After a hard reset my deck turns my cockpit speakers OFF :) But only when streaming bluetooth audio, which is all I really do. It's like 5 layers into the menu and a PITA to set up each time. 15 amp fuse is what I have been reading people use on this wire, would that be correct? I'll be hooking it up directly to the battery. I can't recall now whether it's 14ga or 16ga wire.
