    The amplitude don't change at all from volume 1 to high defenitly looks like a Bad Radio bus communication seems to be working especially with door locks and key reminders hmm @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC

    What if you tried a CD?

    On my Dodge Journey the bluetooth module is up under the brake pedal under the wheel. Most ridiculous place to put anything except the ignorant stupid engineers put the battery up in the left front fender. You have to remove the tire and the inner fender every time something happens to the battery. The battery lasted from last October till now, November 30th a little over a year which is pretty shabby. It went bad. Poor quality. The battery also has a 180 $ module that you better hope stays working on the negative lead. Checked the voltage while running and 14.53v so the nator works.

    A family member bought a 2020 Acadia and YES this happens to her, Android Auto doesn't work….it's terrible. Volume has a mind of its own. Meanwhile I drive a 10yr old Lexus with 2X the features and reliability. GMC should dissolve. They don't even try to give value.

    when you working on radios your in a field of electronics which require different learing

    Im dealing with a 2015 GMC Yukon …no sound from speakers and all functions work on radio….our snap on versus is a joke as well

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Man Productions says:

    Well a amplifier just boost the radio volume by whatever amplification it says it is (let's say 200watts) the radio volume comes out the radio at let's say 25 watts,goes to the amp and the amp then can boost it to 200 watts, but doesn't have any thing to do with volume switch in the radio. But with the new systems they seem to be more of a brain then a amp now a days ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    Anybody know the tittle for the vehicle south main and pine hollow team up to diagnose that vehicle

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Samuel Wellman says:

    Hey bro, where can I get a schematic like that, for free? I got major problems as water was trapped in the all the wire harnesses and many of the contacts have rusted out and broken off. Major hassle and the worst design ever to place a junction box between the door. Why not just submerge it in the washer fluid. Help.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Master Debater says:

    No way I would dump 200 into a factory stereo!

    Radik sounds likeaCB radio lol

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars GNX157 says:

    We used to just send OEM radios out to Suburban Radio in Audubon and they'd fix them in their shop if it was possible.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars donnie jackson says:

    not happy with the verus eh?

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doug says:

    Definitely a GM thing. Both my father and I have a 2013 Camaro 1LS, and both have a radio/ HVAC unit that dies or freezes randomly. Super annoying. When that happens, no chimes, no signal clicker, no nothing. The dealer just wants to "run a diagnostic" and then throw parts at it.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nodak81 says:

    Had the same radio in my Impala (at least it looked the same anyway) and it was a total piece of junk too.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jack Jacke says:

    just push the fix it button Eric. the fix it button!

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Duncan Mac says:

    You mentioning full blast radio reminded me back when I was a kid it was a prank I'd play on the kid with the car, turn on everything full, wipers, heater fan, radio, so at the turn of the key it was chaos. Stupid teenager tricks. As always, thanks for another great video.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Norman Gallant says:

    Good find

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ken Sherwood says:

    That Verus reminds me of my Samsung S6 phone, had a mind of its own wouldn't switch on then freeze then just switch off when it fancied, no joy with Samsung so ditched it for another brand, it'll be a dark day before I buy another Samsung product…….

    these cars are starting be this mechanics worst car ever to work on with as low as the front bumper is have to maneuver around just in the right spot when underneath it

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Nasto says:

    Looks like a bad rheostat on the volume control of the radio. Maybe someone may have turned the volume knob too much in either direction.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ChevyPhil says:

    united radio is awesome as youprobally know they do spedos too i beleve it was a different building we had to send them to they use to make us send the radio and amp though i remember it was a ponitac with the masoon system we sent the radio and they called asking for the amp

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jmoney89 says:

    I have an 08 Acadia an my radio all I hear is static sometimes the radio will work. I can have the car off an just open the door an there's nothing but like hi bass noise with static. I didn't no if u had any ideas on what i could do or think of what it might be thanks

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lyn Fuller says:

    My radio says xm only fm will not work any suggestions?

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars rsx123 says:

    Ive know a decent amount about computers You almost definitely have a bunch of dust clogging the Verus cpu cooler fan. Just open it up and blow out the dust and youre good to go.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Purveyorofthe obvious says:

    You spent 10k on that thing and it runs Windows XP???? Dude, you got shafted!

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars catlover 2345 says:

    man you are a life saver been having the exact same trouble but then fixes it's self and then does it again quite frustrating this video helped

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Martin Villegas says:

    I have the same problem but the chime works and when I use the blinkers there is a loud sound that come out of the speakers do you think I need to change my radio?

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RC Hobbyist Extreme says:

    there isnt much you can do with those radio's. If someone cut any ground wires going into the radio or any of the door opening sensors are damaged,they ding through the speakers,Its a really stupid design . If you dump a new radio and it still does it,you just wasted the customers money. If you could use a known radio,then you would be ok. Getting those radios repaired must be costly.

    So many vids, so little phone data. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜’

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Coody says:

    i have the same problem except my radio is on but no sound comes out of the speakers. the day prior my speakers were making a popping noise and the radio would fade in and out. Sir, you are an awesome genius…you and United Audio. thanks for this video.

    Possible Geico Partnership?..lol

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tonja K says:

    OK time for TLC to contact you for a Saturday Car repair show. I would watch it.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Marino says:

    Theses cars have Electronic problems. I had a car that would not turn off when the key was in the off position and removed . Warning lights were all on. Service engine, oil change etc etc

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hayward's Automotive says:

    I see you have the Verus Pro on your newer videos now. Mine ran flawless but now I've upgraded to the Verus Edge which screams. It boots in @50 seconds and you can snooze it & it'll restart in 5 seconds, Windows 7 Embedded with an SSD. Wow we used United Radio Repair in Syracuse back in 1975 when I started working at Howell & Pierson Dodge in Johnstown, NY. Glad to hear they are still in business & they fixed all our warranty radios and never had a problem after they fixed them.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars StopDropandLOL says:

    United Radio! I use them all the time working at Ford, they supply us with warranty radios and instrument clusters. Obviously a little closer to you, hehe.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars D H says:

    Gasp! How dare you take gms name in vain! ๐Ÿ˜ก blasphemy

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mutt Head says:

    "for poop and laughter" lol

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joe Tiller says:

    Eric looks like you will tackle anything I got bose on my can don't use it unless grand kids are in it I have to hear the noise they want it's not music.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ItsAlwaysRusty says:

    For such a supposedly quality item the Verus still runs on Windows XP? For all the money you have spent why doesn't Snap On at least upgrade it to something a bit more sophisticated and modern? Seems as though Snap On could use some help with their computer options.. Take Care..

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars geoffrwelsh says:

    Snap-On should give you a new Verus Edge so you could say, "this is great" all day long, instead of the opposite, that's going on right now. They're missing a superb marketing opportunity.

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gary Johnson says:

    09 and the radio dies, unbelievable, and it is a Boise
