hey guys and gals..my mach 460 recently stopped working and the only thing it does is say "BAD" on the display, then a few weeks after doing that it stopped saying anything or coming on at all. Is this the head unit? Is there any self fix? I already have another system to go in it but don't have the time to install everything right now.

I'd say just replace it with a nice aftermarket head unit. You will have to buy a converter for it though (about $40) Scosche makes one, you can find all the stuff at Crutchfield.

The factory mach 460 sounds pretty good for a stock system. I'd rather not spend hundreds of dollars replacing it if I don't have to. Especially if there's an easy fix.

Anyone else?

Click to expand...

1) Send it in for repairs - lots of places do it. It will cost you $.

2) Buy a used factory replacement - search on EBay - it will cost you $.

3) Buy a new factory replacement from your dealer. It will cost you $$$.

3) Buy an aftermarket headunit - it will cost you $$.

I'd look on Ebay myself.

Fixed the problem.

I found a thread on Corral about the same thing. The guy said to disconnect the power and it resets itself. I disconnected the battery for a couple of minutes, reconnected it and checked the radio. It worked!!
Kind of like rebooting a computer. Weird.
