    Default Crappy Stock VZ Stereos

    Hey

    Anyone else had problems with their stock stereos? I have and my mate with the VZ SS has also had alot of issues. Mine is in today, the system cuts out regularly and defaults all to the front right speaker. Also skips ridiculously.

    Wont be in there for long, ripping it out in May for tv nav dvd etc. I know Blaupunkt make great sound gear, why are these systems so crap? I guess its all in the installation. :b:

    yep, i have had the problem where everything defaults all to the front right speaker. i turn it off and then back on and its fixed......dunno what causes it, but it seems to be when i press the mode button on the steering wheel sometimes.
