I am in the process of switching my system to my new car but have yet taken out my HU (clarion dxz945mp). A friend came over wanted to see the HU work so i turned on my car and turned it on and within a couple of minutes smoke was pouring out of the HU and a horrible electrical burning smell filled my car. Whats happening? pretty sure it still works afraid to turn it back on. Do i need a new HU? Please help? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

could be anything, it is electronics, only way to tell is pull radio and chek wires for any scars and test for shorts in them.

how much do you want to spend, and check fuses on the radio and in the car, both boxes even under the hood.
