its a long story but to make it short, i got my HU through a friend who works at circuit city, but then i couldnt get it installed by them so i did it myself in the parking lot. they didnt give me the new DIN to fit the HU so its just in with the stock DIN. the only thing connected to the back of the HU is the antenna wire, and the wire harness. no black wire going to a ground point or anything. im not sure if there was an extra line given to me for this or professional installation does it for you. should i finally get it professionally done?

Maybe I misread what you said, but did you say your headunit isn't grounded??? :confused

i dont have any amps hooked up to it. it is just the head unit powering the stock speakers. BLEH. any more ideas?

i had this problem once in one of my vehicles. It was my battery dying bc my alternator couldnt handle my amp. So maybe u should check that out...

but i never had this problem before. should i have had a ground wire come with the HU and do it myself?

Well that right there could be your problem

by MrSo0h0o » Wed Oct 27, 2004 4:21 pm

coming from the HU itself? there is none. i did a ghetto self-install.. didnt even get a new DIN

Just try looking behind the the head unit and find a black wire that is screwed into some metal of the car.

by MrSo0h0o » Wed Oct 27, 2004 2:56 pm

no, its a relatively new HU(Pioneer DEH-P5500MP). i will try and see if it is the pins that are dirty.

is there any way to find out online where my ground is? i have a 1993 camry

Check the pins on the faceplate and on the deck itself, if they are dirty and not making a good contact this can happen.
