trouble shoot digital radio on avh-p4400bh

Hey guys,
I just installed this HU nothing shows up on the digital radio screen. It is acting like I have nothing hooked up. I made sure the antenna is plugged in. Am I missing something? I have no FM/AM channels.

 

Is the hu getting power? Did you plug the cables up correctly, have you reconnected the battery? Just to ask a couple questions

 

Yes everything is connected and working well except two things: the back-up camera, and the digital radio. Thank you for your response...man I hope I didn't get a bad HU.

 

the steering wheel controls work and the E-break bypass works great. I don't know of any other wires to connect to make the digital radio work other then plugging in the antenna. ?

The back-up camera I think may be a bad connection at the plug. I will trouble shoot that after this radio thing. Any ideas?

 

Bump...Has anyone else had this issue with their Pioneer HU?

 

I did hook-up a E-break bypass. It had 3 wires and the instructions said to hook the blue wire (bypass) to the blue/white wire (HU) which is the power antenna wire. Would hooking up the bypass make the Digital Audio think it is hooked to a power antenna? This could be my mistake...??

 

Not sure about the digital radio. But, did you put the camera settings up correctly? Polarity should be set to "Battery."

Also, I would reset the HU before you try anything else. My AVH 4300 has a small reset button on the bottom left of the unit. It might just fix both issues.

 

Thanks for the reply Oh Yeah! I cannot find a reset button on this HU. I will set the polarity to battery and try it again. I used this thread to wire in the yellow RCA cable and switch wire.

I contacted Pioneer and they are telling me to get an antenna booster to get the digital radio to work. I cannot find one anywhere. I guess I will have to order it online and wait for it to get here.

 

I'm not going with the antenna booster and just decided that I am going to take this thing back and exchange it. It appears to be a bad HU. Oh, and the only way to reset this HU is to disconnect it for 20 minutes per the pioneer trouble shooting rep.

 

yeah, it seems like its not working properly if you need to buy an add on for HD radio.. good luck

 

Coming back here to say that I ended up returning the HU and purchased another one just like it. The back-up camera along with the digital radio works great. I obviously just had a bad HU.
