Top 20 Pioneer DEH-1300 CD Player Questions & Answers

Google is your friend.http://smanuals.com/manuals/car-audio-systems/pioneer-autoelektronics/deh-5_15_1500.html

If your car has an OEM amplified system, make sure the blue (or blue/white if your radio has both) is connected to the blue or blue/white in the after market harness adapter.Also make sure none of the speaker lines are touching metal (grounding out) or touching each other

The yellow wire is your always-on power, so the clock and other settings are saved.Here's the manual.

I suggest check in the next link the page 25... manual/95203_fr.pdf

Hope this helps (remember to rate and comment this answer).

The of the speakers is not important, but the impedance is. Check the impedance of the speakers using an ohmmeter and compare that to the spec for the head unit. Checking your maunal, which I found here: http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/130/1301300MP.PDF
your speakers should have a minimum of 4 ohms impedance. For more info, please read this post:

COULD BE FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH OR BULB SOCKET HAS A SHORT IF FUSE BLOWS ONLY WHEN YOU APPLY BRAKES.

The red wire goes to the Acc connection. That is power should come only when the key is inserted ( when the car is On ).

did you hook the constant power wire up? its the yellow wire coming out of the deck. if this was not hooked up the deck would work fine, but it would not hold the time, or preset stations either

yellow is constant power (battery) and red is switched (ignition).

Did you recently install an amplifier along with this system? To me, this sounds like what happens when the amplifier overheats or goes into protect mode. This means that you have two potential problems with your system. Either the amplifier is placed somewhere that causes it to overheat, or your power supply from your car is supplying too much (or too little) voltage. Check to make sure that your amplifier placement is okay, and that you have the correct gauge wire for the power run that you did. For a 13-16 foot run, you should have around 2 gauge wire, depending on how much power your amplifier uses. See this chart for further details http://www.caraudiohelp.com/car_audio_wiring/car_audio_wiring.htm. Beyond those two issues, you could be dealing with loose connections, or issues with the internal electronics. If all else fails, talk to whoever you bought the unit from, and see what they have to say about it. Best of luck!

Error 11 is a disc read error.
1. The disc is not clean or inserted upside down
2. If not the lens is dirty
3. Mechanical error fault. Issue with the mechanics that loads the cd into the spindle motor.

Turn of the unit by holding down the SRC button. Press and hold the Function button, the one to the right of the 6. That should bring up the menu use the arrows to get to the clock.

okay have u tryed replacing the wire harness?? sounds like that is the corperate if not you might want to have someone look at your spakers and make sure one of them is not shorting out and causing the protect mode to kick in

The simplest way to swap the stock radio out for the cassette player would be to go to a radioshack or bestbuy, normally they will carry a double-din to single-din adapter so that the smaller after market radio fits into the existing location snugly. They usually also carry a wiring harness adapter that will plug right into your dodges existing harness and you can just wire nut or solder & shrink wrap the adapter to the pioneers harness, saves a lot of time and insures everything is where it needs to be.
Normally you can get both adapters for under $15, hope this is helps.

Press and hold Source until the unit turns off. Then press and hold the Audio button (about 2 seconds) until the display with the hours flashing then release the Audio button. Press the up or down arrows to adjust the hours. Then use the left or right button to move to the minutes. Then press the up or down buttons to adjust the minutes. Then press Band or press and hold the Audio button for 2 seconds to exit the time set function.

The manual is available here: http://caraudio.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/pioneer/pioneer_deh_deh1300.html .

I hope this helps.

On my pioneer, you have to shut the unit off, and hold down the source button. If that doesnt work, try holding down each button "one at a time"... Pioneers have run like that for years. You might find some extra equalizers too. Dont go changin too much.

Your best bet is to go to a good stereo store that can get you a wiring harness adapter that will plug into your car and be color coded to wire up to your aftermarket radio.

It will save you a lot of time and trouble.

Hello my name is Israel and I will help you out. You will need to pull out the radio and check your yellow wire connection. You need to make sure that this wire is connected to a constant +12 volt source. Good Luck.

what color are the speaker wires? are they grey and green wires or are the grey green,purple and white?

if you do have all the wires connected right .that mean that your headunit is bad from the manufactured.
