Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5202 Registered: Jul-06 | I guess we need to steer clear of Pioneer head units now...there's way too many issues with RCA grounding and I hear about them going out like Charlies every once in a while.Maybe you should get a Sony Xplod HU |
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 6642 Registered: Jun-04 | I told rep at best buy about the issue since they carried them....I know I wont buy one |
Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 4007 Registered: Jun-05 | wtf i wish i heard this b4 i bought it im going for the warranty on it right now through woofersetc.com see how it goes |
Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 5168 Registered: Jan-06 | havnt heard of those going out, wonder what happend. open it up and post a picture. and rob, the alt whine noise is a common problem but is easy to fix if you know what your doing, you just need to solder in a resistor in place of the pico on the board and it fixes it like new, iv done a few units now and will be happy to do anyone elses. but should not determine the buying factor, if you hook everything up right anyway you shouldnt have a problem with it, charlies case seems rare to me. |
Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 4010 Registered: Jun-05 | i just dont get it because it worked at first and then it just started taking a crap on me lol i emailed them waiting to hear back but mat i dot want to open it up for obvious reasons right now but ill see wat they say and if i dont have to send it back ill take it apart |
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5207 Registered: Jul-06 | Head units shouldn't have grounding problems when they're brand new Mat.Chad had issues with the grounding and so have tons of other Ecoustics members.When you buy something that's brand new should you have to fix it? |
Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 5174 Registered: Jan-06 | no i agree their design on that part sucks, they should have just used a floating ground not a damn pico. but other then that they are nice units. and like i said not to hard of a fix. |
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5209 Registered: Jul-06 | It's not a matter of being hard to fix or not.When I buy something new I don't expect that I have to fix it when it's brand spankin new |
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 3597 Registered: Jan-06 | Ya but do you have all the needed power wires hooked up? Isn't there more than one for Pioneer, not that I would know or anything I myself can't stand them but most of there problems stent from the fact that there customers are self-installing them, lOl. BTW Bestbuys guys are some of the most stupid people I have ever met, seriously. I once told a dude from our BestBuy that I have a 300A alternator, a single 15 running on 4500+ watts and he told me it was impossible and he wanted to see. I told him ok lets make a deal, you show me two 300A ANL fuses that I needed and I will show you my car, he was like ANL, 300A? I laughed and about-faced my @ss out the door, retardsss. Polo. |

Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 4011 Registered: Jun-05 | marc it worked at one time it worked for about 2 months then it started acting up i rewired it and then it just didnt work again i followed the diagram exactly. I even took the acc wire and the power wire and put them on the battery now that would make it atleast illuminate the screen but it didnt do nething so idk |

Silver Member Username: KaerfplSpencerport, NY USA Post Number: 617 Registered: Jun-06 | I had this problem with my Pioneer DEH-5900 (older version) in my Jimmy S-15 and it turned out that the horn fuse was the problem. Replaced the fuse and it worked again! |
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 3287 Registered: Jul-06 | ^^^^^ Thats probably because in those vehicles the interior lights and some other things are on the same circuit as the horn. |
Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2924 Registered: Mar-06 | You want me to come look at it? Pm me if so. Otherwise. good luck . |
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5238 Registered: Jul-06 | Yea...I had problems with my high end JVC too...for some reason it shorted out the factory power wire.So I ran a thicker gauge wire and a fuse that was equal to the draw or rating on the HU and it's been fine ever since.Crappy stock wiring... |
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 6657 Registered: Jun-04 | its pretty bad when I end up saying id rather buy a kenwood cd player over the pioneer. By the way thats all I care for that kenwood makes. |
Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 4016 Registered: Jun-05 | marc ill wait to see what woofersetc says about a warranty but if they dont say nething u can take a look if u want lol i just wish i knew where my dmm was it would be simple if i had that |
