I had a Pioneer Deck installed in my 2002 Acura TL-S and since then when I start it, the car wont shift out of park without the manual override, the dash gear selector lights wont go on, the lighter accessory power outs don't work, and the radio wont turn on for about 15 minutes. Then all of a sudden it goes on and everything works. What the heck is going on? Im clueless on this, really need help. Radio installation place cant figure it out either.

They must've messed some wiring up for it to do something like that. Did they use a wiring harness adapter or did they cut and splice the wiring? I don't know if the two symptoms are related though.

The radio turning on randomly seems like it might be a bad ground. Check the wiring harness and make sure all the of the pins are fully inserted. I've had that happen to me before. You plug the harnesses together and the pins push each other out so that the wire almost falls out from behind the harness and they don't make proper contact. This causes odd things like speakers randomly going on and off, power on and off, etc.

Someone messed something up. Bring it back and have them fix it.

^Agrees!!! someone really messed up... if all the dash lights fried out, that's a serious issue. The radio place, should be writing you a check..
