I have static on all options from radio to cd to bluetooth.
i read it is prolly the amp that needs replaced. my question is which amp is it and where can i find one to buy?

 

I have the same problem. Someone mentioned that there may be a bad ground somewhere. I'm wondering if it's the amp or possibly a ground.

 

i believe it said if it was just one of the options with static it could be a ground but if its all options it mite be the amp. Its pretty annoying and id like to fix it soon

 

The amp is in the passenger side kickpanel.

You could try a junkyard or ebay. They are really high new from Acura.

They are a bolt on replacement.

 

ok thanks yea i found some used on ebay for 140 but i dont wana pay that if its goin to have the same problem so lost on what to do

 

You could buy it or check out local junk yards to see if they have any 3rd G TLs.. usually the amp does not die in a crash And, sorry I recommended a ground loop control elsewhere because of the setup..

If you are using stock amp I would find it hard to believe the stock amp is not grounded properly (since you never touched it and would be hard to 'unground' the wire that is attached to the amp harness from the head unit)

Either head unit can be causing a problem here

OR

the amp.

Both sides of the coins will be expensive; head unit being a tab bit more but I've seen head units on ebay that you can replace if that is the culprit for $150-$200. Just be sure the code is provided

 

If you end up needing a new radio, there is a code on your tape deck face plate. It should say 1TB0, or something like that. You can search for that code. Some of them are relatively cheap. If you happen to have a 1TB0 radio, then be prepared to pay twice as much when you finally find one.

I would try the amp first. BTW - the amp is bolted to the frame and then takes a ground from the wiring harness. There is little chance that it is not grounded well enough.

 

yea i have the stock amp nothing has been touched with my system, and where exactly is the amp and ground wire located and how difficult is it to get to that wire?

 

?

 

The ground wire is in the wiring harness, but it is also bolted to the frame. There is about a .000001% chance that an external ground is your problem.
