It was too hot to touch, that concerned me and it started making scratchy noises.

It would have left a blister if I had touched it for too long. Do you know what the Ill. wire and the Mute wire get wired to?
You don't have to use those wires. Some cars aren't wired to take advantage of them. the mute would be for a handsfree type cell phone, it would mute the stereo for the incoming call. The ill wire, or illumination is wired to the car to dim the hu when the lights are turned on and off. I don't know why your hu is that hot, are you trying to run a strang set of speakers, or did you try to bridge your hu or something?

I've had all my units get pretty warm, from normal installs, but its hard to determine how hot yours really got, over the internet.. like stated above.. how did you wire your speakers, do you have anything else running off the same source that you installed as well?

Hey guys, thanks for your help so far. This is my first time using the forum and I appreciate your input. I figured out that the noise cam from hooking a sub up directly to the out put of the HU. That might have caused it to get hotter than normal too, I'm not sure, but I disconnected the sub until I can get an amp for it. Just installed the radio as normal and its operating well. Two quick questions:
1. My dash lights and interior lights aren't working now and I think it is because I left some of the extra wires that were connected with the old stereo, unconnected. When I figure out which wire it is, is this where I would connect the ill. wire from the pioneer?
2. I don't have the manual for the pioneer so how do I turn on the function to select aux as a source. I turned it on by accident the other day but the radio has been reset since then from disconnecting the battery.
Cheers!

?
did I understand that correctly? sub to the HU's speaker outputs?
check your fuses for the lights issue, you probably fried the dimmer circuit in the car.

yeah, well I was just seeing if I could get any sound out of the sub, my knowledge of car stereo systems is limited.
