Hi All,
(I've tried searching the forums but haven't found any similar problems)
I have a 2005 VX 120.
I recently swapped out the standard 6 stacker mp3 player for a kenwood ddx4016bt, and now i have a very faint static noise coming from the speakers all the time.
It appears about 10 seconds after the unit powers up, and remains constant all the time. Doesn't matter if the engine is on or off, or if the ignition is on or off. Doesn't chirp/pop/whistle/whine or anything like that, it's just a faint white noise static.
The unit was installed with aerpro harness adapters so i would hope there isn't an issue with a connection etc behind the dash.
I've tried the following:
- Disconnecting an electronic rust prevention unit the original owner fitted (looks pretty old)
- Updating the firmware on the headunit. The release notes mention "improve background noise". As far as i can tell this has only changed one aspect. If i choose a sound source and then turn the volume to zero, the noise disappears. Before the update, the noise was there even on volume 0.
I tried looking through a 900+! page wiring diagram manual, and it mentions stereo amplifier (separate to antenna amplifier). I haven't seen anyone mention anything about another amplifier. Do they have one buried under the kick panels or carpet somewhere ?
Any ideas or similar experiences out there ?
Appreciate all input,
