When i'm listening to the radio, it cuts out for a second or two quite regularly.

 

Getting quite annoying, just wondering if anyone's got any advice.

 

snx.

Please expand on what you mean by cutting out?

1) Do you mean just the radio goes quiet?

2) Or do you mean the whole unit dies?

 

If it's 1, could it be that you are in a weak reception area? And it's taking a second to retune to the next RDS frequency?

If you mean 2, then probably check all the power connections to make sure you haven't got a loose one, if that doesn't cure it, buy a new head unit!!

Just to clarify, the radio goes completely silent, regardless of which station it's on. Doesn't happen with CDs or MP3's etc.

 

My mate's Celica (new version) has a siilar problem, and was told it's got something to do with the ECU... not sure if that's similar to my problem.

 

I'm also thinking if a grounding kit will help.

 

It's not a big deal (literally cuts off for a second or two), just irritating.

Sounds like the radio part may be knackard!

Try another head unit in there, if it works fine then you need a new head unit. But if it doesn't then at least you know you've got a problem elsewhere.

Personally I'd say it's the head unit.

hmm, such a small thing, don't think i'll bother with trying out another head unit (unless i find one handy).

 

Thanks anyway.

No prob bud :D

 

It's always the little things that are enoying!! ;)

if its an aftermarket hu, then its probably the mute lead earthing on the body..... pull it out and make sure all wires are covered properly...
