JBL Car Audio & Video - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

Could be a bad ground i wish u lived around me I run my own audio installation business

It sounds like you have a disc stuck and it's overriding any commands. I would put the key to acc. Then I would unplug the cd changer from the back of changer and after a min or 2 plug it back in as you hold down on the eject button

Everyone keeps talking about a reset small hole around eject button/ power switch. I have the JBL 6 disc changer. Where is this reset hole on that system? 2002 Camry.

Hi,

Initially, have you tried a full hard reset? The reset button is at the panel at the back of the faceplate, bottom left side. Of course doing so will also erase all presets and user settings & configurations.

Additionally, pls verify that the multiple contacts pins are clean, free of corrosion and makes a positive contact with its mate at the rear of the faceplate. If the unit is used in a salty environment, it may be necessary to manually scrape of whatever blue green build up develops between the connector pins and the plastic insulator. You can try using an old toothbrush and WD40.

Further to check are:
1. the red, yellow and black wire are tightly connected where they are supposed to be connected. If the unit is used onboard, it might be to your advantage to likewise check the grounding system;
2. one of the rear connector is for a remote, pls likewise check that none of the pins are shorting and no presence of any corrosion.

If problem persists, it may be necessary to seek the services of a qualified professional as this involves opening the unit up and tracing the circuitry of the logic/controller circuit.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

YOU MAY HAVE TO GOING THE MENU AND CHECK THE REAR SEAT SETUP

Check the fuse if the fuse is good check if you have pluged the face well

Any speaker, if abused, can be blown. And if overdriven with dirty power at extreme levels it is not uncommon to burn out the voice coil. You might also want to check out the speaker surrounds. If they go, the speaker works but sounds lousy. Localize the problem by hooking up two known good working speakers and see what happens. If they also do not work properly or sound like cr-p then the radio is at issue.

Bad or shorted voice coil on sub maybe. If you have two subs try them one at a time to see if it goes into protect mode. Whatever sub does it is bad.

It is very dependent on your vehicle and whether you are using the built-in amp of the head unit or a separate amp. Ideally, I would recommend a good 6.5" component set.

Having them wired in series. Should only be a ground issue.

Lester, probably has a remote.

You need to calculate the amount of amps being driven through that fuse + the amount you need to feed the amplifier. In my Volvo S40 and V70 I had no problems driving an amplifier of the rear power connector, but on my Honda S2000 however I had to create a different connection all the way to the battery line for a smaller amp (connection as in cables, condensers/filters and fuses).

I've had this happen before with car stereo's uh i just normally unscrew the screws out of the top of the player to where you can get to the tray or slot for the cds and force the cd tray or the cd itself out but be careful and not break the cd this might work it usually does for me

This video should help. Believe it's the same engine you have:

single channel about 1kW output power. About $250 when new. Specs here http://www.crutchfield.com/S-dVhyYWWFkBd/p_115GTO1201/JBL-Grand-Touring-Series-GTO1201-1-II.html

Use a C or D size battery. Get two pieces of wire. Strip each end. Wire one end of each to the sub. The other ends you will place one on the top of the battery and, one on the bottom of the battery. If the cone moves outward, you have the correct polarity. If the cone moves inward(toward the back of the speaker) then you have the polarity backwards
