Last week I had an Alpine CD player installed in my 04 Tahoe LT. Today, I go to start the tahoe and the CD player doesn't come on, and I am getting all kinds of messages on my message center. When I start it, it starts normal...then it resets and says "unknown driver"...then "service 4WD" ...Then "service brakes"...etc etc. I turned the car off and contacted the place that did the install, but they insist it has nothing to do with it (of course). it is the only thing that has changed.
So, I have checked the fuses and all are fine. Could it be the relay they installed? Could it be the wiring harness they had to use?
One more question for the audio guru's. When everything was working, I was a bit disappointed in sound. I have 2 Alpine type R 12s in a vented enclosure, each with an alpine 500 Watt amp on them. This is the same setup and enclosure that was in my pathfinder other than the CD player. In the pathfinder it sounded amazing! In the tahoe, some notes are clean....but it doesn't hit near as hard. It is probably half as loud as it was before. The gains are all the way up, and the sub control on the CD player is all the way up as well. I could never turn it up that much before. I understand that the accoustics of the car have changed (this system was also in my 300ZX, and sounded great too), but what else could be so different?
Thank you for any and all of your help!
