[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8220601, member: 659121"] I pressed reset numerous times in all configurations.. No go. The front face will not open.. It just beeps... That's it. Transporting bolts from the player? Are these bolts in it when it's new? -- Because this headunit has been in this car since 2009. The original owner installed it (or had it installed) 5 years ago.. It just came with the car. Wiring is fine. I Only tapped into the remote, and front speaker wires .. and cut and capped the rear speaker wires. No major 're-wire" back there really. My front speaker wires are run with 14g speaker wire up to the headunit.. and spliced in to factory wiring. The rear speakers are all dedicated wire straight to amp,.. Sub is dedicated wire as well. I have 3 sets of RCA's off the back of the headunit.. Front , Rear, and Sub - Preouts. As for the screen.. This is part of the reason I'm considering letting Bestbuy install it. I can obviously install a headunit from all I've done. This isn't a case of it never worked after I touched it. What I think happened is When I was handling it, and putting trim pieces that go on the SIDE next to the console/headunit.. I had to really bang on them hard to get them into place. I can only think that force killed it. I've read online where people with these pioneer head units have hit some potholes and such and theirs died.. and did the same beeping. They took it in for service and it was toast. The pioneers are really not that well made.. or shall I say, they are prone to premature death + Blowing Pre-amp which results in engine whine. Notorious for RCA pre-out noise/ground issues. [/QUOTE]
