Fix Pioneer Deck Induced Noise

Well, installed my pioneer deh-p600ub deck back into my car today after blowing the RCA. As some know, pioneer decks have a small fuse inside that protects the unit from damage through the RCA outputs. When this fuse blows, you get inescapable noise that can only be described by alternator whine turned up to 11. You can hear everything from engine noise to the CD mech spinning. You sit in your car and curse the gods of car audio only to realize most likely, you did it to yourself.

First and foremost, while this will fix it, for the love of Christ, don’t do it! Proceed at your own risk.

Feeling Game ? Lets Proceed.
