I'm glad I found this thread. I was thinking of getting a raxiom but I think I won't now.

Yea unless it goes down to about 250 then maybe it's worth it but at 500 that's too much

Especially being there made in Taiwan

renee29581

Lmao...well American muscle contacting me from the email I sent raxiom, which is strange and gave me the number to contact their Tech support but when I called it the other night it didn't work. Smdh

m05fastbackGT

That's because AM provided you with a tech support number that doesn't even exist Alicia.. As for the e-mail you sent Raxiom, it more than likely went directly to AM's website which would explain why they contacted you and not Raxiom lol.

renee29581

Oh goodness...I'm going to try again but I know the night I called it just rangoes and some weird message came up...I was like uhhhhh no lol

m05fastbackGT

It's possible you may had just misdialed the number or AM could've gave you the wrong number.. So I'd try calling again, however if you end up getting the same strange message ? Chances are they provided you with a contact number that doesn't really exist..

renee29581

It was the same number they gave me the other night. It just rings ans says this mail box is full. The person you are trying to reach can't take messages. Wth smdh

This is what I'm thinking of going with when the time comes. I'll probably get a nice double din pioneer head unit also.

renee29581

Yea I saw that one...saw a few others on amazon as well. They were about 250 to 300... I would have ended up having to do this if the car didn't come with this headunit but luckily I would just have to be the dash kit bc I pulled the other headunit from my challenger. I'm trying to sell it now..

m05fastbackGT

Wouldn't be surprised if you always end up getting the same message Alicia

renee29581

So after emailing back and forth with rosen, I told them just give me yalls number. This emailing crap isn't going to work lol. The guy seemed to not understand what I was saying, so I called and they send me the instructions to update the software for the headunit itself...finally lol...so have to get another SD card and put the update on that then put it in thevery SD slot!!!

m05fastbackGT

At least they understood well enough to provide you with an actual phone number and followed up by sending you the instructions for updating the software..

Hopefully once you get the new SD card and download the software update, your head unit will be up and running once again

renee29581

Yea that's true. I'm just glad I got ahold of them finally lol..

m05fastbackGT

I'm glad you were finally able to get a hold of them too Alicia

renee29581

Well I did the update and the nav seems to be moving a lot quicker but one thing im hearing now is whenever I go to another channel, ex. Fro. Am/fm to sirus there is a pop sound from the speaker. Also when I have the volume on the nav. It was real bad when I first got the car and they replaced my speakers bc they thought it was that but it ended up being a wire that needed to be switched. I didn't hear it at all anymore once those wires were switched but it's back. I may just have to take the headunit apart and replug every thing back in. I'm going to call rosen back tomorrow to see if maybe they can send new wires. Lol at least it's a minimal popping sound.

m05fastbackGT

There also might be a short in one of the wires.. So as you said, start with taking the unit apart and then make sure there's no loose connections.. If that doesn't help, have Rosen send you new speaker wires..

renee29581

Yea true...I'm going to try and do it either tomorrow or this weekend. At least the unit is more responsive now...little to no lag now.
.

m05fastbackGT

Hopefully by the weekend, the popping noises will be gone too Alicia..

The important thing is your head unit is working much better and is more responsive

renee29581

Oh for sure...so i guess the unit isn't that bad...I'm making sure I save rosens number lol
