morning all
got myself one of these installed in my 2001 MKIV Golf
http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pioneer-fhp80bt-p-6552.html?cadid=gp5flspane6ejmk51607aqp1o6
which was working fine up until a couple of days ago when it would randomly mute itself and then start again
went to use it last night and it's now permanently on mute!! thats for the CD, USB stick and Tuner - no sound at all! Pressing the mute button doesn't un-mute :sad:
is there anything i can check before having to send the unit back?? i.e. is there like a mute wire in the back that could have come loose??
any suggestions greatly received :smiley:
-
on the back of the h/u there will be a yellow/black wire that is for tel mute if you had an aftermarket phone kit fitted
if this is touching the chassis of the h/u or is touching earth it will mute the h/u

the unit has the phone kit built into it - would this wire still be present? :undecided:
-
yes as you can still have another aftermarket phone kit connected if you wanted

Rhyso, what do you think of this headunit (when it is working correctly :P)
I am thinking about purchasing one myself but i am concerned about the navigation when using a USB Flash drive or Ipod.
I have been trying to find one in a local dealer but dont seem to be available!
Navigation?? the unit i have doesn't have navigation...............
when it works tidy its a great piece of kit for the money :smiley:

ah yeah that would make more sense haha
dead simple - press left or right on the centre button to scroll through tracks and up and down to scroll through albums
there is also a List button which allows you to scroll through all the folders on the USB stick; i assume its the same for the iPod but i don't own one so can't comment

my mate finally bought it for hispolo this weekend, its such a quality hu for the price.
comes with a usb type lead but either plug your ipod comp lead into that or just the ipod comp lead straight into the back of the unit, dead easy.
As for the mute prob i would suggest the same, unless youve hardwired and connected the mute accidently :shocked:

only just happened recently - been fine for 3 months lol!
i'll have a look lunch time - hopefully it will be the mute wire

Yeah, I was more looking for an answer to how reliable the 'Jog Wheel' is? do you get a posative feel and accurate scanning through tracks/folders.
Also, I have read that it supports ID3 tags but do they display when being played and can you scan through folders by name or are they listed Folder 1, Folder 2 etc etc
Sorry for the questions and hope you get your problems sorted asap :)

click wheel is positive - little tricky scrolling backwards i.e to go to a previous track but works well mostly
i use a USB stick and it displays the album names and track names provided you have them saved as that :smiley:
Folders are listed as per album names too

Problem solved so thank you for your help :smiley:
it was indeed the yellow / black mute wire - i just snipped it off as close to the plug as possible and refitted the stereo
All working fine now :cool:
