ShawnPreece Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I have a Kenwood DDX4021BT Headunit (https://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-kenwood-ddx-4021bt_p-27461.htm#) This is a faulty unit When using this I found it would always start totally fine but then a few minutes into driving the music would stop and a message would appear on the screen saying it had been interrupted by the phone, even when no phone was connected. During the time it was working everything on it works as it should (or at least to the best of my knowledge). I have no idea about fixing these for whether it could be a easy fix or not but if anyone on here would be able to fix this then it could be a bargain. £30 collected or £35 delivered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Did you try updating all the phone and bluetooth firmware? My Kenwood would stop outputting to the amps and would have to be reset. It was all down to the firmwares needing updating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Its worth trying a USB firmware update before giving up on it: http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/mm/firmware/2012/2012a/pdf/12MM_DDX_FWupdate_en.pdf http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/mm/firmware/2012/2012a/eng.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnPreece Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Did you try updating all the phone and bluetooth firmware? My Kenwood would stop outputting to the amps and would have to be reset. It was all down to the firmwares needing updating. I haven't tried tbh there was a JVC headunit that I wanted so I just bought that instead and took this out and haven't done anything with it since, hopefully its an easy fix and the buyer has got a bargain Its worth trying a USB firmware update before giving up on it: http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/mm/firmware/2012/2012a/pdf/12MM_DDX_FWupdate_en.pdf http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/mm/firmware/2012/2012a/eng.html Thanks for the link mate hopefully might be useful for Jim. Iv not tried anything tbh its just been taking up space on my cupboard so wanted to get rid and hopefully is a easy fix. Everyone loves a potential bargain lol sorry Iky! haha Cheers Shawn. no worries mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
