Cd Player Issues - Aftermarket Not Oem

[robmos82]

Hello

Does anyone have any issues when idling and listening to music at a decent level? My Battery seems to be ok and the alternator does it's required job.

I have noticed the gauge can jump from 11 Volts when idle to 13 volts when driving.

I was thinking of fitting an Amp and Sub in the boot but I assume i'd get the same problem except more frequently as I'll be using more power.

Should I just get a new Battery and see if it continues????

Cheers lads

I believe it should be around 14.4V when running? It's normal for it to drop a bit when idling though - when was your last Battery change? Might be time for a new Battery, but could also be that the standard Battery is not powerful enough to power your additional audio equipment?

Has this problem existed since you installed it or has it just appeared?

Well I bought the car in August and swapped it over within a fortnight. It's occurred fairly often since then.

I have absolutely no idea when the Battery was changed last. I don't suppose you could suggest any decent makes for a reasonable price?

Funnily enough Lexus/Toyota is the best place to get a new Battery, just replaced mine for £60ish off the top of my head.
