Stereo connection not stable
« on: September 17, 2021, 04:16:42 PM »
Hi,

I replaced the older Sony receiver my 79' TA came with (purchased the car 5 years ago).  The speakers were busted so I didn't know how well this "90's" unit worked.  Anyway, I purchased a Sony and also installed new Infinity 6x9 speakers in the rear deck. 
When the car is on 'accessory mode', the stereo plays/sounds great.  When you turn on the car and turn on the stereo, the connection comes and goes (see url for video) which is very annoying. How can I begin to troubleshoot?  Everything else in the car works find (lights, etc).  Thanks in advance

A Camaro looks like it could kick your ass.
A Trans Am looks like it's coming over to do it

You are getting interference and noise from the car running, the older units had filters that modern units don't utilize. I would try to get an aftermarket noise filter and see if that helps.

The audio issue happens no matter what source it is (radio, pandora, etc).

Oddly enough, a week or so after reporting this the audio is normal and the interference is gone.  WTH!!!  I'm not sure why but I won't bother with anything unless the issue returns.  Thanks
