what could be wrong with my headunit???

OK so i go to my car and the stereo is workin fine

two hours later i go and start my car and the music is playing at low volume/att and NONE of the buttons on the face of the unit are lit or work, also the screen doesnt show anything

it was playin couldnt turn it off or anything just was playin, lucky it was a good cd

later i go back out the headunit has a hidden face the kind that flips around when off and then back to the face when on

well i does that just fine when ever i start the car but now no music plays at all just blank headunit

what do u guys think
blown fuse??? loose wires???

then you will most likely need to send it in for service. Sounds like an issue with the internal wiring and electronics within the face part of the unit.

I would suggest going to a car audio shop and having them send it out. My local shop sends headunits out to a company called United Radio that does the warranty repairs for Alpine and several other major companies. If your unit is out of/exempt from the warranty that it will probably be around $120 to fix it from a contracting company like United Radio.

Call up shops in your area and ask them.

yup, bad PCB or internal contact on the ribbon cable off the head unit. My recommendation...buy a real head unit

I looked in the cabinet quickly and the one unit that has everything, harness, can, remote, face, is the KDC-V7017. It worked well up until the ribbon quit working and it would not display anything.

If you want it, make an offer and give me your zip code for shipping.
