I've got a weird problem . . .
I have an older double din Pioneer Model AVH-3200BT the previous owner had installed in my 2006 Tundra.
He upgraded the speakers over stock at the same time. . . but nothing fancy . . . no amp, (that I'm aware of) and no subs etc.
I had to disconnect the battery today to do some unrelated work on the truck . . . for maybe 3 hours.
Hooked the battery back up, and everything on the truck works fine . . . except no volume on the radio at all . . . zero.
This has never happened before . . . even when I replaced the battery 3 years ago.
The unit itself still powers up fine, and everything 'functions' . . . . just no volume.
I have the owners manual (basically memorized now) and did a 'factory re-set' nothing. Tried that a couple times . . . nada.
What's even more odd, is the back up camera still works fine.
Even the bluetooth recognizes my phone and will 'try' to send or receive a call . . . just no volume.
I dove into and scrolled through all the units menu settings that I thought might be related . . . nada.
CD player pulls in the cd and spins up . . . but no volume.
Even the USB port will power up my iphone.
I checked every fuse under the hood between 7.5 and 25 amps and they were all fine.
I did the same for all the ones under the footwell. . . . nada.
I know there is a 10 amp fuse behind the unit itself . . . but I haven't accessed it yet.
But because the unit powers up and operates fine minus the volume . . . it doesn't seem to me that fuse will be blown.
I'm pretty much clueless on electrical, especially car audio . . . but I've got enough sense to check the 'basics'.
it 'seems' to me that I'm either missing something simple in the units 'setup' . . . or there is a problem powering out to the speakers.
Nothing else 'unusual' to mention other than recently swapping out some light bulbs to LED . . . but the radio has worked fine for the couple weeks since I did that.
I figured it never hurts to ask on here, since there's so many peeps with skills.
I'd like to avoid taking it to a stereo shop and paying a wad of cash for something simple if at possible.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts . . . .
