Hey guys I have a 03 coupe, and the sound and A/C controls cut out randomly.
I hear this is a common problem, so if anyone knows anything about it please give me suggestions! I need to know if installing an aftermarket deck fixes the problem.
Any help is good
Cheers

 

Yes. Aftermarket decks fix that problem. I had a '03 with the exact same problem. Only mine was stuck on 90 degree heat full blast, and no way to turn it off. Was one of the reasons I sold the '03. Now i'm in an '05 and loving it.

There are a few options:
1)Aftermarket deck is probably the best bet, because you get the luxury of everything a new deck provides.

2)Sending your factory unit off for repair. There is a website (I can find it if you want), that will repair your unit's circuit board and correct the problem

3)Take it to the Stealership. When I had mine quoted from them back in the day for repair, it was around ~$1200 to fix. WAYYYY to much imho.
