We had a Pioneer car stereo fitted in the mrs’ car last year at Halfords
In the last couple of months it has started to go off and come back on (as if the power is going for a split second or is rebooting). Music goes off, along with the display on the front panel. It comes straight back on a second or so later.
When the auto stop/start kicks in the stereo also goes off and comes back on when the stop/start brings the engine back on - we're not sure if that's normal or due to how it was wired up by Halfords. It's done this since it was first fitted.
It still does it though if the auto stop/start is turned off.
Up until the other day, each time it went off she was in the same vicinity each time - either on the way to work at a certain location, or on the way home from work at a certain location. But there were some journeys where it never went off at all. I thought it was some sort of interference.
It's not always when the car is moving either - sometimes it does it whilst stationary at traffic lights.
In the last say 5 days though it has started to go off outside of the specific locations. One journey towards the end of last week (a short 10 minute drive) it went off about 10 times.
It's now looking more likely to me that it's a loose power connection or something like that. Unless it's linked to and issue with the auto stop/start?
I was wondering if anyone had seen anything like this before?
We'll probably get in contact with a local car stereo company rather than take it back to Halfords for them to troubleshoot.
Cheers.
