[QUOTE="tferrari, post: 8402976, member: 666544"] Hi All I have a very strange volume problem that I hope someone can shed some light on. I just bought my first f150 (2006) and it had a crummy aftermarket radio in it with no steering wheel controls I wanted steering controls so decided to go back to factory unit. Off I shoot to ebay, buy it now, nice virtually new unit, single cd. Unit arrived, installed, all worked great (including volume) but no steering controls. I searched the forums and found that to keep steering wheel controls, they advise sticking to a 6 cd changer. Back to ebay, bought a 6 cd changer. Arrived, installed. strange problem when I plug in the power volume was high, steering controls works, scan etc, BUT when I decrease volume EITHER on the steering control or the unit control it wont go back up past one and a half notches. It goes all the way down using either wheel or unit control but will not raise above 1.5 notches which is far too quiet I figured unit was faulty so back to ebay again, bought my 3rd unit (different model number than previous unit, I am starting a collection of them now Click the image to open in full size. ) unit arrived, installed, same dang problem as before. I'm really stumped here, clearly its not a faulty unit but can anyone tell me why neither the radio control nor the steering wheel control will increase it above 1.5 notches? (on the 1st unit, the radio control fully increased it and decreased it) could it be something to do with messed up wiring where the aftermarket was installed? (plug looks normal) or am I missing something obvious here. any advice appreciated, terry [/QUOTE]
