Hi,
The internal rod which helps in sliding down is either bent or damaged thats why you are facing this problem . To solve this problem need to remove the unit and replace the rod .

Hope this helps .

pretty common problem with these
I've had at least 6 customers this year
Each time it is the faceplate motor that has failed
only fix is to replace and I'd advise to avoid the brand Dual

Hi It is usually not suggested and most of all UNSAFE to drive while watching video. It is suggested to watch video while parked, and I suggest you to do the same. This is for demonstration purposes only, if you use these codes. STEP ONE. Ground the E-Brake wire. No matter which method you use, you must ground the brake detection wire. I suggest you tap it into the ground wire on your wiring harness (ensures a good ground). 1. FACTORY RESET METHOD (Temporary) (This isn't the most effective, but it is the easiest to try, so it's worth a shot since it apparently works on some units.) ** Go to the Menu ** Get to the Settings Menu ** Select to Reset to Factory Settings.

Is the harness connected correctly and tight on the radio

Most of the time you just need to ground the wire. Distracted drivers are near as bad as drunk ones! Keep your eyes on the road. The life you save will be YOURS one way or another.

Hello :

Try to reset your device ! That should help by unlocking it .

good luck .

Yellow needs to be connected to 12 volt battery (constant power) and the red wire goes to 12 volt switched (key on or ignition)

It is NOT true.

The yellow/blue wire out the back of the head unit needs to be hooked up to the same wire that is responsible for illuminating the "BRAKE" light on your dash. This tells the DVD player that the car is not in motion. Where this wire is and how to tap into it is entirely dependent on what kind of car you have. You may need to trace the wire out or consult a wiring diagram.

If you wish to bypass this feature (which may be illegal in some states) try this:

** Insert a DVD
** Let it play until you hear sound
** Press STOP twice on remote
** Enter 26604
** Press ENTER

wat you want to do

Buy a harness from Best Buy and those colors will match to the aftermarket radio colors and you'll be all set.

your signal wires (LCH, RCH) could be crossing either grounding terminal wires or even power wires. I used to have the same problem. I rerouted the wires and it cleared up the issue.

same problem, but if i disconnect unit or car battery systems (resets?) works again for a day or two then problem comes back

If you do not know or can't find what each wire is in the factory stereo harness, you can follow these simple steps to determine what each wire is using a digital muti-meter and a AA battery or with just an analog meter. You may also need a 1 amp fuse and a few feet of 18-20 gauge primary wire. First, with the ignition switch in the off position, test each lead for 12V+. If you are using an analog meter (my preference for this), set it to read DC voltage at or above 15 volts. Setting your meter below this could cause damage to your meter or at least blow an internal fuse. Attach the common lead to a known ground in the vehicle and probe each wire with the positive lead. Make sure you measure every lead in the harness even after you have found one that shows 12V + and record your findings. Typically you will only have one 12V+ constant wire in the harness, but some vehicles may have more. This will connect to the memory lead of your head unit, normally yellow on most aftermarket radios
Second, with the ignition switch in the off position, turn on the vehicle's parking lights and make sure the dimmer is turned all the way up, then probe every wire in the harness again that did not show 12V+ in the first step and record your findings. When you have found a wire that shows 12V+, leave your meter attached to the wire and adjust the dimmer to see if there is a change in voltage, then continue to measure the remaining leads. The lead that shows 12V+ with the parking lights on that does not show a change in voltage when you adjust the dimmer switch is the illumination lead. The lead that shows a change in voltage when you adjust the dimmer switch is the dimmer wire. Your head unit may or may not have a corresponding lead for either of these (typically orange and/or orange with white stripe on most aftermarket head units).
Third, with the ignition switch in the accessory position, measure each lead. You should find one that now shows 12V+ only when the key is in the accessory and run positions. This is the 12V+ switched lead or accessory lead and will connect to the red lead of most aftermarket head units.
Fourth, with the ignition switch in the off position, set your meter to read resistance at the lowest scale and zero out your meter if you are using an analog meter. Reconnect the common lead to a known vehicle ground and probe every lead that did not show 12V+ in the previous steps to find the ground lead in the harness. This will connect to the black lead on most aftermarket head units.
Fifth, turn the ignition switch to the accessory position and momentarily touch each lead to ground that did not measure 12V+ in the previous steps. The purpose of this is to find the negative power antenna trigger lead if your vehicle is so equipped. Keep in mind, most vehicles do not have a negative power antenna trigger lead, so if you do not find one, don't be alarmed.
Sixth, if you are using an analog meter, set it to measure resistance at the lowest scale and connect the common lead to any of the remaining leads that did not show 12V+ or ground in the previous steps. If you are using a DMM, set it aside and connect one side of the AA battery to any of these leads. Now connect each of the other leads, one at a time, to the positive lead of your analog meter or to the other side of the battery until you hear a popping sound from any of the speakers paying close attention to which speak is popping. If you can see the speaker when it is popping, pay close attention to the direction of cone travel. If it moves outward, you have the correct polarity for that speaker. When you have found a speaker, record the two leads for the respective speaker and set them aside. Continue to measure the others in the same manner until all speaker wires have been identified. If you are unable to locate any speakers in this step, you most likely have an amplifier. If you do not have an amplifier and have found all the speaker leads, but can not see them to confirm the correct polarity, don't worry, you can check this during the installation of the head unit.
t the installation you hear.
When you installing the speakers connect one at a time each speaker and listen it, if there is a distortion the polarity is wrong just switch the polarity and you here the difference, do it with the rest of the speakers.

its the igniton wire hook it on to the battery and see if the deck works if thats the problem plug the igniton wire into the fuse box 10amp if you got on

The blue one is normally related to automatic pop up antena, do you have one ? Now the red wire is a main source of power which should be connected straight to the battery.Now this blue wire may well be the remote which is connected to the amp and which your radio uses to wake up the amp and to start taking power from battery.Now for the non working problem, I would suggest you check there is power coming to it and all wiring are connected in the right place.Also many of these amp comes with internal fuse to protect themselves from high voltage...so check that too.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, a review:

• yellow - connected to an always ON +12 source (such as the battery's + terminal);
• red - connected to a switched +12 such as the ACC terminal of the ignition switch;
• blue - is only used/connected when there is an external power amplifier or a power antenna;
• speaker wires - to the speakers only.

Offhand, a couple of tests but would require a multitester (DVM or VOM):

• check for consistency of the 12 volts on the yellow and red wire;
• ensure that the black wire is connected to a metal bracket, support or frame of the dash not only to the harness ground;
• with the power OFF, check that none of the 8 speaker wires reads low or zero resistance to ground.

Postback results of above tests.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.
