Clarion Problems I have just bought and installed a brand new Clarion DXZ475MP Cd unit and everything is hooked up correctly, the tuner works, but everytime I insert a cd the deck trys to read it and then ejects, the cds are in pretty good shape and the unit is not feeding back any errors, I thought that this could be due to too much incline as the deck is mounted with a slight incline, I removed the unit and held it flat, same thing happened. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

No idea. Recommend contacting a local car audio professional or Clarion customer support directly here:

There were probably different stereo unit options available but the particular stock stereo in my 2002 Rodeo was a "Clarion" Model No. P1-9993M (cassette player). I've since upgraded to a better aftermarket head unit so you are welcome to my old one if willing to pay shipping (ha,ha).

Fascinating!

hope this help s

, the message you are getting is "amp guard". This is the mesage it will display when a short in a speaker wire or speaker with low impedence is hooked to the internal amp and sends it into protect mode, shutting down the amplifier section while the rest of the unit continues to work.

check all of your speakers

Check to make sure exposed wires aren't grounding themselves out. I just had this problem and after 2 days of re-wiring and re-checking almost every wire I finally found the culprit. The Remote wire from my amp has become exposed and grounded itself out. Unit worked fine, same problems you are having.

sounds like u have a premium sound system. what u need to do is take ur blue/white remotewire to ur blue power antennat that should activate ur factory amp.

Check your Factory speaker locations for blown speakers or bare wires to metal.

The Bose system in the Z is wired to control the entire car's speakers. Each speaker has its own amplifier, and the OEM head unit puts out a line-level signal to each amp. Your Clarion unit puts out speaker-level signal (in effect, an amplified signal), into the Bose amps, and it's probably overdriving them and putting them into shutdown.

Your best bet is to replace the Bose speakers with aftermarket speakers meant for a speaker-level drive (which is what I did in my Z, and never once regretted it). If you do so, you'll need to run new wires to the speakers, or if you use the OEM wiring, you'll need to unplug the amps and run the wires from the amp harnesses directly to the new speakers. I think there is an adapter harness you can use that will tap into the line-out jacks on your Clarion, so that a line-level signal can be sent to the Bose speakers - I'd do a google search for "Metra harness 300zx" or something along those lines (Metra makes the lineout harness adapters - I use one in my Audi).

That means the unit went into protect mode because of a fault in the amp of the unit. This will need to be serviced. good Luck
