    Doesn't sound good. Sorry I cant help. IMO, it sounds like an internal malfunction in the unit.

    I'd say bad clarion. If you have power at both acc and constant then it is definitely radio problem.

    My clarion Double DIN unit has had similar problems, the wiring harness on the Clarion Units have changed from the old kind they had. They have that box that has the light in it now with resistors and crap. Mine would shut off while driving down the road and if i pulled over and cycled the key, it would come back on. I am buying a 2010 DD unit today and the wiring harness is back like the old ones, the little rectangular black box on the yellow lead. Not sure what was up with mine, but it also affected battery voltage in 2 different vehicles now. I also have amps and subs on mine. It is goin in the trash.

    if you can at least make it fold straight then you can get the trim off. If it is already broke then what have you to lose? This is why I am an Eclipse(R.I.P.) or Kenwood fan. never had problems with those two brands. I had problem after problem with the two clarions I owned.
