My friend has a Pioneer DEH-9800BT, and he just told me this..

"I had my deck on while my car was on acc for like 30 minutes. then i started up the engine, and then the deck wouldn't power up"

could he of possibly blown a fuse? If so, how would I check?

he also said this

* (12:04:39 AM): the guy who installed it

* (12:04:47 AM): said he forgot to put in this black power thing

*(12:04:51 AM): and to have him install it asap

*(12:04:54 AM): but he never did

This post made me lol IRL...

All I can think a "black power thing" is the ground, but it wouldn't of turned on without a ground as far as I know.

EDIT: Re read the post, I see you said it was turning on with ACC. Well then yes, the ground is not connected, and for those 30 minutes it was being powered off the battery. Whoever did the install is a goober.

Radio antenna works as ground too.
