[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 5751541, member: 594758"] No. It's a design flaw among the pioneers. They call it a "pico fuse". For some bizzare reason pioneer designers decided to put tiny fuses on the grounds of the RCA outputs. So if you plug or unplug the RCA's when the head unit is powered on, the fuses pop and forever after cause a ground loop issue resulting in engine whine noise. The fuses cannot be replaced by the user, and you have to send it in to the warranty repair or pay if it's out of warranty. Stupid. There is no reason for it. Only pioneer does this. It has caused problems of thousands of users, and they won't fix it. Yet people keep buying thier stupidly designed radios. Fawking pioneers. [/QUOTE]
