Default Dsi-2 Issues

So for whatever reason my Dsi-2 loves to blast full volume when the bike starts. I always turn the volume to 0 before shutting the bike down. It doesn't do it when I turn the ignition to on or acc just when I start, radio boots up and blasts full volume. I have to change to fm, am or WB to have it stop playing music (off Bluetooth on my phone). I have the remote wire running off the throttle side.

As of today the dsi-2 now just randomly cuts out and turns back on and plays, I thought it was a loose wire stripped bike down to troubleshoot and jiggled everything and inspected all the wires. Nothing. Put it together and still intermittent cutting it audio. The reason why I know it's the dsi-2 is because I have 2 amps running to it and all 4 speakers stop playing.

I've emailed DD, any insight or advice on how to troubleshoot some more things?

I don’t understand how your dsp is changing hu volume? Are you sending music directly to dsp via Bluetooth?

What year bike and hu?

I'm sending music off my phone via Bluetooth, I don't understand either. It's a stock HU 19 RGS

Are you sending Bluetooth signal to the dsp or hu?

Head unit. I don't think the dsp accepts audio via Bluetooth. I'll check manual.

Checked manual. It accepts direct music but I only play through the radio.

Anything else done on the bike? Bars/apes? line leveler? Where are you getting your signal to turn on the DSI?

How long has this been installed? When did it start doing these things?

So when you start the bike the hu is turned up to max volume? That sounds like a hu software problem. I’m not aware of any way that the dsp can control the hu.

No line levelers. Bars are aftermarket. No wires are damaged. Remote wire is installed from throttle side accessory wire. Issue just started yesterday for the audio cutting out. Been installed for 3 Months. The only issue in that time is the audio being full volume on start up but I believe that's related to the Bluetooth connection. More of an issue is the resetting of the device.

Has the HU gotten wet lately? I had a sony 5000 get wet and it went to max volume when I turned on the bike after that. I don't think its the dsp.
