Head unit error questions

[ridnEclipse04]

I blew the center speaker in the dash the other day and i just took out the speaker today. I unhooked the battery to be safe so i had to imput the code to get the head unit working again. The code i had wasn't working and after you imput it three times the head unit shuts off. Does anyone know how to get it back to normal at this point. The manual says to go to a dealer to get assistance but i'd rather not have to do that. The code i had obviously wasn't working but i'd like to try to do it again before i call a dealer.

Did i get shafted or something, i dont have a center speaker, just the 2 tweaters, 2 in the door, and in in the back panels.

ummm....your speaker is above the clock pod. its like on top of the clock pod facing up toward the windshield

[eclipsed4utoo]

i would go to a dealership and see if you can get another code that might work

Ya i guess i don't really have much choice

i attemptedto put a head unit in once and it didnt work but i did have the same problem with the code, if u fail 3 times u have to get the right code, which is on the actual headunit if u take it out of the car, then put everything back in, and leave the car in the battery only position for like 2 hours then it will reset and u can enter the code.

Yeah i did that and then walked through the whole procedure with someone at the dealer and supposidly there's something wrong with my head unit and my only choice is to ship it out to california and pay over a hundred dollars to get them to tear it apart and see whats the problem so im just gettin a new deck..amp...etc

yup, i just recently, as in a couple days ago, blew out some speakers and possibly a sub im not sure completely. i like to have music fucking liud and even the premium stock infinity system cant handle max volume always so i have no choice but to buy all new shit which gona cost me a g atleast.

Ya i was originally glad that it was only the center speaker that i blew...but now with all this mess i wish i would have just tolerated the rattle until i had a job

Wow! I'm glad I came here first. 3 months ago, my CD's were ejected as I touched each of the selections, and Err came across the screen. Just before that, I blew the dash speaker. So, now I have to replace both, I think. Unless there's some quick fix to the stereo. It didn't say CODE. So, I'm thinkin it has something to do with wiring coming loose or cleaning or something. Anyone have any suggestions? I hear Tweeter will replace both for relatively cheap, and doing it yourself is a total nightmare. Since, you need to rerout the head unit and the amp because of some kind of direct connection to the Infiniti system that can not be disconnected. Please fill in the blanks, I'm not great with technical lingo. Anyway, HELP!!

Um, I really dont think the code is on the head unit because the reason there is a code in the first place is for theft. If the head unit is stollen I dont think Mitsu wants the code on the stollen product...kinda negates the whole Idea. Listen to the other guys and go to Mitsu about it.

No, I meant the display that shows Err and/or CODE...not the head unit. What I meant to say is the display shows Err and NOT the word CODE...so I don't know if it is loose wiring or something else. I did call Mitsubishi last Tuesday. I have not heard back. After I talk to them, I will post what they've told me. Thanks guys!!!

Yeah, The head has no display on it...thats the little thing with the clock. If it has said "code", than your vehicle has lost power and the Anti Theft Stereo is doing its job. You need to enter the 4 digit code for your specific unit. If you dont have that code you can contact a dealer and they can get it for you. I personally think that the theft system should only go off if the unit has been disconected...otherwise leaving your lights on would activate the system...kinda stupid. The same thing happened to me, but I was putting in a Kenwood X979 Deck anyways...its kicks ass if anyone wants to know...a little $$$, but well worth the money for everything it is able to do for an aftermarket system.

If anyone has installed a sub box in their trunk, let me know how you did this. I am planning on making an MDF insert for the OEM spare tire cover, and mounting it on hinges to the frame so that I can lift it up with the sub box and amps if i need to change the tire. It should work pretty good, and when i get done with it I will post a thread with my layout for anyone else that is interested.

(New System= Kenwood X979 Deck, 10 disk changer, 5 Fahrad Capacitory, All new Kicker Midrange and Custom 8" Center speaker, 1 12" Kicker Solo Barak L7, 1 Kenwood 1600 Watt amp for sub, 1 800 watt Kenwood Amp for Midrange, 1 200 wat amp for Center, All will be controlled through my Deck which is an awsome feature)
