I ordered a kit from infotainment.com, that contained a bezel, HVAC, 7 speed fan resistor, 911 assist over-ride, and all the necessary cables. I then got a radio from a guy on kijiji in order to save me 1000 dollars on not buying their radio. I am having a lot of problems after installing these items into my truck, and need thoughts on what each of the problems could be.
1. Radio turns on, crashes, then reboots with factory settings, it does this even when the truck is off, so I had to unplug the battery in order to avoid draining it. It worked at one point only crashing periodically, but has since changed to be persistent. I have a video of this below.
2. The fan temperature when the radio is stuck at 72 Fahrenheit and refuses to change unless I press the max A/C button. I checked all the cables including the one that connects to the bezel to ensure that this wasn't just a cord not being properly plugged in.
3. The USB port in the jumper seat no longer works, which is a shame because I cannot use the apple car play, so therefore loose the navigation potential my radio has.
4. I am unsure of how I can change the units from F to C in the radio, as I live in Canada. Everything else in my truck is measured in Celsius, and I am unsure of how to change the radio to read in Celsius. I have seen people talk about it being in settings, but cannot personally find this option in the settings. (This one is less important to me.
I am unaware of what I should do to carry on. I could probably get at least some of my money back from the guy through Kijiji, and look for another radio. I also wonder if the climate control being stuck at 72 is because of a faulty bezel. If someone could give me their input on what I should do it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
