Civic EG

Hi all eg nuts.. I recently had a problem where I replaced my oem Becker Radio with a Sony cdx270 head unit.. Problem was that whenever I played it a bit louder than whisper it would cut out and reset the hu.. When I turned on the head lights it would completely shut off. all wiring was checked and double checked. After much troubleshooting found that the original earth/ground wire was not enuf.. I then earthed the hu to the nearest unpainted metal body part and bobs your uncle all is well. I used a piece of 10gauge wire from the screw at the rear of the hu to the unpainted frame.. Hope this helps someone..

thats pretty interesting, I've never had a problem with sony's decks. but thanks regardless.

Good info! I'm going to move this to the audio/video/security section so hopefully someone else researching aftermarket head units will also read this.

yes i should have put this post in the audio dept. but shit happens.

oh i have a 1995 honda ballade\civic sedan 180E/b18b

no sweat... and thanks for moving it to the right dept..
