    I, personally, think it has to do with a power distribution issue with the maistro but I have no clue honestly. Never got around to bench testing with so I’ll just live with it. Part of me wants to switch over to the crux but that about as far down the priority list as you can get

    Is it still doing it after firmware upgrades and whatnot? I dumped my Pioneer because of the reboots. I probably will end up ripping it out and going Office Space on it if I have it happen again.

    Yup, tried everything with it: Upgrades. No phones, watches… every phone, tablet, wifi device I own inside the cab.

    You figure out how to do vehicle in motion? I’d assume it’s just grounding out the specified wire as with the kenwoods

    Yep, this HU only needs a ground signal on the parking break sensor, buuuut it has to come after system startup. I bought this and it worked perfect. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284784747135

    I think I learned how to use PlastiDip about a week later lol. And then how much of a bitch it is to remove PlastiDip that’s been in the Arizona sun for more than a month.

    Noticed today that my whip connector was all beat to hell, so I decided it was time to swap it out to a DT setup. I already had the connectors on hand and used open barrel connectors and heat shrink to splice the pigtails onto the whip cables.
