JulianGTIvr6 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 had the d3 for over a year now, no problems, until recently when i go to turn on the vehicle (2003 vw gti) the unit does not boot up completely. led lights turn on *Does not say "starting pioneer navigation system* leds dim out screen is back lit and idea for a repair, ive looked for loose wires in the back, but when it comes to this I'm a turkey trying to soar with eagles.

dsf3g Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 have you tried resetting the unit? Mine goes "dead" occasionally in really cold weather, but a "reset" brings it back up just fine. Look for a small pin-hole sized opening on the face of the unit, just to the right of the eject button, and poke a pen tip in it. That will reset the unit. Might work. I think you will have to reprogram all your setting, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
