Question
I have a 2006 envoy. I'm having some problems with the radio. Iv lost lights to the 1-2 3-4 buttons on the preset. On top of that i lose the radio all together for days then when it does decided to come back on only the front passenger speaker plays at a normal volume. The front drivers and both back speakers only mumble. Any ideas of what might be causing this????? please help

Answer
Hi Daniel,

All of the weird intermittent problems you're having lead me to believe the head unit itself is on its way out.  Your best at this point is simply to replace it.  Those decks can usually be had on eBay for not very much money, or consider it a chance to upgrade.

Expertise

I can answer questions about the electronics and mathematics behind car stereos, provide information on locating wires, wire interference, gauges, etc. Since they're almost entirely subjective, asking questions about brand names may not result in the most useful answers.

Experience

I've been installing car stereos for friends and family (albeit not professionally) for 8 or 9 years. My knowledge lies mostly in the math and technical aspects: impedance, required gauges, fuse levels, frequency response, etc.
