1. when i change the info page to seek tool i am not able to use the control knob to move to a precise portion of the song. i thought this was possible but now i cant do it

2. The display screen sometimes goes batty and changes from full brightness to dimmer and back again...it is not the due to the settings as if i take the RioCar out of the sled and reinstall it sometimes the movement is enough to correct the problem..


any suggestions?

thanks,

Ed

Try pressing the knob in. If you have Hijack installed, I think you will get a pop-up asking what you want to do. Just select SeekTool.

ahhhh....i dont have Hijack but i dont remember having to press in the knob...but to be honest...the know is getting a bit funky and is most likely in need of replacement...maybe that is the real culprit

The seek tool changed between two software versions in regard to what you had to do to seek through the song with the knob. Did you upgrade since the last time you tried?

You might have a loose wire in your installation, perhaps like this, or your player might need the capacitor fix.

If the problem is due to wiring loom troubles, they are inside your dashboard and Stu isn't going to be much help. Unless you're crating up the Miata...

Try pressing the knob in. If you have Hijack installed, I think you will get a pop-up asking what you want to do. Just select SeekTool.



i did exactly that...pressed in the knob and it works fine..but now i dont know why i would want to use this function!!!

I find it's useful for quickly skipping through commercials on recorded radio shows.
