Platinum Member Username: Nyyfan13Northern VA Post Number: 11588 Registered: Jul-06 | Im about to stab a child right now. Last thursday i get in my car, and put in my new cd i made and the HU comes back and says cd text error. No big deal so i take it out and try again and still doesnt work so i try with another cd that i know for sure works cause id been using that cd for months. i put it in and it doesnt work but finally my new cd works after a few attempts. Fast forward to this morning. i get in my car, turn it on and my HU doesnt power on with no sound. turn my car off and turn it back on but this time it powers for 2 seconds and music plays then it cuts off BUT the music keeps playing. so i turn off my car and turn it back on and again so power or music. so i try another 3-4 times overall this morning and everytime, it fails. im bitter and im tired and im an hour early to class. been a sh1tfest of a morning. what the hell happened? |

Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, WI Post Number: 4083 Registered: Mar-07 | Yeah do what Chad said and try the reset button. Did you say that the music keeps playing even when the HU has no power?? It's gotta have power if the music is playing....the display is maybe fu<ked. } |

Platinum Member Username: Nyyfan13Northern VA Post Number: 11589 Registered: Jul-06 | Let's see if I can be more detailed this time around. The reset button does nothing unfortunately. One time this morning the music actually played and the HU turned on for a matter of seconds then cut off BUT the music kept playing. After this happened, I turned the car off and turned it back on and it just did nothing. Every time after that, nothing happens. No lights turn on and no music plays. But when I turn my car off, the faceplate still slides down like it always does. It might be under warranty. I'm gonna look for my receipt and talk to Pioneer and see what can happen. |

Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, WI Post Number: 4086 Registered: Mar-07 | If you've had it longer than a year its not under warranty unfortunately. |

Diamond Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 23501 Registered: Oct-05 | yanks the cd's are so yesterday now. get an ipod adaptor. |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 4938 Registered: Mar-06 | Ipod is so dated....USB is the future Also Ipod has a low bitrate format, where as USB can accommodate any format the head unit can process. Sonds like its time to look into a new unit. |

Silver Member Username: Armykyle1Ms Us Post Number: 737 Registered: Dec-08 | Most HU's by pioneer no days are junk, I should have known better, found a nice JVC with 5v pre out built in blue tooth, 250 bucks |

Silver Member Username: WickedbassNashville, Tn Post Number: 853 Registered: Jan-08 | ^Meh. I've always been a fan of Alpine myself. Just personal opionon tho. |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 4942 Registered: Mar-06 | try changing the ribbon first, its a cheap test. Then make sure the HU has good ground, and mite as well wrap the rcas and ground them while your in there.. My old x590 screen died, but warranty for the win. Got it back, ebayed it, then got the x890. Over a year and a half now, And if your getting a new unit... http://cgi.ebay.com/DENON-CAR-CD-PLAYER-DCT-A100-ALPHA-24-PROCESSING-DCT-A1_W0QQ itemZ300345102108QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Audio_In_Dash_Receivers?hash=item45edf68 f1c&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Thats some bad hat. |

Most they've put out in the past decade suffer from the same problems, poor quality components. Alpine FTW JVC if USB versitility is your thing. |

Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, WI Post Number: 4091 Registered: Mar-07 | My 780 is still going strong with no problems at all. |

Gold Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI Post Number: 3091 Registered: Oct-07 | actually I think I figured out your problem yanks. Mine does this every once and a while too. Just push on the faceplate in some spots. I think that the piece it plugs into from the faceplate onto the deck must not have a very solid connection. See if that helps. |
