NINTENDO NOISE from radio

[Greekstyles]

my radio, was working fine (aftermarket poineer ghost face'd screen) anyways, it was working fine, i hooked up a sub and amp nothing crazy, worked fine, 3 days later im driving and it starts making these..almost nintendo sounding noises, like an airplane is dropping missiles..PEEUUUUURRRRSHHHHWWWWW...hahaha, sry 4 the immiture sounds, anyways, after about 10 minutes of it overbearing any sound out of the speakers and sounding like the speakers were going to blow up, i hit the dash(im greek, we hit things) and it blew the fuse to the ecometer tach and radio etc, i replaced it, and tried again and its still making the weird noise, i then took a power probe and just checked any of the wires for continuity, and i saw that the ACC wire(key-on) was purging every time the cartoonish misile sound came along the acc would purge losing signal then quickly regaining, but the radio stays on. has anyone ever ran into these weird ass almost madeup sounding story noises!?!????


i dont have time to figure it out and i dont even know where to start?. anyone have any suggestions?

Does the sound get louder when you step on the gas? If so check your ground connection from the amp. There is a good ground connection underneath the back seat on the driver's side. There should be a couple ground wires held on by a bolt, try connecting it there.

finally someone with an attempt haha..


to answer or at least check that 1 off, there isnt any alternator noise if thats what ur wondering. i went on a sound forum but still no answer. they said something about poineer radios having some small fuse in the unit, and if their improperly grounded the fuse goes and u need a tech to change it or some crazyness like that, they keep saying that poineers need to be grounded 2 different ways and to test if its the "infamous micro fuse" you have to try and ground out 1 of the RCA cables. i mean i guess some way it makes sence but i have yet to get an answer on which RCA, the reason being if i can remember is cause being poineers have this problem with grounding, if the radio doesnt get a good ground, then for some reason the RCAs try and ground out making that weird noise. it kind of makes sense but at the same time doesnt. anyone have on that?

Basically they are saying you have a bad ground and therefore the radio is grounding through the RCA's.

Recheck all the wiring and make sure nothing is messed up. Maybe try running new power/ground wires, but this shouldn't be needed if the stock is in good shape.

The E30's are old school, they are wired through common ground system. Meaning you only have left speakers in Right speakers. Instead of Front Left, Front Right, Back Left, Back Right. This common ground hates all the new after market head units. What may fix the problem is rewiring all 4 speakers so that you are not using the common ground anymore. IDK if thats the problem i just know it will make your stereo sound a lot better and help keep your after market head unit from over heating. Sry if thats not why its making the noise, just makin a suggestion.

yea i was planning on doing that cause of that stupid fader, ihad the same thing in my e21 and it drove me crazy!! haha, but im gna try and rewire the radio so something else and see if the problem goes away, maybe its just a messed up harness who knows.
