Finally installed my new 7500DVD and the in-dash unit's fan seems rather loud. Is this normal (I'm not to familiar with the these units) or do I have a bad HU? Will it get quieter with age as I just installed it?
It doesn't make any odd noises it's just that I can still hear it with the volume at low level.

yah its loud and pioneer units are known for overheating, i had two that did and my budy had two that did as well.

There's a simple answer to this problem....

Turn up the Volume and watch some really loud movie like F&F...LOL...Isnt volume the quick fix to all automotive noises?LOL

Thanks Yuli.

np, if your unit is installed over the heat vents on your dash try not to use them too much in the winter when the unit is playing, redirect the heat to the windows or your feet or something.

both my and my buddy have jeep grand cherokees and when we install the pioneer decks they go directly above the vents and with some heat going through the vents the units used to overheat after a few hours of play.

Mine is below the heat vents but I will keep an eye on it thanks.

Speaking of overheating, how hot does the hide-away processor get? I have it hidden away up front and the fan in it is open but I have a thin wrapping of bubble wrap over the unit itself so it doesn't accidentally get scratched.
You never know where these girl's stilletto heals will end up in the car right? ;)

yah i got my hideaway unit in the passanger kickpanel behind carpet and its also wrapped. i dont know how hot it gets, never touched it after installing it.

its the HU itself that over heats i believe, not the hideaway unit.

Excellent, thanks.

Hey Yuli & Hardwrkr,

You shouldn't have any problems no matter where you install the hideaway unit as the amplifier is in the head unit. I too have a Grand Cherokee ('94) & have had an in-dash monitor in there now for about two & a half years with no problems. Having said that, Vancouver is a more moderate climate so even though it's mounted right above the heating ducts, I don't have the heat on very often. Hardwrkr, I'm sure you'll enjot the AVH-P7500DVD as it's the coolest in-dash DVD monitor on the market right now!
Good luck!

i beg to differ on the 'coolest' factor. i like my alpine d-300 better, my 5th tv deck in last 2 years.
