Hello all,

 

Well my screen I have had my Avic Z1 working fine for over three years (have 2 wire bypass as well). About 2 weeks ago my touch panel screen cracked (not the LCD. I sucessfully replaced the touch panel and all works well. The problem that I have now is no sound from any source. If I turn the volume up all the way I get the subs to rumble. My speakers are connected directly to the HU, and my subs are connected thru the RCA sub outs into its own Amp.

 

I did read on another site that the Antenna settings on the radio could cause no audio (but I toggled it from Power to Radio) and still no dound at all.

 

Any ideas. Is there something internal to the radio (fuse perhaps) that I can fix. I traced all fuses in the car on HU and nada.

 

Please help, and thanks much!

A simple this to check is make sure the harness with your speaker connections is completely installed in the back of the Z. I assume you had to remove the head unit to replace the touch screen...

Thanks much for your response. Yes I checked all the connections. In fact I have all my speakers running off the HU and just the subs off of the preamp RCA sub output. I tried the blue wire trick lat night and even resetting the unit per the manufacturer suggestions (three different methods). Still nada.

 

I tried to email ducatiboy but his email is full. He is surely in demand.

 

thanks again!

Try toggling antenna back from "radio" to "power" (it should be on power, just figured that out last night after my system was reset, lol) after you check your wiring. :) Good luck! I'm curious to see what the outcome is!
