Xsvi-2004 options
I have a Kewood in my 02 for about a year now, last year was flawless.. this year is the exact opposite.
It shuts down randomly and reboots all the time.. maybe in 5 miles it might reboot 4 times or it may not
reboot at all. the dealer says is the xsvi box,, not sure myself, sent the hu in and Kw went throught and reset
same thing when i got it back, suppossed to be receiving a new xsvi box tomorrow. I am wondering if there
is a better option, cause if it went once, am sure it will go again.. it is very frustrating, get in a groove, and
the damn thing shuts down...
any help would be appreciated,
i have heard, that this is a common problem with the Axxess xsvi 2004
TIA

i've heard of this before, but not sure how common it is. If you want to try the PAC interface, here it is:

thanks, they are replacing this under warranty,, but i don t want to have to do this every year.
will have a look at the pac
- For 1997 - 2002 Chevrolet corvette vehicles
- Factory Bose EQ cannot be retained, optional tweeters are needed to maintain high frequencies

well.. weeks later and still the same issue.. Kenwood has been to their shop twice and still there, and they say nothing wrong with it.
Runs flawlessly on the bench, have changed both the Axxcess boxes and same thing. I nor the shop has an idea what the deal is
I changed nothing over the winter on the car, the battery voltage is a constant 13.2 - 13.6 always, so can t be a voltage issue i think.
Shop is going to re wire the car a bit, power direct to battery and ground direct to ground close by, I can t see this fixing the problem either..
I am lost. i put the Delco back in and hooks up and does not shut down, only problem with it is, i have no volume on it now.. full tilt and can t
here it if car is running, so not sure what up with that.. I just want the Kenwood running again.

Replaced the boxes and checked the wiring to be as sure as j can the wires are connected to correct ones. As i had mentioned, it worked perfect last year, and a few times this spring. Now i am confused. I did change my phone, but can t see that doing anything, is same brand. Unless it did something after i i connected it and cooked something, but i highly doubt that, as it reboots when not connected.

i was inquiring about the connections not for correctness, but to make sure there are no loose/bad connections. I did read some older posts of radios just restarting, some did have to do with the bluetooth phone paired to it. None of the other posts had resolutions to them. Hopefully the shop finds something when they change the wiring up a bit.
Only other thing I can think of is temperature related.. overheats in the dash, but not on the bench?

Did you get this fixed? I know there were some Bluetooth issues where when Bluetooth was connected some units would reboot. Had this happen with my Pixel 4. After some updates to the phone the reboot issue has not happened. There's also some weird stuff that happens with the xsvi when turning the ignition switch to off. A capacitor connected from the accessory wire to ground will provide some immunity to accessory power glitches from the xsvi. if that fails you can just connect the radios accessory wire to the spare accessory power wire that is in the passenger footwell near the BCM/fuse box. I think 02's have the spare wire. So you don't have to replace the xsvi.
