WHEN STOPPING THE RADIO WILL BLINK OFF, AND THE CD CHANGER WILL MAKE EJECTING NOISES LIKE A TAPE PLAYER. IF ANY ACCESSORIES "ARE" ACTUALLY PLUGGED IN YOU WILL GET STATIC AND ELECTRICAL WHINING FROM THE SPEAKERS. VEHICLE WILL GIVE HARD START ISSUES AFTER EXPERIENCING THE LIGHT DIM AND FLICKER ISSUE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD ALL THE PLUGS AND WIRES REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THESE ISSUES. *TR |
