20 Most Recent Pioneer DEH-1500 CD Player Questions & Answers

The manual says a code 10 is Electrical or mechanical. The say the solution is to turn the ignition on and off, or switch to a different source, then back to cd player.

Get a new unit. The damage was done before the smoke was present.

Hello gcd_sun,

The RCA jacks on the back of the Pioneer DEH-1500 are preamp outputs, not inputs. They are to connect an external amplifier for additional speakers or subwoofers.

The output from your iPod is probably "bleeding over" into the receiver detector stage. When the antenna is disconnected, the signal passes into the amp by itself. Connecting the antenna provides enough signal so that both are amplified.

To connect the iPod, you need to purchase a wireless iPod adapter, or a new head unit that includes an "AUX" input or a dedicated adapter for the iPod.

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, this unit does not have a cell phone mute feature, so you will not be able to do it using the deck. You will have to look into an external solution.

The constant power (yellow wire) needs to be connected to an unswitched +12V source. It sounds like that's either unconnected or you've connected it to a switched power source.

Turn on the radio. Press and hold the "Source" button until the radio goes off. Press and hold the "Audio" button until the numbers flash. Use cursor/arrow buttons to adjust the time. Press and hold the "Audio" button to exit.

Are you sure you have the correct face for the radio. Most pioneer faces are not interchangable.

Hi, are you talking about the colors of the head unit wires or the car wires? Please tell me your car model and year.
