Hey Guys and Gals,

I am going to ask for some advice with regards to the stocko stero in an 05 CD Vectra I have a friend who is having some issue with the Single Disc MP3 sound system. She is loosing all her bass and have volume issues this only occurs after a day in the heat. Can anyone off some tips to fix this other then ripping it out and putting a new system in?

I also have read that the stero in the CDX astra can be a bit of an issue. Is this true and is there something I can be on the lookout for? I dont have the car as yet as I am been screwed around by the dealer.

Cheers Matt :)

well its 05 so take it to Holden and tell them to fix it, that is wat a warranty is for

Exactly right - take it back to Holden, BEFORE you start messing around with it, (or they might say YOU messed it up) and get them to fix it :)

Otherwise if you have the cash and the time, rip it out, throw it away and upgrade your ICE install as most other people end up doing anyway........;)

Certainly sounds like the power amp is overheating in the head unit. These are shocking anyway in stock stereos - you might as well hook up a gerbil in a wheel to run yur speakers, it'd give a cleaner signal.

Dump the headunit, or add a fan into the rear of it to blow cold air over it. Holden warranty is your first stop, but I'd suggest an upgrade is your only good option.
