My Pioneer Fh-s500bt Is Flickering With No Sound When I Try To Listen To The Rad

Flickering display and no sound in radio mode and CD and everything else is working fine. I checked the fuses and antenna and all is good with that is there anything else I can do to fix the problem? The car stereo is almost a year old at least that's how long ago I bought it and had it installed

If your Pioneer FH-S500BT is flickering with no sound when you try to listen to the radio, there may be a problem with the wiring or the settings. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

Check the wiring: Make sure that all of the wiring is properly connected and secure. Check for any loose connections or damaged wires. Also, check the fuses to make sure they are not blown.

Reset the unit: Turn off the power to the unit and unplug it from the power source. Wait a few minutes, and then plug it back in and turn it on again. This may reset any settings that may be causing the flickering.

Check the settings: Make sure that the unit is set to the correct input for the radio, and that the volume is turned up. You may also want to check the balance and fade settings to make sure they are not causing the problem.

Update the firmware: Check to see if there are any firmware updates available for your Pioneer FH-S500BT. Updating the firmware may resolve any issues with the unit.

If the display is flickering and there is no sound in radio mode on your Pioneer FH-S500BT, and you have already checked the fuses and antenna, there may be a problem above
