Thanks Mike. VW were saying I had to replace my whole head unit because I was having this problem with my Golf. The quote was $2400 for a new head unit. Saw this video. Quick trip to SuperCheap and $11 later radio volume knob working perfectly. You saved me over $2000! Legend!
Wow that’s great. You might have to repeat the process as it’s dirt / dust causing the problem. If it comes back just repeat the clean. 👍
2000$ for a new radio is crazy haha. They're like 150$ for a good one brand new. And like 30 minutes to install. So someone almost made 2000$ an hour.
They did the job under warranty to my dad's VW. such a waste of time, money and resources IMO
Thanks so much Mike. My Pioneer did the same until I watched your clip. Works awesome, back to normal now. You're a legend!!
Great to hear. You might have to repeat the process of it starts playing up again. 😎
Thanks Mike. Volume kept going up by itself, used WD40 and it worked like a charm. I have a cheap radio with BT which is all I need and saved me effort and money in replacing it :)
Glad it helped, You might have too redo it in the future, WD40 is not ideal as it will attract more dust, buy some electrical contact cleaner, it's pretty cheap and will get the contacts nice and clean.
So awesome. Fixed it quick. Used WD40 Electronic Part and Contact Cleaner. I'm so jazzed. Was wondering if I had to buy a whole new stereo. But I like the old school knobs on my original CD player. So big thanks man. I really appreciate it 👍
Thanks for the comment and I am glad it worked for you. 👍👍
i PULLED THE kNOB OFF fIRST.
Isn't that a bit personal?🤣🤣
Why didn't you pull the knob off first?
@@masterjefftkd if you like pulling your knob off go for it, none of my business what you do in the privacy of your home.
Same exact radio I have!....thanks for the tip!
Yeah common problem with them. I have to keep cleaning it as it starts doing it again after a while.
Dude... Thank you so very much! I was considering having Best Buy install a new stereo (probably $600 for the touch screen I wanted) in my minivan but this worked like freakin' magic! I used the WD-40 version whilst in the very Walmart parking lot where I purchased it for $8.00-ish. Great info, dude! Be blessed.
Yes WD40 now has it available here, I will be buying that one in the future. SCA is a generic store brand from Supercheap Auto, an auto accessories chain we have here in Australia. You might have to repeat as it's dirt and dust in the mechanism.
I have the same stereo in my Nissan pick up and and this worked beautifully. Worked so well I tried it in my with the factory stereo and it worked also
It cleans the contacts, but when they get dirty again the problem will return and you will need to repeat. But beats buying a new stereo.
Had the same problem with my Pioneer DEH 3900BT and it worked thanks for this.
Glad it worked.Keep in mind the problem will likely return as it's dirt/dust build up causing it, so just repeat as needed.
Funny cuz I have the same one
Common issue apparently.
Nice one Mike maybe you need to put one of them little straws on the nozzle to get a better blast in the gap. I must get to supercheap and buy a can of this and also the plastic drip tray. Cheers 👍
Yeah that’s exactly what it needs. That little straw from the WD40 spray can. Will try that next time if it fits. I am sure I will need to do this again. 👍
@@MikesManCave I used a straw nozzle can CRC No Contact. Perfect
Same stereo, I will give it a shot tomorrow!
Hope it works for you, unfortunately it's a common issue with these stereos and you will have to keep repeating the process.
BIG Thanks Mike! Perfectly works now!
Ps.:I could not buy the SCA one so i had to buy one from the Repco(btw,i think its even better,its cheaper and it comes with a little straw)
Car: Mitsubishi Outlander 2004
Any electrical parts cleaner will work. You might have to repeat in the future, as it's dirt / dust causing the issue and dirt / dust will eventually return.
I have two identical Pioneers and both did the same thing.
Common problem. This will fix it for a while. Problem will come back and you need to do it again. Problem is caused by dirt, dust and corrosion.
i got the exact same radio, does it still work after this ?
Yep, that's the whole point of the video.
The electronics cleaner is a temporary fix. I tried DeoxIT FaderLube and worked for me.
Everything is a temporary fix, it's a design fault, once the contacts get dirty again the problem will return no matter what product you use.
This seems to be a problem with a lot of pioneer radios, a have a different unit but same issue
The newer units seem to be better, this problem will come back as it's caused by dirt/dust build up. So you will need to keep repeating this procedure.
Hope pioneer watches this. So they can see a rotary encoder for volume and extra stuff suck!
Yep. It’s a bad design, they all fail eventually.
Cool but I know that using a plastic long tubing that should come with the spray bottle you have, will work better !
No long plastic tubing comes with the spray bottle I have. If it did it would have been in the video.
Thank you so much for this! My 2010 fit factory volume dial was all jacked up. It’s not a good feeling when you want the volume lower and it only Keeps going up and distorting. This trip fix my issue. A used factory unit may need re programming and most yards don’t know these radios ask for a code whenever the power is disconnected. The code is in the glove box and if this parts off a used parts shelf with no code it’s useless. Again can’t thank you enough
Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.
tOTALLY WORKED! tHANK YOU, mIKE!
Glad it worked for you. 👍
Saved me $120 thanks
Great to hear. You will need to repeat it once it gets dirty again
Can we used compressed air in a can instead ?
you can try.
It worked for me. You're the man
Glad it worked, thanks for leaving feed back of your results.
I didnt have that spray so i just did it without spray and it fixed it
How do you spray something without spray??
@@MikesManCavehe skeeted on it
Some knobs have issues with static or something, so you probably just fixed that temporarily. I can do that in my car, but it doesn’t last long. Typically lasts longer with the cleaner.
Could I use compressed air?
You can use what you like, but I doubt it will do much.
Were can you buy it from please
You buy SCA products from SCA, but you can buy different brand electrical parts cleaners from most electrical supplies stores.
Thanks bro it worked
Glad to hear it did the job. 👍👍
That's a perfect name for this issue, nice.
Thanks for the comment 👍👍😎
Link to the radio??
Why do you want a link to an obsolete faulty radio??
@@MikesManCave a couple things I have a radio very similar to this one so I wanted to buy another because mine worked well with no problems. 2 I didn’t know this radio was obsolete and actually as I’m typing this comment I have ordered a brand new one so nvm 😂
I had that same problem I tried that and it fixed my stereo to thanks
Glad to hear it worked for you, getting lots of positive feed back on this one. Thanks for the comment. 👍
can we use brake degreaser
These are sensitive electronic devices. I doubt brake cleaner is an option.
@@MikesManCave Sure thanks. But honestly, I tried with a bit of it and fir now it has solved the problem. I cleared the excess spray right away 😀
Where I live it's called "brake parts cleaner" and it works wonders. However, it melts the plastic knobs and buttons.
Totally worked!! Thank you!
Great to hear, keep in mind that the issue is caused by dirt/dust and that you may have to repeat in the future.
How about wd40
WD40 is a lubricant and water displacer, not an electrical parts cleaner. Parts cleaner leaves no residue while WD40 would likely destroy your stereo.
@@MikesManCave I just use wd40 and work perfect beside Scotty killmore use it to and nothing happen to Electronics
@@petermuniz9296 See how it goes after all the dust and rubbish accumulates because you have now made everything oily and sticky. The point is to clean the contacts to remove any build up residue, not add oil to attract dirt and dust making the problem worse. Electrical cleaners and WD40 oil are the completely opposite product.
@@MikesManCave let see what happen
What kind of can did you use??
Not sure what you are asking.
Would a wd40 Can work?
@@TwigHead117 No WD40 is lubricant not a cleaner
