Random Bass Increase On Stock Headunit

Ok so I have an 05 colorado with the stock radio that is stamped with MP3 and displays the song name from the radio and such. And it seems like now everytime a new song comes on, I change the station, or touch the volume knob the bass setting cranks way the hell up and then the door panels vibrate. Its a real pain. When I first got the truck it did it once a month maybe and the dealer couldnt replicate it when the truck was under warranty. But now its totally unbearable. I can solder, I have HP Tuners (though support for this truck is real limited and I have no BCM connectivity with it), I know my way around other computer tricks how the hell do I fix this, preferably without replacing the headunit.

Wow that is weird. Cant image it being anything other then the head unit though. Probably get a used one cheap some where if you are ok with OEM.

 

Sorry I cant help more...

Its weird. I even tried using one of the presets for bass, treble and mid and it still switched to custom mode and jacked the bass way up.

Just to update. I found out that it was the auto-volume that was turning the base up. I turned the auto-volume off and so far no random base.

      Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
