My remote quit working for my Pioneer DEH-6600, so I bought a new battery and it still didnt work. I thought the remote was toast so I bought a new remote, worked great for like two weeks then it just quit. Changed the battery in it and nothing!!!!! I even reset the head unit, I am stumped

 

where are you leaviung the remote...

 

In the console.

 

I kept mine in the console and it stopped working too... I assume that the battery is just dying from being hit on stuff all the time... dunno maybe you are putting in the wrong battery?

I'll replace mine to see what's up

 

A Pioneer remote will use a CR2025 cell. Thiat what you replaced it with?

 

Also, you did not leave it in the sun... or get it wet, right?

 

hey napalmdemos, I think it would be hilarious if you made your avatar have another half of a guage--a tachometer... that would be hilarious... one goes up, the other goes down

 

Yeah a 3v CR2025 is what I used, I tested the battery and its fine.

The remote never got wet and I allways put it in the console so I wont lose it. I'm ready to get a new head unit, this one is driving me crazy.

 

I JUST USED A PIECE of velcro tape to stick it to teh console right next to the hatch release ... ive had the HeadUnit since november and it hasnt had any problems...
what else is in the console with your remote.. maybe something bashed it good and broke the remotes inside?

 

I wanna velcro mine between the window controls... it would fit great, and be right where I can use it... as its the only way to pause the dang thing... easily

 

yea its around that area.. if you wanna still use it while velcroed on you should place it first and press the buttons to see if it still operates at that angle, i didnt really think of that but got lucky anyways

 

I wish stereo makers would just make a damn radio remote for these things... I wanna control it from outside the car... is that so much to ask?

 

lol you notcied that the remote is finicky too? it likes to be pointed at weird angles @ the HU huh

 

yeah its weird
