Top 20 Power Acoustik PTID-5800 Car Video Player Questions & Answers

Unfortunately it's not that simple : the drive lock is done thru an electronic command - the player gets this information from the ECM, not just a simple Park wire.
To make it work the entire wiring of the player must be modified - a fiddly job that must be left to a pro shop (if you can find one that is willing to do it - illegal and severely punishable). Unless of course you want to do it yourself and risk frying the entire electronics of the car.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MINE CAN SOMEONE
PLEASE HELP THANKS

HOOK IT TO THE GROUND WIRE (BLACK)

over heated it man thse radios very poor heat protection off brands not great for sterios alll day no ventlation main amp no good i would just get new ken wood calrion ect ok

yes, the solution is very simple and i dunnow why the manual doesnt mention it.

Try placing a jpg file of ur choice on the cd or dvd or usb flash memory, and choose it or just move the cursor on it, if u choose it(BY PRESSING ENTER) or as if u will play it, it becomes full screen, if u just place the cursor on it from the menu it will show as a small icon on the left of the soings menu of the MP3 file list.
Further more, if u place more than one file, and press enter on one, the PTID5800 will start a slide show! To pause one image, press pause(play) or zoom, u can even forward images and back them up using ffwd and reverse! it only accepts jpg, didnt accept GIF but sometimes it accepts BMP dunnow which ones, but to play it safe, stick to JPGs

Question edited for a lot more clarity, full make model (what it is)'. Question moved from Televisions category. The warning message may have been useful! People don't realise that factory car audio is operated by and monitored by the Body Control Module (BCM) on a computer network. Your warning chimes and indicator clickers are generated by the BCM and played through the car audio system. The computer has no idea that this new device is! Take it to an auto electrician or to an Alarm / Audio installer and see if their professional bi-directional grade scan tool computer can reprogram the BCM to ignore your device. Or just put the old one back. ..

Running straight power from the battery suggests there's another option, as for instance running mains power... How could having two ground wires work, please?

That usually happens when the switch is dirty. You can flood it with electrical contact cleaner. Also make sure the speaker connections are good and the polarity is correct. https://www.google.com/search?q=power+acoustik+pd-651b+makes+popping+noises ..

Question edited for clarity. The way I read the product specs, it needs an amplifier? https://poweracoustik.com/product/pd-624b/ https://www.google.com/search?q=Power+Acoustik+PD-624B ..

1. Make sure the disc you are trying to play is compatible with the radio. The radio may not support certain formats or types of discs.
2. Check the disc for any visible damage, such as scratches or fingerprints, that may be preventing it from playing properly.
3. Check the CD player for any debris or foreign objects that may be preventing the disc from being read properly.
4. If you are using an aftermarket CD changer, make sure it is properly connected to the radio and functioning correctly.

Okay I am assuming that you are referring to a USB thumb drive aka memory stick which contains mp3, wma (YOUR STEREO ONLY PLAYS MP3 AND WMA VIA USB NOTHING ELSE MANUAL SAYS) audio tracks and a certain specific format (formatting is done on computer, windows and different types of formats are supported on different devices). NTFS, fat32, exfat. Typically I think they like fat32 before but I have had all of my drives formatted for NTFS on newer equipment and had no issue with it. Um since you checked the drive and its working it's probably not that. It could be the connector on your stereo there. But if its new it's probably a formatting/compaitbility issue with the stereo. Heres the manual http://www.poweracoustik.com/pa2012/manuals/PD-710-T.pdf Also this stereo is a really cheap brand so they don't work as well and dont have that great of support. A Google search of that an similar stereos from them came up with several issues. There is very little USB power coming from that port so it's probably only enough power to connect a thumb drive. Some people have cables connecting to other devices and that is probably not going to work. I would get a different usb stick reformat it on the computer and copy some mp3's over.

You created a short circuit.

It may connect to another if receiver, if you have a second screen in the back of the vehicle you can control the unit from there.

It depends on how many channels are on the Amp. If it's a 2 channel you can bridge it using the positive on one channel and use the negative on the other channel. The Amp will give the sub more power bridging the sub.
