Help! Headunit In R33 Dying Under Power/parkers

[Starionturbo]

hey guys

I installed my system today into my R33 and have come across 2 issues.

System works beatifully, but turn the volume up on a bassy song, the head unit just cuts power and resets itself and turns back on again in a second. Also when the parkers/lights are turned on, the unit turns off.

We have checked and changed earthing points, everything.

All I can think of is that the headunit is getting too much power and has some sort of protection mode that cuts it out, its annoying and quite frustrating.

A mate suggested this is a common problem in nissans, with the Luminecience wire affecting what happens when the lights are on and off - but we still dont know why the headunit cuts out when its turned up a little bit - very dissapointing.

If you can help itd be MUCH appreciated.

Kind regards

change the ground on the radio. you are using the lights wire as the ground. run the black wire to the frame of the car. if you have an orange wire tie that to the light wire ( red/blu )

what headunit?
