P-E-O error and replacing HU
so just this morning, first time ever, i get in the car and i get the infamous P-E-O error and it kicks out the cd...i called my acura serv. dept and the guy answering the call wasn't familiar with it...but the kicker is, i just replaced the damn hu a year ago cause of some other problems with it (and since i have a deductable) i'm gonna have to pay them 100 to replace it, even under warranty...
so my question is...
I read some threads about this error and heard something about having to replace the speakers if you replace the deck? what's up with this? am i just confused cause that sounds ridiculous? can someone school me? i've got a 97 3.0 with the bose system
cause otherwise, i'll just go buy some shit aftermarket deck for a couple hundred bucks and slap it in there instead of getting the plain factory one replaced for another 100
thx

thx for the offer...lemme see what the deck does tonight when i get off work since the problem just started this morning.
any clarification on whether i can swap in an aftermarket deck and still use all existing speakers,subs, etc?

I had no problem using an aftermarket head unit..much better sound and of course you can use the Subs...all aftermarket head units had a place to plug in rca's...you must be using some sort of convertor with the stock HU, to hook up the subs.

I got the same PEO error after we bought the car (new). The dealer took it and sent it to be fixed. This meant we drove around for a month w/o sound and then got it back and it only worked for a day. They gave me a new one and a year later that one went out so i just decided to go aftermarket since the warranty was up. It sounds so much better even with just stock speakers. I would def. go after market

I had the PEO error. Got my radio replaced in about 2 weeks under warranty. I dont think they changed the Speakers though. Regardless it works fine.
No one could figure out why the radio said PE-O. Recently I popped in a fresh CD-RW. Before I burned, the program displayed a msg stating CD-RW might not be good on Home Stereo's or Car Stereo's. I didnt ignored it. When I placed it into my Acura Bose low and behold the PE-O returned! I broke the CDRW and luckily it didnt affect my Bose.

Update, the cd player returned to functioning again...
I think im gonna ride it out until it dies for good and go aftermarket...this would be the third stock hu and i've been wanting to add a new look anyway...maybe i'll add video or something while i'm at it...
I've already got the rca connections (if needed) as i have an amp and subs already in the trunk, so i'm covered there as well
thanks again for the feedback guys...
