After installing this unit in my 2006 Avalon, people on the other end of the call occasionally comment on high feedback or reverb. Any cure for this?

I installed this in my 2007 Avalon (I think it is no different from 2006). I placed the mic holder on the windshield between the visor and the rearview mirror (where the windshield is shaded). The microphone can barely be seen in this position. There is no echo and people can hear me clearly. Where did you place your microphone?

Sounds like your mic is too close to the radio speaker. Not sure what else it could be. You're getting feedback for some reason.

Actually, on further testing, I have observed that Preset 6 *does* work for Slacker and Internet, but without a confirming beep (thought the beeps are present for AM and FM Preset 6, as well as all of the *other* Internet and Slacker presets). I think this almost has to be a firmware error and will contact Audiovox. Perhaps it has something to do with Preset 6 being part of the demo on/off routine.

I don't use mine anymore due to the feedback created when I connected two microphones to it. I suggest ensuring you can return it if not satisfied.

Sorry to hear that. I have a '98 Toyota Avalon w/factory stereo - the unit works flawlessly. Is there some problem with your lighter?

I have had this problem. It has locked up and been unresponsive (although it continued to play music) and it wouldn't turn off when I turned my car off. I also have an issue that I will start my car and no sound will come out of the unit. It will show song information, show the time counting for the song, but no sound. The graphic equalizer is also flat indicating that it isn't processing any sound. I have since replaced the deck and have already started to have issues with no sound. My dealer is trying to work with their Kenwood rep., but so far there has been no news of what the issue is. I have had this problem.

We have had no issues with the unit as of now. If there is background noise, it is very low. But I should qualify that we are using it to send our low end noise to sub-woofers mounted under our seats and it would take quite a bit of noise for us to detect it.Rick Blair

Yes, I have that head unit as well. Just remember to turn on the input after you plug it in. For a while I thought it was broken, but soon figured it out.

Hey david I have the same unit. What you have to do is go to audio and find the hz. Turn the volume up as loud as you normally listen to and one at a time go threw the Hz adjustments. If you would like I can go out to my car and check which settings i have but i also have an amp and subwoofers hooked up. It does not have the simple bass and treble adjustments like factory stereo. This way is more presice and does increment small adjustments to your specific speakers and vehicle. Let me know if it helped!

This seems to be a common issue with these units. Mine does it also. Wish I had an answer.

hi there - did you also apply the firmware upgrade? wondering if that helps the noise further. thanks- andrew

I had the same issue. I believe it is a function that is not included in the head unit. I just had to get used to it.

We have the same problem, despite having isolated which band was best for our location. It seems that doing the auto search function will sometimes solve this issue, which appears to have something to do with compression cutting out a weak signal. The only real solution I've found is to keep them on the stage very close to the performer, fresh high quality batteries, and check the frequencies often (right before show etc...)

Hard to say without hearing it, but I would guess, "yes" - something must be wrong with the speaker. I've never had fuzziness from the speaker. It's clear as a bell, unless I am cranking Hendrix ;-P

I first used the transmitter on an older vehicle and went in and out of static depending on my area. I got a newer vehicle and have a completely different experience. It probably has to do with the actual frequency your cars audio system is actually able to maintain. Unless you have a newer car, this would be my guess.

Sounds like it's too much squelch. Turn it up until you have a constant static, then back it off until there's nothing. That's what we did and we don't have that problem.

Yeah, i have the same buzzing noise. I took the car to a car-audio professional store and they told me that the sound is from the device, not from the car because sounds even with the engine off.It starts to annoy me a lot, if you know what could be the solution i will appreciatte.
