Installed a new head unit and it runs fine for around 10-15mins then sound goes low and the unit shuts off. The only way i can turn it back on is if i turn the ignition off and back on again. This happens all the time.

WTF is going on?

The technician who looked at the headunit reckons he tested it for 5hrs without problems so it could be a wiring problem but what where and how?

Thats what they always say IF they have messed up. May be a faulty headunit, could be an issue with the power wire used isn't supplying enough power to the unit, if its a really feature packed headunit.

Does it still shut off, even if you arnt playing any music on it? or is it only when you are playing music?

Also do you have any Aux. Inputs going into the deck?

And have any amps connected?

Your speaker wires could also be shorting out causing the deck to go into protection mode, however i think this is unlikely if it is a non random event.

I'm not sure about when i'm not playing music but yes when i play music on either CD or Radio it shuts off. The speakers aren't shorting.

Thing is it's not like it shuts off randomly, it does it basically at the same time all the time. No aux, amps or inputs hooked up but the unit does have a amp pre out that must be hooked up in order for the unit to operate.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔

      Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?

      Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.

      Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
