As long as the screen still opens and closes properly you'll be fine. I just wouldn't make a habit of it. Btw any pioneer remote will work on the avics, just so you know they do have an att button.

Does your screen still have full motion? Does it still slide all the way down and come back up with no unusual grinding noises or anything?

If it does, then you probably didn't do any harm to your screen.


I wouldn't do it again :lol: but I doubt your system is damaged.

One of my buttons on my steering wheel control is programed to mute the radio. When I do. "ATT" is displayed on the screen. What does this stand for? I wondered if it was normal? I guess it is?

Its another way to say 'Mute'.

It isnt a mute. It merely reduces the volume in half. Mute would totally kill the sound.

Attenuate

From Wiktionary
