pioneer HU won't play ipod.

[midwestdivision 10+ year member]

i have aquick question about my head unit. its a pioneer super tunner 2(mosfet 50wX4). it is mp3 ready with the aux rca jacks in the back. when i bough the car, it was all set up and ready to play an mp3. well whenever i hook the cable up to my ipod and i go to AUX on my hu, it only plays the songs very quiet and i am not able to adjust the sound level or hear base. what could be the problem?? also to remove this hu, can you use to knives or flatheads on each side and pull? thanx.

turn the volume up

how do you have your ipod connected to your HU? Most likely, you need to turn the volume on the IPOD up to full.

ya i tried that, but no luck as much as i turn the hu volume up, the speakers will only play as loud as the ipod will allow it, which isnt very loud at all and there is no emphasis on the music like bass. connections wrong in the back of the hu??

the headunit should have come with two tools designed specifically to remove the unit.

1) is the ipod volume at full? i'm not talking about the headunit volume

2) HOW DO YOU HAVE YOUR IPOD ATTACHED TO YOUR HEADUNIT?

it is just one plug and only fits one way......can't be wrong

thanks for the fast reply! ya ive had the voume all the way up on the ipod and also my psp. still no luck...you can barely hera it going down the road. its been like this ever since i bought my car 4 yrs ago...ive never pulled the hu, the the rcas be plugged into there wrong locations?

its just one aux plug coming out of the back of the hu that goes into the ipod or psp. and the volume is all the way up on both. but turning the hu volume up wont affect the sound at all. ive looked behind the hu by removing the glove box and can see the that aux cable plugs into an rca cable that Y's from the hu into the aux cable.

so you're saying the headunit is definitely playing music from the source, but if you turn the hu all the way up to max or all the way down to zero, the volume of the music coming out of the speakers does not change? If you set your hu volume at zero and music is still playing, i'm confused.

 

[dan7532 10+ year member]

again, what model is your headunit? do you have an owner's manual for it?

 

[midwestdivision 10+ year member]

haha yaup. but if i'm on zero voulume on the hu, it wont play, but if im on volume 1 or higher, it will play at the same volume thru the speakers. i know its confused me siince day one. never bothered me till now since im trying to figure out my amp's current overload problem, might as wel try to get em both working!

stereo model# pls

is it plugged into rcas on radio directly or do u have the cbr-10 aux input that plugs into the units blue (9 pin) harness input

i cant remember an older puioneer with rca audio inputs and i have owned about 60 different ones from 97up

sorry no owners manual. it came with the car. the headunit says its a supertuner2. with EEQ, mp3 ready, mosfet 50wX4. id say its roughly a 04/05 model, so its not a newer one.
