Google was no help, then I found this place and hopefully you guys can give me some answers.

Right now my car stereo (A Dual XDMA690) won't stop attempting to eject a non existant CD when the ignition is turned off. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but right now its winter time and its -27 out and the last couple days I've had to get a boost to start my car (Even though it was plugged in and I have a battery blanket, and this is getting bad, the AMA guy knows me by name), and I'm starting to suspect that my stereo is the cause.

Any help would be appreciated.

My car is a 2003 Kia Rio, if that helps at all.

is the HU new or old
how does it perform with a CD in it
it probably is killing your battery
does it do this with the HU off or just the ignition off

the Decks new, got it in august, and its done this since Visions installed it, and it only does it when the Ignition is off, it also does it with the faceplate on or off, and even when I press the power button before turning the car off. When I turn the car on (If it starts at all), it flashes "Ejecting" on the LED display. As for performance for the CDs, I only used a cd once in it to try it out, the rest of the time I've been using it for my iPod (Don't get me started on how it won't charge my touch, but thats off topic), which works perfectly.

Hmmm . . . odd.
Are you able to store presets and keep them stored in the Head Unit?

I ask because most Head units Eject CDs when they lose the constant 12v power and have it connected again. So if you were to uninstall the deck, and reinstall it would spit out the CD.

Is there a possibility that the ACC and constant 12+ are backwards? So when the ignition is turned off, the deck loses the constant 12+, but has 12+ on the ACC line so it thinks its receiving power again and its caught in and endless cycle of stupid?

Its been doing this since August, when you had the unit installed?
Why not have it fixed then?
