That is apparently the limitation of the device. You should make folders for each artist anyway and sort the songs accordingly.

Follow the instructions on page 20 of this manual.

Most likely the contacts on the back of the faceplate which connect it to the unit are dirty. These are the gold/brass looking bits. If you remove the faceplate and clean the contacts gently with a small amount of methylated spirits on a q-tip or cotton bud it should do the trick. Also worth cleaning the spot on the unit where the contacts connect. Make sure it is completely dried out before you put the faceplate back on. Cheers, Dan

i'm assuming you are going through an amplifier. if so it sounds like you are using the blue wire instead of the blue/white wire to turn the amplifier on. i can't really help you with the bluetooth though.

it sounds like the volume control itself is bad, or needs to be cleaned.

ok this worked for the kdc-x693 I just did it.first you need the remote. then turn on the car and unit instantly hold the auto button down and rotate the right control knob clockwise untill the display reads this. security clear

just like that on the screen.then tap the 5 button on the remote.
that will scroll through the letters on the #5 button then push the >>button on the remote you need to spell kcar out on the screen.

have you tryed all the wires the power might not be going to it or 1 of the main wire might of come out. or might just have to get a new cd changer

You are working your deck to hard, it is overheating and shutting down (protection mode) You like it loud, you will need a 4 channel amp. Also check the ground on your deck to ensure it has a nice connection.

if you didnt use a wire adapter and wired it yourself check that you have both powers to it. one power is on all the time and the other is power to power up your receiver.

Put the stereo on standby and enter the settings menu. You should then be able to set the time just make sure you stay away from the security code.

does it keep cutting in and out?
if so i think you have your polarities crossed
make sure you have negative to negative positive to positive

You may have a short in a speaker. Check to see that the wire terminals on the speaker itself aren't touching any metal. Even 1 terminal touching metal will cause issues. Hope this helps.
