okay crazy problem with the 06 HU on the tc

if i leave my HU on when i shut off the engine, the next time, (morning, cold ones usually), i turn on my engine and i want to lower or raise the volume using the volume ****, this will skip tracks forward if i raise volume, and back tracks if i lower volume

i have to shut off the HU by powering off, then turning it back on... anyone experiencing this?

 

Funny, mine did the same thing..I didn't really care cause I kept it for all of 2 weeks.

 

mine does the same. what a pain in the @$$

 

mine does the same thing every now and then. if i use the **** on the Unit sometimes it changes tracks. Not often tho. I thought it was just me.

 

why hasn't anyone gone back to their dealer and demanded another headunit? that's obviously a defect.. the 05's had the problem not even playing cd's.. and wouldn't eject them..

 

Happens to me also. I've just been putting off going to the dealer about it. I think 06 xA/xB owners have had the same problems too.

Here's the thread about it:

switch to aftermarket HU! this problem will never be fixed! Its kinda sad when the stock HU is made by pioneer? I didnt want to keep going back to the dealer to fix the radio! I got the 6-cd changer and only used the 1st disk since the rest of them dont work! Poopy HU's!

 

For me its such a minor problem because i usually use the steering wheel to adjust volume. I should go to the dealer because thats what the warranty is for.
But I dont want to be the boy who cried wolf. You know go in for a very small thing and ____ them off, then for some reason have a major problem and them be butts about it.

Maybe I am wrong but this is something I guess I will deal with until I can afford a doubledin screen.

 

i'd take i to the dealer but i don't have time, i was trying to lok for a quick fix atm T_T but yeah i'll take it back!! will let u guys know the results when i do

 

okay, the results were
mm great, obviously they wouldn't find a problem because it's during the day. It only happens when the temperature is very cold, like in the early morning -_-

o wellz

 

update!
it is happening again for cold weather after a year, i will record it with my camera and bring it into the shop to prove that it is happening so i can replace my HU

anyone else expericing this by now?

 

Everyone in the cold has or will experience this.

 

I get 'Error 4'm messages on my MP3 cds sometimes, so annoying. My warranty is up. )=

 

i think error 4 means high current.. maybe if you find a really nice dealer, they can goodwill warranty one out for you.. since a lot of the headunits are doing that..

 

I'll ask Clair Scion, they are so good to NRG members. Thanx for suggestion.

 

I didn't experience this yet, but I bought my tC in late July 2006, and I replaced it with a good Pioneer HU, right when it's going below freezing in the morning.

 

is this common for all types of HU or just scion tC? if so then that is exactly what im looking for as the dealers that i went to never believed me

so far no vids yet, it happend again t his morning, but by the time i turned on the video cam, it was okay...
