rollgrinder Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 After my car stands overnight I turn the key to start the car and the unit starts up like normal with the splash screen and the button and knob illumination lights up and then after about 5 seconds the screen goes blank and the button and knob illumination goes dead. If I drive the car to the corner of my street and shut the car off and restart it the unit boots up normally. I am thinking it might be a battery problem? It may not be getting the correct voltage after standing overnight. But when the Alternator starts working everything is OK. Any comments. No bypass no MODS installed. virgin unit with 2.0 installed.

tjc005 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 i'd check the connections on the wiring, especially the ignition, power and ground. it may just be a loose wire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rollgrinder Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 If there is a loose wire don't you think that the unit would die while driving. Once the unit boots correctly it will stay on until I park the car again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rollgrinder Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 UPDATE After my car stands for awhile and I try to start it up the 90BT splash screen and the button and knob illumination lights up and then after about 2 seconds the button and knob illumination goes dead and then in another 10 seconds the screen goes blank. If I move the car a short distance and shut the car off and restart it the unit boots up normally. Then after driving 25 miles with the system working flawlessly I park the car for a little while and then try to start the car the splash screen and the button and knob illumination lights up and then same thing happens they die. Last weekend when I was going through the settings on the unit and had the key in ACC position for about 45 minutes to an hour I could not start the car and had to jump it. After that happened I started to have this boot problem. This could be a coincidence. Unit was working perfectly before this. If I just put the key in the ACC position the unit will boot normally all the time no problem. Otherwise I have no problem starting the car. If it was not for the fact that, when I have the key in the ACC position the 90BT works normally I would think the battery or the alternator is bad. Also why does it happen only when the car stands still and off for a time period but works after the car is moved a short distance? No bypass no MODS installed. Virgin unit with 2.0 installed.

tjc005 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 after you had your car jumped, did you fully charge the battery, or did you just let the alternator charge it? with luck, maybe you just need to charge it, but it sounds like a battery starting to go.

rollgrinder Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 My problem is solved. I had the battery checked and it was bad. Replaced battery and ererything is fine. Now I have to go through all the settings and change where needed. 411 is great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
