DAROCK79 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hey guys ! I am having a problem with my D3. It happens randomly. It would make 2-3 beeps shut off and reset and comes right back on after a few seconds. I was wondering if anyone knows why-? Thanks ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mabbaticchio Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Same thing happened to me today for the first time. Why? Because it is a piece of crap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Itchy Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 It happened to me prior to selling it. Nav would go black, reset, and set all my settings to default. However music continued to play uninterruptedly which eradicates the idea of a loose connection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAROCK79 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 So is there a fix-? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GnatGoSplat Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Could it be overheating? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I had this happen to two D3's. It would also put me in NY often. I didn't see this problem with my third D3 before I sold it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAROCK79 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 So maybe I got a bad unit-? I got it from Crutchfield. I had the unit installed twice. The first time it work fine, but I had to remove it and replace because the GMOS was bad, so I replaced it with a PAC adapter for my 04 Escalade. And ever since then, its been shutting off. I hope somebody knows whats up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't see this problem with my third D3 before I sold it though. didn't you also say previously that you got 2 faulty d3's in a row? its probably an internal failure....i would say loose ACC or Constant but i dont think that'd reset your settings..

GnatGoSplat Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Could be a solder joint going bad, which is not uncommon. It's almost impossible to fix because some of the pins on these chips are the size of hairs with about the same space between. Plus, you don't know which solder joint is going bad. It could also be an EEPROM going bad, which could explain the settings getting erased. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
