Golf IV / Jetta IV :: New Stereo / Deck - Alarm Not Working
I just installed an Alpine deck (single-din) in my 2002 VW Golf 2.0. When pulling out the factory deck, there are two wiring harnesses. One for the stereo itself, the other for the alarm.
The replacement deck doesn't have alarm settings. Question, after installing - I didn't connect the alarm to anything, just left it but now its disabled!! Is there a way to rewire so the alarm still functions without the stock stereo?
Dodge - Neon :: 1998 - Stereo Will Not Turn On After Disconnecting The Battery
OK, I have a 1998 Dodge Neon and had to replace the radiator. To do so I had to pull out the battery and the mount and everything. Upon putting everything back together, the car runs great and all works well except my stereo will not turn on! It is totally dead, can't get it to power up or anything. So I went through all the checks, fuses are all ok (in the console and on the back of the stereo itself), I unplugged the stereo and plugged it back in, pushed the reset button on the stereo, and completely disconnected and reconnected the battery.... I'm not sure what else to do.
Now I would simply assume the stereo died, but it was working fine earlier in the day before I took the battery out, not even 8 hours prior. Also, about a year and a half ago I had to replace my battery and this same thing happened. The same stereo seemed dead and I went through all the checks i mentioned previously with no luck. I was about to purchase a new stereo a few weeks later and I plugged it in one last time to double check it and the stereo came on and has worked fine up to today! So I know the stereo isn't bad, there is just something I am missing here.
Car stereo won't turn on, its happened before, and randomly started working again, but now I can't get it back on yet after a battery disconnection.
Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Speakers Not Working In Stereo
The stock stereo doesn't use the full range of speakers unless I use XM or my ipod. I'd love to listen to the radio with the same range of sound. Is there a code fix from the dealer?
I'm embarrassed to admit that I've waited 5+ years to try and fix it.

Prius (2001-03) :: Stereo Volume Not Working
My Gen 1 stereo volume doesn't work at all anymore. Everything on the display is normal, the cassette player isn't making weird noises, but no radio or ipod hookup volume whatsoever. I'm worried someone who was testdriving it last week might have been pressing random buttons, but we've tried pressing most of 'em and still no dice. But also, it has been very humid this past week. Is this what happens when speakers die? Anything I should try?

View 5 RepliesTouareg :: No Sound From Stereo Sometimes When Car Started
Sometimes when I start my car I wont get any sound out of my stereo; even the buzz is gone. The only solution is too turn it off and back on again. It happens every once in a while, a couple times a week. I think the car is not telling the amp to turn on. This is why the stereo is playing and there is no buzz.

I HAVE A 2005 f-150 LARIET 5.4 lt. I have been having a problem with my battery being drained. My stereo has been staying on once the truck has been turned off. It has also been coming on when the truck is parked all by itself and draining the battery. Sometimes when i am driving in the truck and turn the stereo on it wont come on, ten minutes down the road the stereo will all of a sudden come on. I have tried removing the relay for the stereo, no difference. I have also removed all fuses for the stereo and entertainment system, yet the draining of the battery is still occurring. What the problem could be?

View 3 RepliesGen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: AUX Function On Stereo Is Not Working
I just bought an 2008 Prius and I cannot for the life of me get the AUX function to work on my stereo. I have my iPhone plugged into the jack inside the center counsel, hit the DISC/AUX key and nothing. The cable between the iphone and jack is good, because I tried it on other devices and it works great. When I have a disc inserted into the stereo the DISC/AUX button works when switching from AM/FM radio to Disc and the cd plays. But when I have the cd removed from the stereo and hitting the DISC/AUX switch it does nothing. What am I doing wrong??? Or is the stereo broken????

View 14 RepliesAccent RB (2012+) :: Stereo Powers Up But No Sound Comes
I've got a 2012 Accent GL with a stock stereo system. Worked fine for nearly two years until a few days ago.
Start car, everything powers up except the stereo. (Dash lights up, so the stereo buttons are back-lit, but no power to the stereo.)
Pull the in-dash fuse (20A, "ACC") below and left of the steering column, it is not blown, plug the same fuse back in and the stereo powers up. Clock, tuner, volume, audio controls, etc. all respond on the display but no sound from the speakers!
Have checked every fuse and relay, including the ones under the hood and the "in-line" fuses...none are blown. All fuses good.
Is there an amplifier in that model? Is there a fuse somewhere behind the stereo, in the dash? There's no reset button on the stereo that I could find. I also left the ACC fuse pulled for a few hours to attempt a reset, to no avail.

Left knob volume control = no and does not display volume level on lcd screen either
Right knob = nothing works
Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Dashboard And Stereo Lights Not Working
At night, when I turn the key to "on". The stereo light (orange)'s illuminated but no light coming from the dashboard. Other lights on the dashboard -- e.g. engine check, oil, door indicators are fine. When I start the car, the stereo light's gone away and I still have no dashboard lights. I tried to change the channel, put in a CD, increase/decrease volumes but none of those activated the light. All other functionalities seem to be working fine.
I checked the fuse box under the dashboard console. All fuses look good to me. What might be going on or I just simply have bad dashboard light bulbs? What's about the stereo lights?
