ho02pey90 Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 iv just been installing my Pioneer avid F900bt today and i have it all hooked up just waiting for the RCA cable to be delivered tomorrow, when i turn it on the volume control as soon as you turn it up it turns back down, if i turn it up quickly then press the round button in it stays on the volume but soon as you try turning it up again it turns back down, as i have said i haven't connected to any speakers yet so i don't know if this is what is causing this but i would be grateful if anyone could help me on the matter Thanks in advance Andy Quote
spursmaddave Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Nothing like that hapoened when i fitted mine, but i think you answered your own question as you haven't got any speakers connected. I wouldn't worry too much until yiu get the RCAs connected and see how things go. Which steering wheel control adapter did you get? Quote
Beavis Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 In some cases i dont think its wise to power up audio equipment without the speakers connected because your not getting the correct resistance across the speaker connections, so may be some kind of safety feature? Quote

spursmaddave Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 It is very tight behind the dash, if you are careful there is a little cavity on the passenger side, i managed to squeeze a few cables in there, also underneath behind the white control box there is a bit of space. Just be careful. Quote

DO you mean not working when the car is stationary or when moving, I never did the hack to make it work while moving, couldn't see the point to be honest Quote
