Babyjuice Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 The headunit is a pioneer p3100dvd and my problem is whenever I turn on my headlights/fog lights/running lights it dims a good amount (like goes from the brightness on an ipod all the way up to it being all the way turned down). What is causing this and can it be fixed? BABYJUICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

Babyjuice Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I didn't even know it had a dimmer setting, and I had it installed 2 years ago when I wasn't big into audio, and the truck is an 03 f250. And thanks for the replies, when I get out in the morning ill check those settings BABYJUICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
