Angry PCM 3.1 problem "Loading medium..." - stuck

Hi,

Anyone else had this issue? My PCM is stuck, no audio at all, I can select the tuner (but no sound), if I try to select any other source I get "Loading medium..." and it just sits there. I've tried pulling the fuses but still no joy, I can take it back to the dealer but it's out of warranty now...

Any negatives to disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to ensure everything resets?

Perhaps you can try to do a PCM reset and see if it fixes the problem.

Disconnecting the battery does no harm; cleared gremlins a couple of times for me.

Timo - if you have no audio at all then your amplifier is dead, this is what was wrong with mine. I bought a "nearly new" one from ebay and installed it myself. Here's the post:

Thank you for your fast Answer.
But the Amplifier is not the problem. If I connect my Iphone with the headunit normaly I can play music via Bluetooth. But now that's not possible...
And the headunit accept the discs but it don't play this.

I don't know what it is, but I think it is a Software problem.

Hi Timo,

I have exactly this problem. Was a dealer trip necessary to fix?

Thanks
