I don't think it would be your speakers. Speakers are only powered by the wires running from the head unit. Does your head unit stay on when your car is turned off? If so, you need an accessorised power source. One that only engages power when your car is turned to accessories. let me know.
The issue you're experiencing with your Pioneer PD-M40 suggests a potential problem with the disc loading mechanism or the sensor that detects the presence of the disc cartridge. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. **Clean the Disc Cartridge and Player:**
Dust or debris on the disc cartridge or inside the player may affect proper disc loading. Remove the disc cartridge and clean both the cartridge and the player carefully with a soft, lint-free cloth.
2. **Inspect for Obstructions:**
Check for any visible obstructions inside the disc loading mechanism or around the edges of the disc cartridge slot. Ensure that there is nothing blocking the path of the cartridge as it is inserted.
3. **Check for Proper Alignment:**
Ensure that the disc cartridge is properly aligned when inserting it into the player. Misalignment may prevent the player from recognizing the presence of the cartridge.
4. **Try a Different Disc Cartridge:**
If you have access to another disc cartridge, try inserting a different one to see if the issue persists. This can help determine whether the problem is specific to the cartridge or the player itself.
5. **Power Cycling:**
Turn off the player, unplug it from the power source, and wait for a minute or two. Plug it back in, power it on, and then attempt to insert the disc cartridge to see if the issue is resolved.
6. **Test with the Lid Open:**
Power on the player with the lid open and observe the disc loading mechanism as you insert the disc cartridge. Check for any unusual movements, sounds, or signs of misalignment.
7. **Lubrication:**
If the player has not been used for an extended period, lubrication on moving parts may have dried out. Consult the user manual for recommendations on proper lubrication or contact Pioneer customer support.
8. **Contact Pioneer Support:**
If the issue persists and you've exhausted the troubleshooting steps, it may be advisable to contact Pioneer customer support or seek assistance from a qualified technician. There could be an internal issue that requires professional attention.
Always refer to the user manual for your Pioneer PD-M40 for model-specific instructions and recommendations. If you don't have the manual, you may be able to find it on the Pioneer website or by contacting their customer support.
Question edited for clarity.
Greetings from Mississauga :>D
My research shows it just needs a standard RCA lead to connect. However you realize this is just a standalone CD player and needs an amplifier as well as speakers? It has no amplification of its own, it just puts out an audio signal.
When connected to a Pioneer System Audio Amplifier, the control cables allow you to control the CD Player from the Amplifier remote control as they cable connect to that amplifier. The Line Out connections are for the RCA cable and supply the audio data to the amp.

You just have one small part of a composite audio system.
Regarding speakers, most are 8 ohm. you can spend $50 used or $60,000 for Bowers and Wilkins Nautilus. I have a pair of Wharfedale Linton speakers that I bought from the UK factory that you can have for $450 CDN :>) Top of the range.

The answer lies in the 'year make model' and the only clue you give us is 'truck', so here you go. This website lists them all. One problem with modern vehicles is that the Body Control Modules monitors the stereo because it does other features, like giving warning sounds via the speakers. Playing with wires is not wise because the BCM uses a 5 volt computer network to relay data and it sounds like you may have given it 12 volts?
If the power button behind the faceplate of your Pioneer AVH-P5200DVD is broken and the copper jumper is lost, there might be a few things you could try:
Contact Pioneer Support: Before attempting any repairs yourself, it's a good idea to reach out to Pioneer customer support. They might be able to guide you through potential solutions or suggest authorized repair centers where you can get professional help.
Check for Replacement Parts: You could try searching for replacement parts for the specific model of your Pioneer unit. The copper jumper you're referring to might be available as a replacement part. Check online marketplaces, electronics repair shops, or even Pioneer's official parts store.
Jumper Wire: If you have some experience with electronics, you might consider using a small gauge jumper wire to bridge the connection that the power button makes. This could potentially be a temporary solution, but keep in mind that modifying the internal components of electronic devices can be risky and might lead to further issues if not done properly.
Professional Repair: If you're not comfortable working with electronics, it's advisable to seek help from a professional electronics repair technician. They have the expertise to diagnose the issue accurately and carry out repairs safely.
Temporary Workaround: If the above options aren't feasible, you might consider leaving the power button in the "on" position (if possible) and using the unit's remote control to power it on and off. This would bypass the need for the physical power button.
Remember that tampering with electronic devices can void warranties or lead to further damage if not done correctly. If you're unsure about any steps, it's best to consult with a professional technician.
Question edited for clarity and 'make, series, model and number' in correct order.
My searches lead me to believe that you have a model that was made for the Japanese home market and only comes in Japanese. The advert for it is in Japanese. No English Manual listed.
