ques re: decks and winter cold
I know this may sound like a real dumb question but here it goes:
Considering how cold it gets in the winter here in Toronto, was wondering how that affects an aftermarket deck? I have been wanting to get one with full Ipod control but was wondering how they work when its really cold?? I wouldn't keep the Ipod in the car obviously. I remember back in 1997 I bought my first in-deck Sony cd player for my first car. When it was really cold the thing never worked and/or skipped. I have been out of the car audio loop since then. |
ive never had a problem.
|
do a search...we've covered this topic every winter. I've never had an issue in 25 years in Toronto with aftermarket equipment...and I drive a lot (50k+ a year).
|
They can handle the cold just fine. I live in P.E.I Canada and it can get up to -35 with the wind chill here.
|
my flip out alpine screen will often lag in the cold winter months, but what do you expect, its cold.
|
Where I live it is about -25 in the mornings right now and my Kenwood deck's screen is nearly unreadable there is so much lag.
|
the worst that should happen is what was said in the above posts, the screen may lag as the lcd is so cold the liquid crystals take a while to react the voltage to make them change.
|
I live in northern alberta, usually gets around -40. Never had a problem just warm your vehicle before you turn it on.
|
The built-in cooling fan on our lower end Monitor/HU drags for several minutes until it heats up, very very annoying....vrrrr....vrrrrr.....vrrrrrr...
:eyes: Maybe some machine oil would speed any dragging mechanics up?? |
