Replying to: billyd (Feb 13, 2005 5:58 pm) BillyD.. Thanks for the help! I'm sure you're right. I'm going there this morning to pick up a dvd they "found" and are holding for me. Best regards, Dennis
#13 of 31 Aftermarket radio install by 05magnumsxt May 14, 2005 (10:09 pm)
I have a question for someone out there. I am trying to install a pioneer cd player in my '05 magnum. I have installed the wiring harness and necessary adapters to do it right, but now the check engine light is on and the left rear window does not work. When I re-install the stock radio, everything is fine, so I know it's the pioneer. I have heard that some of the new vehicles do this, but I would think that there is a way around it. By the way, the pioneer sounds great, but I don't want to leave it like that. I will appreciate any help!

Replying to: kowalski (May 14, 2005 11:02 pm) Thanks for the response! I know someone out there will have the answer; I can't be the only one that has come across this. And, if need be, I'll take your advice and pay someone to do it. Replies to this message: kowalski (May 16, 2005 12:31 pm) chr12345us (Jun 02, 2005 9:27 am)

Find a good local shop they may be fair in figureing your situation out.. I know in my gut its all connected to the antitheft system and thats one hell of a head ache I know what your going thru .. If your luck its just a connection you missed to check ..check all plugs are tight etc..

Replying to: 05magnumsxt (May 16, 2005 5:54 am) Aftermarket radio is not a good sollution in these cars. I would strongly advise you to upgrade to the better ones from DC (if you don't already have one). Here's the problem: There are three types of radios (witout CD changer, with 6CD and with NAV) and they all connect to an amplifier 4 or 6 speakers. All aftermaket radios have a +12V signal that "turns on" the amp and or the antenna. Chrysler is no longer using that, they use the CAN bus to send a "digital turn-on message" to the amp. For all I know you shorted the CAN bus (which by the way is being used by all the other control systems in the car).

Replying to: romannumal (May 16, 2005 8:05 pm) congrats,you got a great car .....and price depending on where you live in the US.. Nav and towing package is well worth it ,dont buy the delares program service plans etc and that insurence plan to cover difference if your insurence company wont.. Its all BS not worth the money the dealer pockets it all ....... The oli change plan is the biggest joke I want mobile one in my car not sdome cheap low grade oil which Im sure they would use....   Things to keep in mind when signing the papers and the pressure is on .. Walk ,they ll chase you,lol.... Ive done it many times and have gotten some great deals on cars .. Keep in mind never pay more than a 1% over sticker list .. Dont let the lease pull you in with disregard for your list price keep that in focus.. I bought no lease I hate leasing its like throwing your money away and conditions one to live beyond ones means.. If you cant afford it ,save till you can dont impluse buy a car ever..   Have the car under coated Carsmart runs deals for approx 150.00   The cd player is a bit different than others Ive had. Theres a loading cycle for each disc youll find it ..The system is actually good and give good base ....... It is more than good it rocks .........   Its not like other cd palyers Ive had that you can just jam the discs in and they load,this system on the magnum has a few seconds before it will allow you to load the disc so check the led read out and follow its prompts.. Setting the clock I have no idea should be easy ,lol..   welcome to the club..
