Music keep skipping, WTF is wrong?

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

Like the title says.

I have a Pioneer Avic 900BT with an ipod adapter

It was playing fine n all that until a few days ago.

Even when I am playing ipod, the music would quickly skip at least once almost every minute or two.

I switched to CD and it still does the same.

One thing I have noticed, when my vehicle is not moving at stop light or parked. the music would play smoothly, but once I get moving, it would start skipping.

Any ideas why? I am thinking it is possible that there is a loose connection? but how can it be a loose connection if it reads ipod and cds just fine at first place?

Need help! this is driving me crazy!

Thanks in advance.

My amp and sub is not in the vehicle due to me working on the new false floor. so the subwoofer's RCA is lying exposed in the back while it is still hooked to the HU. Can this be the cause of music skipping?

I doubt it but it has to be something??

does it have gps. i know if you have a destination in and the volume all the way down on the voice for the nav it will skip but its cuz the person is talking and you just dont hear here. make sense?

yes the HU stays on no problem and yes speakers are powered by the HU

Yes it makes sense, hmm. Never thought of that. Actually, I think this makes a lot of sense! I think I'll check it out tomorrow morning. I wasnt using GPS but I might have left it on something.

vibration? idk lets see what the other peps say!

Thats what I thought at first. but the point is the sub isnt even in the vehicle so vibration isnt that bad at all. AND since when the ipod skips due to vibration lol? From my experience, it only skips with CDs due to vibration, not ipods.

are the rca subouts exposed and shorting with eachother in the back that could possibly cause it... try to tape the ends and see if that helps

**** man no wonder

so I am supposed to keep the rcas from grounding(touching metal) or keep each rca output separated or taped up?

Only on a fawking pioneer because of the worlds stupidest ground pico fuse design flaw.

Yet another thread where this flaw has caused the user problems. Please kill me if I ever buy a pioneer HU. Clearly I must have had brain damage before the purchase.

I see.

I never really understood how the interconnects work ha.. So didnt know they could cause a short

Interesting. I never was aware of this.

So you mean it only happens with Pioneer HUs, none other?

Lets say if I am in the same situation but running a different HU, I wouldnt be experiencing any short?
