Default Harmon Kardon Problem HELP
This weekend my 08 SG Harmon Kardon seems like it went into "protect" mode or something. It only goes to about 2/3 volume, I try and turn it up loader and it stays at that lower volume????

Is there a way to factory reset?

Did it get hot or somthing?

Any help would be great.


Thanks

reaper if you need a refurb try to get your dealer to send yours back. 275$ is the cost of a refurb radio. might try pulling battery cable to reset

I have the main fuse pulled as we speak trying to reset it. If I spend any money on this it will be getting a new head unit and amp, not another crappy HK...
