(for those who may remember)This is always there sound down to zero included, put it into reverse (No audio) hiss still there.Next is the reverse sensors have been amplified, deafening if volume of stereo is left up.When the phone rings it no longer sounds through the speakers but the number displays on the screen.I have searched through a lot of other posts and found a few similar regarding the hiss, but according to my receipt it has a LLC fitted.Does anyone have any solutions, thoughts or advice to rectify?What may they have done but should or shouldn't have done?ThanksAny help is very much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an introduced noise, it's just a poorly made head unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam_rigger Member 246 Member For: 13y 3m 9d Posted 21/05/12 10:58 AM Share Posted 21/05/12 10:58 AM I've just had a similar setup installed, but using an LC-6 and alpine type R speakers, pdx-f4 amp etc, and the hiss is damn annoying. I'm thinking of buying a head unit. But, I've spent more than I wanted to already, might just remove the amp and LC-6 and just use the speakers on the ICC.

Getting one shipped in via my alberts mate does the job apparently. Should work for smaller systems pretty well!! Considering I have quite a decent system and it will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the noise is a big deal considering when I'm in the car I have music blasting would drown out the noise:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donating Members 2,068 Member For: 13y 7m 3d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 22/05/12 05:15 AM Share Posted 22/05/12 05:15 AM I found in my car the noise of the system was only amplified through everything else. When I turned it up sadly the noise just got worse.- It was not helped by me playing the music via my ipod. - whenever I did that I had the hiss from the head unit and the whine from the ipod charger.Noisy or not though anything is an improvement over the standard system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
