AVIC-Z110BT mute problems.
Question/problem:
After having a AVIC-Z110BT installed this winter I have been having problems with the head unit staying in mute for 15 min or so after I start the car. It is random and it just started. I do not push the mute button to cause this and when it is muted pushing the button does not do anything
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Not yet, but it 100% a heat problem, it never shuts down after the car is running. Only when getting in it after it has been in the sun for a few hours. My installer is going look at it again, I well kep you posted.

What interface are you using to pick up the mute wire? I'm using the GMOS-100i and am wondering if it is the component that is not working right. I might try cutting the mute wire and seeing what happens. One thing is for sure, if we are both having this problem, it's not a wiring issue.

That's a config option in the headunit. Under "Audio Settings", you can set mute to be "10db, 20db or all". 10/20db in an attenuation level and all means full mute (which will also pause a pausable music source). If it toggle this setting when it I'm having the problem, I can get different attenuation levels and full mute. I just can't disable it. Which is why I think the interface may be sending a faulty mute signal when it is hot.
