heya guys, i got a vt berlina i got a pioneer head deck in it with amp sub and unsure of the dpeakers, think they are just stockies, but heres the problem, im driving along n the sound cuts out, head deck says its still playing but no sound,i jump on the breaks to avoid somone wjho cuts me off n it comes back on, goes off again on normal driving, does this on and off for a few days then just stopped compleatly, im unco as all hell so pulling it out will be a problem for me but ill try if u guys n gals think its fixable, any ideas??? Mark
The sound would have been cutting in and out because one of the speaker wires would have been earthing. If they earth for long enough, the little amp inside can cook and stop sound completely or kill the unit so it won't turn on. I'd get the head unit checked by Pioneer and have someone who knows what they're doing to check your wiring
try getting onto a mate who knows a LOT about it....tracking down an intermittent earth short is a bitch.
Doesn't a VT have Molex plugs in the doors? Need to be a mastermind to get through those!...although I'm no mastermind I think I have the art perfected down to 20 minutes per plug
Got a new headeck and i pulled the old one n found this little black box with a nice silver prob touching the metal of the head holder, thing is, no idea where the **** the plug that goes into it went o.0 found it outs live when i poked it with somthing metal tho o.0 so yeah, it has a switch into it n the little box is bout 5 cm'sx 5 cm's any ideas or should i take it out n stomp on it becouse im gettign a bit ****ed that i cant fix this myself >.<
Wish i could, mum lost the USB cable to the camera its just a little black box with a wireing diagram on it and has 5 pins and 12 v tyco writen on it wiring diagram has 3 parallel circuit with a resister a switch and somthing i dont recognise, box with a horazontal line through it the head deck goes to my amp then to my sub and speakers from what i can see, i dident hook it up, so im not sure but thats the way it looks no sp-eakers running off the head deck just power a thin red wire (not sure what that does) and this box its a bit of a mess Mark
Can you make it fault with the car stationary? You need to see if the amp is turning off when the fault occurs.
we really need to see what that box is to help you out...the only thing I can think of that is Tyco and is mobile electronics is GPS tracking devices but thats about it....I'm sure they have other **** out there.
i justwent stuff it n took it into a sterio instal place, there gunna do it friday so yeah, get me some tunes back in my car ^_^i misses it thanx fior your help tho guys Mark
