Hello everyone. Maybe one of you can point me in the right direction. I have base model non-sss evox (no upgraded sound system), but the car did come with the built in blue-tooth. The volume on radio stations and mp3 player using axillary port works perfect, but when I put in a CD and turn up the volume to 45, sound is only coming out like I would have the knob on 5. The radio was denied warranty for my "mods". I going to save the hassle of trying to argue it. I was wondering if ne1 can recommend a decent aftermarket radio that I can just stick into my car and everything will work ok? A usb slot is preferred . I have a 2010, so it didn't come with one. I'm just worried that the blue-tooth hardware that came with the car needs to be "re-programmed" to talk to the new radio system to allow syncing functionality or something. Please let me know

 

From what i've gathered about evo warranties, they have to be able to prove that the mod caused the damage in order to deny you warranty work. You should really go fight it IMO.

 

Well the thing is I have a few goodies wired into the electrical system. LED interior, jRox harness, radar detector, nonsss to bixenon projectors retrofit. All of these are someway tapped/spliced into the electrical system. Asap they removed the cigarette lighter compartment they called me over and said it was being denied. Also stock radio blows. I was thinking about just doing a new sound system in the future. Gotta start somewhere. Thank you for your input though.

 

Find yourself a head unit with built-in Blutooth, so you can be assured that it will all work together. You can disconnect the factory module (it is above the glove compartment, below the airbag). You'll also want to get a steering wheel interface that will tie together the radio buttons and the handsfree controls. I had excellent luck with my Pioneer deck and the PAC SWI-PS, and retained all of my steering wheel control functions.

You might want to head down a few groups to the Evo X A/V forum- there's plenty of good reading there. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-security-262/
