well went out for a cruise tonight and noticed that my headunits volume went up and down with the speed of my car...
is this to do with the ground of the actual headunit, if so how do i fix it?

cheers

the volume? or the buzz?

I've never heard of the volume going up and down...

I have heard of it but never heard it. A mate said he replaced the altinator? and was al good after that. i can't spell- too much beer -

nah its the actual volume....****ing annoying

hmm possibly altenator or battery then must be causing some big voltage fluctuations to be causing that though.

Could also be faulty headunit.

Try fixing up the ground. Wheres it grounded to?

If its stock ground look at sanding back a point on the chassis near the headunit and going through an existing screw

i had the exact same problem in my old car. i was told it was the alternator aswell.

Has the Headunit got speed dependant Volume Control ???

:bowrofl:
got be loving that.. think of it as a 2in1 thing... the faster u go louder it gets making u go fast.... i c a nasty cycle there...
no need for a remote :D

yeah that happened to my TR, then i needed a new alternator and after that was done it hasn't happen again

I wanted to figure out a way to do this, so when I pull up to lights my volume drops slightly. I know many cars have this as standard.
Im sick of getting weird looks at lights
back to the drawing board.

hahahaha I think KENWOOD do a head unit like this :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

Its not worth it

hook something up to your brake pedal, lol

every time u step on the brake, it decreases your volume. Wouldn't know how to do that though. Maybe some kind of you-beaut electrical thing can be wired up to ur headunit or rca's or something hahaa.

:nuts: :shock: :sick: :fruitcake hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa thats funny

ok...well its a Pioneer DEH-P7700MP, i got it installed by Autobarn a few months back, where is the ground spot, i would think it is the stock ground spot, so where would i find that.
If in fact it is the alternator would it be affecting anything else?

:bump: lol

I know this is an old thread... BUT!

I had this issue also and spoke to Pioneer about it. If you're still having this problem, check to see whether the HU has ASL on it (Auto sound levelling). Mine did (DEH-P1Y) and I didn't even know. lol It was turned on and had exactly the same problem... ONce this was turned off, no more problem. ;)

If it's not happening anymore feel free to lock this thread! hehe

mate, i jus wannahug u right now!!!! IT WORKED :D :D i have been putting up with that crap for ages and it was really pissing me off, as well as my passengers

your a bloodly legend mate.....

i cant believe pioneer would make such a feature in their headunits....

VDO have it as a common feature.

its actualy the voltage regulator on the alternator. can get them replaced fairly cheaply at any auto elecy

I love happy endings.... group hugs!


i cant believe kenwood would make such a feature in their headunits....One thing though...I thought you said it is a Pioneer unit, not Kenwood :confused:
