Hi everyone,

I'm so bummed I missed the empeg meet!

Anyhow, my GF and I both have empegs (2a) and have the sleds installed with OEM tuner modules. We have a problem when either of our players is plugged in to her car. Both players seem to work fine in my car.

Symptoms:

After a seemingly random period of time, from 10 seconds to 4 minutes after booting, the player starts doing things on its own:

1. Shuffle and unshuffle, some times very fast and continuously.
2. Mark and unmark tracks.
3. "Hate" tracks (I don't know if it does other tweak order commands).
4. Adjust volume (always UP!).

This is very similar behavior to genexia's IR receiver problem, but because it is happening with two players, and only in one sled, I am suspecting that the player is receiving commands from the Sony stalk interface. Neither tuner has a remote plugged in to the jack.

Is there some way (in Hijack, perhaps), to disable the tuner module to see if we can isolate the problem to the tuner module? In her installation, it is quite difficult to unplug the tuner from her sled and I'd like to avoid that kind of testing if it can be simulated in software.

Finally, if the tuner module is flakey, what would be the likely cause of this kind of behavior? Could it be fixed?

Thanks in advance, everyone.

Jim
