harness for GMC and Chevrolets that are OnStar enabled, have Bose systems, and etc. I just installed new front and rear speakers kickers and deck pioneer in my KIA Sephia LS.

I hooked the speakers up before the deck, and they were working fine with the factory stereo. Now that I have installed the new deck the speakers are distorted. It sounds like the person is far away and there is not any bass really. Now I had to figure out the wiring colors since KIA likes to make their wires different colors than even their manual or diagram has they are.

Now KIA has a grounding wire in their harness AND they had one on a post behind. I just ran the grounding to the actual grounding wire instead of in the harness and just left the harness one unused. My last question would be Q3: Any help would be greatly appreciated!

First thing, I would double check whether your car has an OEM amplifier or not. If it does, it will explain the distortion that you are hearing and you will need a different wire harness that will adapt the RCA outputs of the aftermarket head unit to the stock amplifier speaker signal wires. Or, bypass the amplifier all together. To answer your other questions, as long as the ground wire is attached to ground, it is fine. Thank you very much for your help in this matter.

I believe that everything is connected right now. Sounds a whole lot better now! All it does is flicker on and off constantly. Does anyobe know how to fix this problem. It will not work. I just installed a Power Acoustik PTIDB in my Jeep Grand Cherokee and it will take and eject CDs and the touch screen will open and close, but when I open the touch screen nothing appears on the screen.

It just stays blank. Where could I have gone wrong? I have maxima with a pioneer radio in it. When the music is playing through all of the speakers, I get major feedback.

It sounds like all of the speakers are blown. But when you turn the balance all the way to the left, the music sounds normal.

When you shift the balance to the right, the feedback problem returns. I thought it was the factory amp so I bypassed it and ran the speakers directly from the radio. What should I do next? Which makes me think maybe a fuse supplying that red wire has blown or something.

Have you checked the fuses under the hood as well? If you have access to the manual, look for the list of fuses and locations and check both boxes in both the dash and under the hood. I have a ford f and i installed a boss bvb yesterday and my sound works but the screen wont come on at random times it will when i turn off the truck and on.

Hi I have a BMW e I brought the correct wiring harness to fit my car so I could plug it straight in. I had to also run a yellow wire from the harness block to my fuse box for constant power with a in-line fuse, which is part of it… It was all working great and obviously connect up right and also remembering what I was on so memory was also right. So I fitted it all into the car and when I tried to turn it on… Nothing!

So I took it all back out checked for a lose wire or a wire that may have come off and checked all the fuses. Everything was still spot on yet its still not turning on. I tried my Phillips in a friends car and it works straight away. So my after market head unit is not at fault either. I would suggest bypassing the existing accessory wire and finding another 12V accessory source.

If there is no power to the accessory wire, the unit will not turn on. Take your meter and try to find another source for the ignition wire that gives a 12V signal only when you turn the car on.

Also, go to http: There are some vehicles that need an adapter specifically for the accessory wire GM for example. Some accessory wires do not actually send any voltage, just a faint signal, which is not compatible with aftermarket units. Iv gone over the wiring several times and have found its wired correctly. Iv never had a problam with this equipment. Double check the amp turn on. I have a 04 mustang GT and I installed a power Acoustic stereo into it yesterday.

I checked the wires and the fuses and didnt find anything that looked like it would cause the sound to not play. Whats my next step. FYI its a PTIDB. Most head units if not all should have that wire coming from the unit. This will turn the amplifier on whenever you turn the key, just like your head unit. The other problem that you may have, if your Mustang for sure has an amplifier, is the adapting wire harness that you are using.

You should be using the Metra with RCAs for the speaker signal wires. Check the harness and make sure you have the correct one. I just installed my after market radio in my 04 Mustang and I got all the wires right and the plugs right. It worked fine then after a while it shut off and started blinking red around the power button.

I t took a minute and then finally came back on. Then about 2 songs later it did it again. No power at all. The screen comes on but it wont do anything else-nothing happens when i hit the source button, its one where the face plate slides down to put cds in it wont eject etc. You will need to double check the wires and their corresponding functions.

I have a sony stereo im trying to put back in my car i have all the wires connected by color but there is a illumination wire i dont know where it goes and when i plug it in theres power to the stereo but it wont do anything any suggestions? As far as the stereo power, does it light up and function correctly but not emit any sound? Or does it not power up at all. Match up the corresponding wires on this page: To your 05 ram wire colors: Located behind the glove box.

Head unit does not have amp of any sort. Curious if the channel in my stereo is disabled. So I have a 90 chevy lumina and a kenwood KDC-MPU cd receiver and got a wire harness for it. I wired it and it was all working great until a couple weeks later it fell out of the dash.

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for responding so quickly!. Unfortunately I do not have access to my car and the wires at this moment.

As soon as I am able to do that I will. The other option you have is to purchase a vehicle specific wiring harness that plugs into your existing wires and adapts them to an aftermarket form, making it easy to wire.

The wire harness for your Saturn Vue is here: This will make wiring as easy as putting red to red, yellow to yellow, purple to purple, etc. Let us know if this helps! Hi, I have a saturn vue and just purchased an aftermarket car stereo. When I hook up all of the right wires, the stereo is off when the car is off but when I turn the car on the stereo stays off.

I know there is a problem with the ignition switch wire so I believe I have just not connected those wires. I installed it last night and since then I have just turned the display off. I am worried that it will drain my battery. I want to be able attach the wire to another one that is controlled by the ignition.

See if this helps out at all:. Dark Green Car Radio Ground Wire: White Car Stereo Amp Trigger Wire: White Car Stereo Amplifier Location: Tan Left Front Speaker Negative Wire -: Light Green Right Front Speaker Negative Wire -: Dark Green Car Audio Rear Speakers Size: Brown Left Rear Speaker Negative Wire -: Dark Blue Right Rear Speaker Negative Wire -: According to this wiring diagram, you will attach the red wire on the aftermarket car stereo to the green wire on your saturn.

The constant power yellow wire on aftermarket units should not be ran to the cigarette lighter, however, if you are running two accessories red wire off of one cigarette lighter it should not be a problem. Wha if you have an older vehicle that did not have a 12v constant? If they are correct, you will need to trace back the accessory wire and find another location to tap into the accessory power to bypass the short.

Make sure you check all of your adapting wire harnesses for shorts if you are using any by shaking the wire. Another place to tap into is from the ignition itself, but again you will need a volt meter to determine which wire is which.

White Right Rear Speaker Negative Wire -: Think I might of figured it out gonna try in morning. Gonna volt test in morning before I get knee deep in wirering thanks for the help ill let ya know what happens.

But try it and get back with us either way! I have a jvc kdr when I have it hooked up right with constant and accessory when I drive the radio cuts on and off as if its losing power but if I hook both uP to constant it works fine. That is fine for me but alas my wife also drives car and I know she will leave the radio on killing the battery any suggestions?

I thought maybe running a line straight from the radio fuse to the accessory wire would that fix it ya think. I hope we find a solution, I need tunes in my Truck, Will let you know if I get mine cured.

The easiest way to fix it without digging too deep into troubleshooting is to find the closest cigarette lighter and tap into the 12v wire that powers the lighter. If you have a volt meter check which one is positive. It will have right around 12v when you turn the ignition. Use that as the accessory power red wire on the back of the unit. I have a 98 chevy s10 and have a pioneer avh p DVD stereo.

When I turn the truck off the stereo stays on. I need help figuring out how to hook it up to the ignition switch. Remove the remote wire. Mine used to do the same and a car audio tech told me to take it out, it solved the problem. I have opened my fuse box under my feet in my truck, and plugged the power wire into the fuse place, then used the fuse to pinch it back into place, it works as long as it is the radio fuse. Cut the red wire a few inches from the radio and take the cut wire attached to the radio and tap it into the yellow wire.

If you do this, you will have to manually turn the radio on and off whenever you want to use it, and it will no longer turn on and off with the vehicle. Hi I have a bug and I just got a nose stereo. All of the wiring is right and everything is connected but. I was having an issue with my stereo not turning on as well like it was getting no power. The original issue was the memory kept resetting every time I turned the truck off. Now I do know about the yellow wire should not be hooked to any constant power but when I disconnected it from the Reds I got nothing.

It only worked connected to the reds but erased memory every time shut the truck off. When I got into the fuse panel I notice the fuses were half of what they were supposed to be. A lot of them were wrong. But maybe this will help someone else out?

Wiring is all the same, pin configuration might be different. But the dash kits and adapting wire harness eg. Metra will not adapt. I have put in 2 aftermarket decks. The first deck, had power, was all lit up but I couldnt turn up or down the volume or change the source. NO BUTTONS worked at all. I thought it was an internal problem with the unit, so i changed it. I put in a Sony Xplode that i had from one of my other cars. Worked great until today! I couldnt turn it down. I couldnt change the source.

NOTHING so i popped out face plate. I hit the reset button. I unpluged it all and tried again. Something is leading me to believe that its on the car side.

I just dont know how two completely different decks could have the exact same symptoms. Or wrong face plate all together. Started my car sounded great. Drove home was still working fine. The next time i went out, there was no power to the subs but the amp was still on. What could be wrong?? I didnt fry the amp or the subs they never smoked, smelled, or nothing.

I have a similar problem with my Silverado. Used Gm adapter to install. I have a dodge ram and am trying to install a deh 23ub. Everythimg is connected and Ive checked power. The deck lights on, I can change source, and even control volume from deck.

It just isnt making sound…. Dvd stereos have to be connected to a parking switch. This means you can only watch dvd when parked. Your email address will not be published. MY CART No products in cart.
