I legit cried today I’m a DJ who has been driving around in a car with no music for months Everyone that looked at it gave me a different diagnosis and different costly solution I fixed it myself for free thanks to u I don’t know nothing about cars and have been SO overwhelmed with this whole thing You saved me

[@FourbrrlGrabber]

I’ve been in auto electrical diagnosis and repair for 30 years, you’re a sharp guy !! Ever since they removed the lead from solder, it’s been a problem ..!!! 🤷🏻

Thank you 🤝🏾

[@johngreene6783]

Dodge, Chrysler and Plymouth have always had electrical problems. It is not just the lack of lead in solder.

I just performed this procedure on our 2014 Jeep Patriot. I left the CD ribbon plug alone and just moved the CD aside. I used a hair dryer on the hottest setting while holding the black square down. I alternated the heat on then moved away-on move away several times without keeping constant heat on the part. The radio is working now. Thanks for your detailed video on the repair!

[@yaboycai9578]

Good job 🤝🏾

[@sgueymard]

That's why my Jeep Patriot radio is only working when the car is parked in the summer hot sun all day... Car Dealer says it has to be changed for a new radio... $400 + 15% taxes (Canadian) + their time. 😢 And it takes 2 weeks for the dealer to receive the radio.

Thank you soooo much for this! My radio/Bluetooth has been down for a year. I used a hair dryer, foil funnel, and a chopstick for 5 minutes. This has saved me hundreds especially since my 2014 Compass is paid off and no longer under warranty. You are a gentleman and scholar!

[@yaboycai9578]

Thank you, I’m glad this video could help.

[@jordanspinks1390]

What was the foil funnel used for?

[@cocokeyser]

I used it to direct the air from my hair dryer.

[@jaxx.8888]

I'm gonna try that! I got as far as down to the piece that needed to be heated up and I was like shoot...I don't have that tool 😂. What's weird is my connection randomly goes in and out. At first it was just the tuner (AM/FM) but then the volume wouldn't work at times and nothing worked. I was thinking Mayne it is the wires for the antenna connection. Gonna rip it apart and try again

[@HicktownHooligans]

​@jackieb8665 did it work???

[@christinacherny1185]

I just did this after work today. I used a hair blow dryer for the heat. I was a little nervous to do this myself. But his video was amazing and I was able to do it myself in about 30 minutes. I cannot thank him enough that I finally have a radio after not having one for months. Thank you so much

This fix totally worked for me and I just used a regular pain-stripper heat gun (only a few seconds each side) but it did the trick. Thanks so much Cai! Really appreciate this.

Your video was very insightful and was exactly what was wrong with the radio in a relative's 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan. Your guide was very simple to follow and the "re-flow" process did the job.

[@loualexander3408]

Just wanted to say "Thank you". I did not have the specialized device that you recommended. I improvised - I used a hair dryer set on hot and a wooden spoon to push on the chip. It worked great. Mine is a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT. I then got inspired and decide to "modernize" the van a little.' I bought a blue tooth receiver (like < $3 on ebay) that plugs into the AUX input and now I can play audio from my phone onto the radio. I also put a dashcam recorder (over the mirror) and a backup camera (all under $50). It all worked well. Thank you, again.

@@yaboycai9578 thank you! I recently ran an odb2 scan (blue driver software) and was surprised it showed that the antenna signal on the radio was weak (probably need to make sure it fits well) . It also detected abnormal current on the front low beam headlights. That is because I had them replaced with LEDs.

[@bronzegoddess3186]

Okay, I used my blow dryer at funnel from my kitchen for this. I started with 30 seconds, tested, still heard the popping noise… tried again… added 60 seconds each time and tested… didn’t work until I got up to 5 minutes on the blow dryer… so far it’s working!

Mis respetos para este man!! Lo hice con un encendedor de presion y funciono super excelente!!

[@KEKIN32]

El problema es que a los dias se vuelve a dañar y hay que desarmar de nuevo

Excellent video! The time/channel display on my radio/cd stopped working. i found this vid and the minute i saw you take the front face off and saw the connector i knew where the problem was. some contact cleaner and i was back in business. Thanks for this

[@yaboycai9578]

Thanks for the comment I’m glad your back on the road with a working radio

[@robertking4674]

I just did this to fix the radio in my 2016 Jeep Compass. It really did work!

[@gregg9782]

I know this is an old video, but, I drive a 2015 Jeep Patriot, and the head unit was causing a horrible popping sound through the speakers. I was looking for a video to explain this issue and I found this one. Your step by step instructions are absolutely amazing. I spent most of my time trying to remove the black plate from the unit, but once that finally came off, I was able to use my heat gun (on low 500+ degrees) and shot the chip for about 5 seconds, as to not melt anything around it. I replaced all the screws and plate re mounted my head unit back in place , and low and behold it works. Thank you my fellow Patriot driver! Saved me about $400 having to replace my stereo. Unfortunately it has other issues I can't fix, but hey if I need local radio I can hook my phone to the AUX jack and play it that way

I’m glad this video helped 🤝🏾

[@gregg9782]

@@yaboycai9578 You have no idea! Super embarrassing when you have window down trying to play music and it skips and pops every 5 seconds. I have owned a Dodge truck that had the same stereo and it busted the day I made my final payment. Apparently this is a well known issue with this Chrysler radio.

[@yaboycai9578]

@gregg9782 I remember those days lol

[@corywienandt1510]

You are awesome... I followed your directions and now my wife's radio works again... Definitely earned some brownie points tonight. Worked flawlessly on a 2016 patriot.

[@yaboycai9578]

I’m glad this video helped and you got some brownie points.

[@yaboycai9578]

Hey what’s up, checkout my latest video

[@shegrowsfungi]

thank you! This fixed my challenger, I thought mice ate a cord cuz i live in the country. Just glad I wasn't the only one dealing with it

[@generay6807]

My wife’s car is having this problem. Today we’re going on a 700 mile trip with no radio. Wish I would’ve seen this yesterday. Gonna have to try this when I get back. Great video. Thanks for making it.

[@yaboycai9578]

Thanks glad this video could help

[@sgarn1]

Was going to buy a new radio. Saved me money... Great video, Thanks

[@yaboycai9578]

I’m glad you tried this before buying a new radio.

[@WickaJunkie]

My man! Thanks for the video. Just fixed 2 stereos in 10 minutes using this fix. Worked like a damn charm!

[@yaboycai9578]

Thanks I’m glad this video helped.

[@cliffandsusanhoch7221]

Thank you so much. How many people took there vehicle back to the dealer only to be ripped off hundreds of dollars. You're a good person, be proud of yourself!!! Thanks again. Cliff

[@yaboycai9578]

Thanks a lot I’m glad this video could help

[@deborahgelston8658]

It worked!!!!!! I fixed it all by myself by watching your video!!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!

[@yaboycai9578]

No problem, I’m glad you were able to complete the process.

[@rpatrickmoore]

Thanks man for the video. Worked on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler radio. I ended up doing the tip listed in the comments of putting a piece of plastic from a writing pen on the plate and under the steel lip things. Just sawed off the right length. Again, thanks for the video.

[@jimtaber84]

My 2013 Dodge Caravan radio started this no volume thing, then volume works for a bit then nothing again. took out the radio when the volume wasn't working, followed your excellent video, reinstalled it and we have volume again. Hope your fix did the trick and lasts. Much appreciated, thanks for your time

[@yaboycai9578]

It should, thanks

[@philidell5419]

Thanks man. This fixed the wife's '17 Jeep Compass, and her '08 Ram radios. One was volume and tuner dial, one was stations not coming in.

[@yaboycai9578]

Glad this video helped

[@deetransparent]

I have a 2017 Jeep Compass & I followed all of your instructions to the “T” & it worked perfectly! I used a torch lighter to apply the heat since I didn’t have a heat gun & I still achieved success! Thanks for this video 💯

[@yaboycai9578]

Hey I’m glad this video helped you out. Good idea to use what you had, check out my latest videos if you haven’t already.

[@lane8376]

I added solder with a soldering iron. I thought I would have 🤬 it up but IT ACTUALLY FIXED IT. Thank you times a million. It’s great to have music again.

[@yaboycai9578]

Glad it worked out
