yeah, a badass sound system should not have a panasonic headunit running it. you were right. why? because their stuff is fucking garbage. i spent a good deal of time installing my new headunit and sirius tuner. got the headunit it, put a CD in, made a grinding noise and would not play or eject the CD. i pulled it out of the dash, still could not get it to eject. took the mounting brackets off the side and the CD popped out. there's a graphic on the side of the unit near the screw holes that says don't use screws longer than 8mm. i used the screws that came with the unit and when tightened, i guess they press against the CD player mechanism inside the unit and prevent the CD from playing or ejecting. that's fucking wonderful. i rigged them using washers and it worked fine. i set it to sirius and the display said SR NOT. manual says this code means the sirius tuner is not working. i checked the plug on the back of the unit and double checked my wiring. +, check, ground, check, harness plugged into tuner, check, antenna, check. shut it off and tried again, nothing. i fucked with it for an hour and could not get anything to work. i yanked the tuner and harness, if the ebay seller doesn't take it back it's going in the garbage, same with the headunit. i don't know why the fuck i didn't buy alpine like i should have. i wouldn't be as mad had i not wasted so much time doing a nice clean install and then having to rip half the shit out. sorry about the profanity. be glad you weren't around today. it took all i had to not throw the goddamn thing across my garage :rant:
