Hey guys.

I have a Pioneer P80MP and since yesterday the big knob in the middle only works to lower and turn up the volume. I can't foward songs with it or change folders or even go to the main menu....

Is it broken or I can't just somehow reset it or something ???

Thanks guys I really need help....

I have no direct experience with Pioneer's HUs but at a guess i would say try resetting it and see if that clears up the issue (there should be a small reset button, likely recessed into the faceplate somewhat, to be found on the face of the HU somewhere)

Don't thank me yet, friend! I haven't a clue as to whether or not that will cure the problem but certainly it is a good place to start, I reckon. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have had that problem before with my Pioneer HU, I just take the faceplate off and clean the pins on it where it joins the HU.

x2 reset might clear things up .

wierd do the controls work from the remote? i havent tried the newer decks check the owners manual make sure the deck doesnt have some sort of "lock" that you accidently turn on .the rest button is on the lower right hand corner of faceplate i think

Thanks guys.

I appreciate all of your help.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'll try everything before taking it back to the store, where i bought the extended warranty on it.

I don't wanna take it back because what they'll do is send my HU back to Pioneer to get fixed and all that time it takes to come back i'll be without a HU in my car:crap:

That'll really ****....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif
