Yeah, Pioneer units are bad for locking up in the heat. I had a nice Pioneer singel din (the first one released with 65,000 color OEL display) and it hated heat. Anytime it was left in the heat all day it would work everytime, but I would not be able to eject the cd. I would have to use the keys to pull the deck out of my dash so it could cool off, and a few minutes later it would eject my cd. I'm sure all cd players do it, but Pioneer catches a lot of flack because it's a very popular audio video company. I would probably say Alpine is in a far behind second. I don't think even Pioneer can resolve this problem, because it is very hot sitting inside of a small dash area with very little "cool" air circulation. I hope that my post will help someone.

That is correct but when you press it for two seconds it says mute, but when my unit decides to get a mind of its own it says ATT. I thought that too till I looked at what the words were saying. I will continue testing out theories to get to the bottom of this.

sorry i have a 2007 mazda3i

I bought it through amazon.com and the company that was selling it was Etronics.com. I had it installed by exreme autosport in my town. He had done some tint work and had already installed 2 different cd players in my car. I liked his work, but I had a hard time deciding on what deck that I wanted. No, I don't have a steering wheel interface. I could do with out volume, mute, and track change on my steering wheel. I will go by this week and let him look at it to see if maybe a wire is not connected correctly that is causing the problem. I bought the unit new, but my installer told me that it had be installed before but worked fine. It has only messed up a total of 3 times, since I've had it. It never does it for long, but is frustrating when it happens. I know with my last single din pioneer it hated heat and would not want to eject cd's when my car sat in the sun all day. This is my second pioneer unit and I'm not sure if it's a pioneer issue or something that really is defective in the unit. Thanks for the suggestion and I will look into this further.

Anyone have any suggestions about radio changing sources intermittently. I have no idea why it does it. All I can think of is that it can be from a strong anteana source that I drive by, because att can only be operated by having a remote. Since I have no remote for my device then that is the only thing that I can think of. Another thing I can think of is heat? It can be hot for a week straight 90 degree F+, but it still won't do it everyday. I'm really confused, because I'm not sure if there is a possible short or something is defective within the system. I'm at a lost so any comments would be appreciated.

Can someone make me a cool background involving the mazda emblem that is silver. I've have been messing with different programs to make it work, but the pictures become pixelated. I'm not very good with photoshop or any other type of picture editing software. I would greatly appreciate it.

I'd like some pictures that say something about navigation for my splash screen. I've seen some cool backgrounds on this site with the Scion logo layed over them that I liked. Something simple like that would do me well. Thank you to all avic owners for your help.
