Audio discontinuous on the new unit Kenwood

[ukrsindicat]

I just bought Kenwood KDC -BT945U. I installed it fairly easy.

However, for some reason audio is playing in 1 second music/silence intervals. At first I thought that it was only on the bluetooth, but then I tried radio and got the same result.

I am not sure where this is coming from.

I appreciate any response!

Read the manual Call Kenwood and ask. It could be a short. it will play the shut down and play and shut down. Double check you wires.

Radio actually stays on, but the audio came in 1 second intervals. I also noticed that when I pull out the radio and adjust its sitting, it would start playing without any problems. But then, at some point it would go back to do it again. I still have not pin point when and why it starts, so any ideas are welcome.

F-ing wierd.

Loose/bad connection somewhere behind the deck, the fact that it plays normal when you shift it around is pretty much a guarantee of a wire that is loose or not contacting well when it is mounted in the dash.

agreed. your connections should have insulated crimp connectors or solder and heat shrink. each connection properly secured and insulated. you should be able to lightly tug on your connections and not have them come apart.

if you can see any bare copper wire strands, you need to redo your connections. electrical tape or twist-on wire nuts are NOT sufficient.
