Deck help please
so i bought a kenwood kdc-x794 deck and installed it, it has a usb port in the back of the deck and i plug my ipod into it and it charges the ipod as well as giving me control of the ipod through the head unit. i love it, probably the best most tuneable head unit i have ever owned...
my problem is this when i turn my headlights on (i have ddm hi/lo HIDs) it makes the ipod freeze up, i can unplug the ipod and imideately plug it back in and its fine, but i hate doing that... why would it do that? i would assume that the headlights are causing a heavy draw that trips out the deck for a second?
i want to fix it asap, cause its annoying.

well battery could be the problem, more likely jus cus the draw is too much for it briefly... or you might jus have to live with it.

Re: Deck help please
but see which will run a winch or lights when you need em to work. and duralast gold has an 8 year warantee, but the last like 5 years are pro rating, not full replacement cost...
