cbloyer81 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hey guys, I had a problem where when starting the car, randomly the unit would not turn on and the only way to get it to come back on was to pull the batter cable to reset the C2R-VW2 (VW specific)or other vehicles that use pac controllers. Also, when I would start the car after listening to the radio with the ignition on, the radio would turn off and back on. Both problems were fixed with a Metra E5000 SPDT Relay SPDT Relay w/Socket. If anyone else has this problem and needs more detail, contact me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I occasionally have the same problem with a PAC controller but had an ammeter on the accessory wire to rule out too much current draw on the controller. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve6534 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 In case anyone else searches in the future for systems using a PAC C2R-FRD1 or possibly other integration wiring modules see the attached tech note that was released. It explains the reason for unintended system resets along with a workaround - http://www.pac-audio.com/PACProductData/C2R-FRD1/3_Tech_Briefs/c2r-frd1_tech_bulletin_002.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
