Talk to Pioneer......they might do the one time courtesy fix.

They base the decision on when the deck was manufactured, is what they told me.

Worth a shot.

I had it done on one of mine a while ago, and as far as I know, its still going just fine. Ask teebone, I traded it to him.

ill talk to brad and see if i can get an amp to try out when i go up there tomorrow.

 

[req 5,000+ posts]

get one of these;

3.5MM STEREO TO 2 RCA PLUGS

then get an MP3 player, WALKMAN, or portable CD player - any kind of OTHER device that is portable and can output music.

insert listed cable in music device, and insert RCA ends into amplifier - completly bypassing the headunit and the RCA's.

if you still hear noise, your amp is fuxd. if you do not hear noise - proceed to your headunit, and pull that all out.

get some of these;

and hook your RCA's from the portable music device into the RCA's for your car that go to your amp, and play music.

if you do not hear noise, your RCA's and AMPS are fine, if you do you are left with the headunit.

i would then proceed to attempt to feed the headunit via a relay directly powered via + battery terminal using the ignition line as a trigger.

hope that helped.

ill try the first one sense i have that cable, to make 100% get the amp turned on. Connect all cabling and listen... Will it play music from the MP3 player or am i just hopin to hear nothing?

i dont think its the RCAs because ive tried 3-4sets between the CD players... and i dont want it to be the cd player, because that would be shitty to have the same problem with 2 different units.

Atleast the amp i can get warenteed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

you'll hear music through the mp3. you'll have to turn on your headunit so your amp will turn on, just unplug the rca's and plug in the ones from the ipod and play a song. may have to turn the gains up so you can hear it well

i didnt know i could do that, makes ya wonder what the point of a cd player is lol.

oh yea... played crystal clear //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif , ima hit up walmart to pic up the male/female conveters in a bit.

how is the ground on your headunit? if it isn't the rca's try regrounding your headunit directly to the battery. you can run the ground wire out your window temperarilly (god i **** at spelling //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif )

i dont think i have a run long enough, but i did try a new ground with the last cd player that way and it didnt help..

Im almost to the point of takin it to a shop and sayin "ill give ya $100 if u can get rid of the noise" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif i hate goin to shops //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

im getting depressed as well, my friend, although probably not as much as you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

tomorrow i think im gonna directly ground the headunit back to the battery

 

[davidfre21 5,000+ posts]

well failure number 2, no sounds from my RCAs either...

I guess tomarow morning ill try a new run of power/ground wires, doubt it will help.

other than that, it leaves we with the relay idea someone had... be awesome if i could get a better explanation of that.

Have you tried using a relay to turn the radio on? You can use a relay to feed the deck battery power instead of noisy ign. power. I bet you a dollar to donuts that the noise is coming from your IGN wire to your deck. I can tell you how to wire it up if you wanna try it.

could i just put a constant 12v to the ing wire to test if thats the problem before i go out and buy a relay?

you can run the yellow and red wire directly to the battery positive for testing purposes.
