Title: Sony out !!
Post by: FatJohn on June 01, 2018, 01:52:03 AM
The Sony unit that I have in a 05 Glider just went out on me. Don't remember the model it is but it has a detachable face plate and it is a marine unit.
The USB says error, radio doesn't broadcast, no weather band.
So I thought might be the speakers but when I turn the bike off I get the chimes from the radio powering down, also when the volume is adjusted standerd chirp of adjustment.
The only thing I did so far was disconnect the power to it hoping to reset the system.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Looked for the reset and not there. Might try firmware update and if it's a no go I'll look for a new unit. The thing is only 4 years old and I'm not interested in replacing every 4 years.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I used to run the Biketronics stuff years ago with a Sony but my 107" vibrated the cd to a early death all the time so I gave up on it same with the oem unit it wouldn't last long ether . But a friend of mine had a good deal going with his Sony unit , he purchased the cheap ole extended warranty at Best Buy or were ever he got his unit at and like clock work it would take a dump and of to the store he went with receipt and radio and out he would come with a new unit every time  :wink:
