I installed an Audio 10 CD head unit last Thursday. It sounds great with the Bose system.

Sometimes when I start the car the Audio 10 does not have any output. It appears to be on and working, but no output. It can be turned on/off, switch between stations or switch to CD, but the entire time with no output from the speakers. If I restart the car a few times it will finally turn on okay.

I have removed/reinstalled the Audio 10 with the battery disconnected a few times w/o change. It seems to work most of the time if I turn the Audio 10 off before I turn the car off. Sometimes the Audio 10 will work with key in accessory position, but when you start the car the Audio 10 then has no output.

Has anyone else experienced any problems like this? Please help.

just curious, where'd you get your audio 10? i'm thinking of doing the same thing if i can find one, but i hate to think that your problem stems from a shady ebay transaction.

www.ebay.de

I used freetranslation.com and c2it.com for wire transfer.

got mine from ebay.de as well - no problems at all.
