So, it's been a year since I installed the AuxMod . . .
Earlier this week the lights in my head unit stopped turning off with the car. They'd stay on when the lights were off, keys removed, and car locked. Then, about two days later the lights just completely died in the head unit. The display still lights up, and the Disc In indicator light still works, but the back-lighting behind the buttons is gone.
I'm not sure if the bulbs burned out cus they were staying on indefinitely, if I burned a fuse, or, if as P-Funk! suggested,
Probably smoked a circuit card inside (not repairable).
Cruise the FS section for another stockie or just put a new aftermarket one in...
If he's right, I'm wondering if it was preventable, and, if it was caused by the AuxMod . . .
Just food for thought.
Whatever the reason, my head unit still works fine - it's just dark, so, I'll probably just leave it as is.
Buying a replacement costs money . . .
I've had the car for 8 years. I know where the buttons are by now. I'll live.
