Radio / CD Problem

[Horsepower]

Hi,

When i bought my ML it came with a sony radio/cd, all the factory fitted stuff has been removed, so i thought, but I've got a couple of problems that i don't know how to resolve.

Firstly I can't listen to it above volume setting 4, (in my partners car with a similar radio it'd be on about 12). This leads me to assume there is some sort of amplifier somewhere.

Secondly if i have the volume set to 1 or 2 i can hear a hissing sound like a badly tuned radio, but it happens also when i listen to a cd (both copied and original). Again this leads me to believe that there is some sord of amp which is causing this feedback.

I did the VIN check on the link you provide and it says

radio audio ML 10 with bose sound system and 7 loudspeakers
CD changer - alpine - in trunk

I've non of these (apart from the speakers!).

The radio i have in is a sony cdx-s2250s.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Is there an amp hiding somewhere? If there is, is there anyway I can get round this or should I just take it to the local car radio place for them to look at it?


Any help will be appreciated!

This is a ML layout,, its hard to say if the amp is there also it might be a fault in the Sony causing the white noise,, only by bench testing can you find out

Some of the bose systems werent hard wired and used fibre optics instead which meant that the sound systems couldnt be changed without a lot of rewiring, its worth getting a radio speccy to look at it ....
