auzeus72 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 For whatever reason I cant raise the volume on my Z3. Its stuck on the previous volume setting. I had the Z3 Installed for about a year ran perfect. I installed some headrests monitors via a pioneer video selector. They work perfect and am very happy with them. I can hear everything as far as sounds when buttons pressed and Navi sounds can be adjusted. Like I said all I cant do is adjust music volume. Its stuck! Cant go up nor go down. I try with the panel button and the remote to no avail. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jwq Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 The obvious one: try a reset.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
auzeus72 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Your obvious suggestion was already attempted to no avail. Any better suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sp00led Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Did you ever figure out what caused this? I have a z2 with the z3 upgrade and it has been working for years fine. Just today I noticed it is stuck where everything works except volume. It's also lower volume then what it is set at. I hear it jump up to the normal volume randomly and when it does this if you click the vol button quick enough you can make an adjustment. Then it goes back to the lower audio level and you are locked out again. I'm wondering if something is shorting out behind the unit. I have a Acura CL so it's a PITA to pull the deck but looks like I will be... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sp00led Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I booted into test mode and did the key test. The volume up and down keys are working. What's weird is it is very intermittent now. Normal for a few secs then back to lower audio levels. When the volume is at normal levels the vol up/down keys work. When the audio level lowers for whatever reason I lose vol up/down controls. I did a reset as well and that didn't fix anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As an experiment, you could try disabeling the mute setting in the menu ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djmixmac Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I would check the ribbon cable connecting the screen to the headunit. It could be loose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Turned the mute off. Still have the problem. I would check the ribbon cable connecting the screen to the headunit. It could be loose. Do I have to take the unit apart to check this? I looked under the screen while it was in the open position and all I see is the white track/gears for moving the screen. No sign of a ribbon cable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Canadianjay Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Have you found a solution? I'm having a similar problem with my Z1. After I reset with button on front, the volume is now loud but I still can't change it. I also can't adjust mute level or go into audio settings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
