So I figured I'd try the aux imput thingy on my head unit. There's a 2.5mm stereo jack on the bottom of the faceplate that you can plug a mp3, etc into and have it played through the system. Well, when I tried to plug in my iPod, I saw a freaking little spark and now my HU is acting all apesh*t! Now I gotta get a new one. I don't know how the hell it sparked. I tried resetting it, but still no worky.

First a damn speeding ticket (f*cking cops placed a speed trap after this exit ramp on a freeway, no sh*t people would be a little fast getting off there) and now this.

 

Your HU sparked when you were plugging in an aux wire? Wow that's new.

Sucks, Gordo, can you fight the ticket?

 

hopefully u only need to replace an inline fuse?

 

User error? Hopefully you bought it locally so you wont need any stamps to send it off Warranty FTW.

knock on wood, i havent gotten a ticket in over a year, which is hella good for me conparatively.

 

yeah got the HU locally, gotta love warranty. don't think i blew a fuse, the HU turns on fine, but just acts goofy now.

as for the ticket, don't know if i should fight it or not. this is my FIRST ticket EVER. maybe the judge will have some sympathy. another thing, my court date is on the 31st of this month, at 9 PM!!

 

Consider yourself lucky. Ive taken the driver improvement course 3 times (I think) as well as a few tickets in between that I couldn't take the class for, since you can only take it once every 12 months. Not to mention like 10 parking tickets and been booted twice on this f'in campus, but those arent points so whatever.

My first ticket was 47 in a 35 on my learners permit with my dad in the passenger seat. Not many people I meet top that

 

they said i was going 53 in a 35. lame...from limit of 60 on the freeway to 35 on the exit ramp....stupid i tell ya...

my X50 flashed laser and i knew i was f*cked.

 

I think theres some law, at least here, where they have to give you a certain distance to slow down...who knows

 

who know, but we'll see. i'll feel better if i can have my radio working again.

thats the strangest thing ive heard.. why would that happen? static electricity? lol that sucks good luck man

 

ehhhhhh i just bought that exact CD player and was JUST fixing to go to walmart to buy an adapter to hook my Ipod up there .......NOT NOW!!!! i'll pay the $50 bucks for the adapter from pioneer to hook it up in the back, screw that, i don't wanna screw my player up i love it, and sorry to hear yours messed up

and cops suck.......they have traps all over here in fort payne....i just know where they usually have them at

 

What model was it?

 

it's probably a faulty unit. i have friends with the same deck and they use the aux input just fine.

its a DEH-680MP

 

so after all that u still didnt change ur drving habits, you deserve what you get. driver improvement course wont change you, you need to change urself

 

got the replacement HU installed, the rainbows are singing once again.

as for the ticket...still waiting for my court date to arrive. i just want to get this BS over with.

 

ohhh dont you feel special?

now im going to go hunt your threads down!

 

I was talking to Gordon. I could hunt down the number of useless posts youve made but I don't have all night.


I dont know if your trying to be sarcastic or not with that exclamation point, and I see you calmed down in your own thread, but Im still in the mood to pick apart what your saying.

 

this is MY thread...

 

Would you like me to search Yours?

 

sure go ahead if you like, now to acmax did you ask them to see the radar gun, or did he ask you if you would like to see it?

 

it was a speed trap, his partner was shootin down drivers left and right. after he clocked my speed, he told his partner, which inputed the info to the little ticket printer thingy.

so even if i asked to see the speed, odds are it won't be of mine.

 

if it was a speed trap i dont think he will be waiting for you in court, so just go to court and show up and get it dismissed, because 99% hes not going ot be there. and if he is you still can ask him questions and such where if he answers anything incorrect then you can get the judge to drop the case. just play it smart. i got the wierdest ticket once though where the cop said he caught me doing this at this time, but thought i was going faster so wrote me a ticket for 10mph faster than what he clocked me for, lol

well actually it might not be a real court date, but where you get this paper to plead not guilty or guilty and then they assign the date.

 

i spoke to several cops. officers doing speed traps will more than likely show up up to these hearings...if you can call it a hearing. it's the ones that are not specifically assigned to traffic duty that seldom shows up.
