Regarding the stereo, I'm unable to set the fader to rear bias, as is my preference. Is that on purpose? The setting is there but nothing happens. Manual says something about "if available" which makes no sense to me.
Which stereo did you get and did you get the full adapter harness? When I did my '99 fader worked fine.

I dont know about a full adapter harness, it was the one they so.d me at Crutchfield. Only other thing I put in was the PACS adapter for,the buttons on the steering wheel.
Crap, pic won't show. It's the one from post #14. Sorry, on mobile now.
Does it allow you to change fader at all? If so, fade all the one one direction, and balance all the way one direction, see what happens. Change balance to opposite setting, see what happens.
As far as adapter harness, crutchfield should sell the steering adapter kit and the wiring adapter kit. It should be plug and play, the adapter to radio and adapter to factory wiring.

Balance works normally, fader not at all. It's weird. Crutchfield sold the harness and the PACS thingie seperately.Quote:

You will have to typically splice the in between on the radio end, but directly plug into the car. As far as I know the fader should be 100% controlled by the radio itself. I'd advise checking crutchfield's site or some audiophile sites regarding the actual stereo.

A cursory search of pioneer radios is that a ground fault can cause some features to fail. Try reinstalling your radio and pulling negative battery terminal for 1 minute.
Edit:
Check your owners manual, there is a post install initialization setup on pioneers, some ship from the factory with the wrong output mode enabled which will cause your issue.

Thanks, that's very helpful- I'll bet it is down to a little electrical gremlin, I'll reset it :)Quote:

Its all good, now all you need is to get those new speakers to bump.

I grabbed some new speakers for the front doors and some of the little tweeters along with rears and some leds on a Black Friday sale. Now I just need enough time away from my four year old to get them installed!Quote:

As for the rears, be careful with the pull tabs on the bottom of the bench seat as they like to break off. When replacing the rear shelf be extremely careful as it like to fold under the shroud for the breaklight instead of into the groove.

thanks man. I've had the rears out before and the door panels have been off for replacing a switch. But the advice on the tweeters is much appreciated since I've never had them out. :)Quote:

The only potential issue is the dome on the tweeters. Not sure the clearance on them.

I think the domes come off, Crutchfield said they're direct fit.Quote:

Cut it or disconnect it.
