I have your radio with an amp connected, but hear a whining/buzzing sound
through the speakers when I step on the accelerator.
If you have an external amplier installed and experience a high-pitched noise
that varies with the engine’s RPM, there are many possible soluons:
1. Make sure the amplier’s gain controls are not turned all the way up.
Ampliers amplify everything, including noise.
2. Make sure to run the amplier’s low level input cables (RCA’s) separately
from the amplier’s power wire.
3. Try grounding the amplier near where it is installed.
4. A low level (RCA) noise lter, known as a “ground loop isolator,” is oen
eecve at removing engine or alternator noise.
5. Try a lter on the amplier’s 12 volt power lead. Make sure to use a lter
that includes a ground wire.
6. On rare occasions, noise can be introduced through the antenna lead. If
disconnecng the antenna makes the noise go away, you need to replace
or repair the antenna plug where it goes into the radio.
When I plug in my ash drive, the screen says “USB ERR” and it won’t play the
les I placed on the drive.
1. Make sure the les on the drive are .mp3 or unprotected .wma (Windows
Media Audio) les. iTunes les are .m4a format and need to be converted
to .mp3 format, which can easily be done using iTunes.
2. Verify the capacity of the ash drive. The Model Two will play 1 gig up to 32
gig size ash drives.
3. Make sure the ash drive is not NTFS formaed. Always use the FAT32
format (most drives are formaed with FAT32 from the factory). Be sure
to do a full format rather than a quick format, and check that none of the
les or folders have names longer than 64 characters. It is very important
that none of the audio les have DRM. Use only MP3 les or unprotected
Windows Media format les.
