[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8223164, member: 659121"] An easier way to reset the factory unit would be to remove your Battery Terminal(s) and let it sit for a few hours (generally would reset within 30mins-1hour) but leaving it overnight, etc.. is always a safe bet. Of course be sure if your radio has some code to enter when it loses power that you know it,.. some cars have this "theft prevention feature". But, to reset a deck I personally find it easier to unhook the batter rather than pull the deck.. unless your deck is unbelievably easy to get out. Great idea by Side Show though,.. it could be some strange setting in the deck,.. who knows. Is the factory system amplified (external factory amp?) -- If so, the amp may be getting too hot after an hour and causing this. It is also possible the headunit is doing the same thing (they have amps in them too). Also check your ASL on the headunit in the settings.. (Audio Sound Leveling.. or something similar to that) -- It basically auto adjusts the speaker output based on perceived "speed". This feature can sometimes mess with your levels. When you turn the car off and back on, does the sound come back ? [/QUOTE]
