Pioneer DEH-4550BT Displaying amp error code

[willz89]

ok, so I managed to get my hands on a pioneer headunit pretty recent model too, got it working on the VZ, after blowing fuses like mad. anyway, after I hooked it up, it does not play sound, after 50 seconds it begins flashing Amp error code for ages, will not return to its previous state, will not respond until I open the door and it switches off, im stuck, anybody know what I can do ? cheers and thankyou

Disconnect the speaker wires at the head unit. If it still does it with them disconnected, the internal amp IC has been blown.

If it stops showing it, you have a speaker wire shorted somewhere.

Thank you stone x I will look at it soon I'm feeling you might be right about the amp tho what happens from there is it a faulty unit ?

It's pretty simple for a technician to replace it so you'd have to send/take it to a Pioneer authorized service agent. Use this page to find your nearest.

Part should be around $20 plus their labour if it isn't under warranty.
