I think the big question is, how can you prove it wasn't broken in the first place?

Yeah. What he said. ^ iirc it had something to do with plugging in the rca's before ANY power was wired to the unit....and also obviously cutting all power before rcas were removed...I think the fuse was very tiny, hence the name micro fuse, and could blow with a slight breeze in the wrong direction. maybe the seller had no idea about this and unplugged it w/out cutting power and just figured it worked fine.

You took him a head unit . He was just paid to install the head unit you brought in to him. Once installed the head unit has noise problems ( as said pioneers have become infamous for ) The installer isn't responsible. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Ok, i need some advice. I bought a used but in mint condition pioneer deh-780mp about a month ago. The seller guaranteed that it was in 100% perfect working order.
I took it to my local car audio shop to have it installed and as soon as the guy installed it we could tell it had some major ground noise issues. I took it home thinking i could ground the RCA's to get rid of it and it helped ALOT but didnt quite get rid of all the noise. While i was grounding the RCA's i noticed that he used the factory ground wire as ground for the unit instead of the bare metal frame of the vehicle like the manual specifies.

I'm at the point now where its bugging me and im gonna have to take it to a repair shop to have it fixed. I think its a blown fuse as a result of improper installation. Would it be possible to have the installation shop pay for my repairs since it was not grounded properly or am i shi*t outa luck?

how is the factory ground, not the proper ground location?its not the greatest, but its factory.....

No, the problem develops while playing with your system wiring with power to the unit.

ummmmmm No.

Thanks for playing though.
