Consider yourself lucky. Some have not had issues.

I have a scion tC with aftermarket HID lighting. Kit is from DDM tuning. I ran a harness with a relay on the HID's (They are 55w version) and have not experienced any problems with the unit losing audio when turning them on or off. Everything is working fine.

Do you have both highs and lows? I have a scion tc with highs and lows HID's. For me the issue is with high beam. No problem with low beam.

Anybody who have issue have a 1 farad or higher cap installed ? If this is related to a power spike caused by the HIDs I wonder if a installing a cap may fix it.

so i have the same issue on my 08 scion tc with aftermarket hid with relays and external amp. i just wanna know if the guy that put the chokes on if he could take a pic of where he put them. i bought 4 chokes but dont know where to put them.

He hasn't been heard from sense so it probably didn't work for long or if at all. Thats usually the case when one person claims a solution to a common problem but doesn't give any details and is never heard from again. Regardless this issue is easy to work around. Just turn your lights on as soon as you crank your vehicle and you have nothing to worry about.

Any new developments with this issue? I just had my X920BT installed and I'm also experiencing the audio cut off issue. I have aftermarket HIDs installed w/ the relay harness. Unforutnately, with my car, many have fried their junction box w/o the relay harness.

One odd thing is that my audio comes back on if I unplug and reconnect my iPhone.

i haven't had a chance to start troubleshooting my issue.

If i have my fog lights on before i start the car radio works fine. Anytime after radio is booted it cuts out.

in my case i have aftermarket fogs which have their own harness. To turn them on there is a button that draws 12v with ign on from the dimmer and power for the fogs comes direct from battery.

hey guys. so i had this issue with my relay harness and hid kit. i ended up buying a new kit from ddmtuning.com and removed the relay harness. i plugged the hids directly to the cars harness and to my amazement, the audio cutting off issue went away. i can finally turn on my hids with out being pissed of at my radio.

the problem I've had is that if I have my stereo on (3300BT) and then turn on my HIDs, the stereo's sound would cut out for a few seconds or actually turn off and turn back on. I no longer have this problem. what I did was instead of grounding my stereo using the harness, I used a thicker gauge wire and ground directly to the chassis. no more power offs or cutting out of the sound. I still get a slight pop from my sub when turning on my lights since both the HIDs relays and sub power cable are connected to the positive post on my battery. I hope this solution works for some of you.

I removed my wiring harness and plugged my Hid directly into the stock wiring and the audio does not cut out. I originally used the harness to remove the daytime running lights, but what ill do now is use a relay and the power right from the stock wiring harness. I don't know if this helps anyone but just wanted to let everyone know how I fixed mine

i have this issue with my 2010 gmc sierra where sound cuts out and its starting to bug me. ive notice that once it goes out if i hit the onstar button it shuts the screen and recycles power and the unit goes back to working just fine. if anyone with a silverado or sierra who's figured how to fix this problem please let me know.
