Hi.
When I first got my car, it came with the stock Alana (or whatever it was) HU. About two weeks later I had it replaced by my old HU (a Sony xplod mp-30). They didn't replace it when I first got my car because the guy who usually took care of that wasn't it (or some similair excuse).
The fact is.. after about two weeks they called me and told me to drop by to have it replaced.
I did so, and they installed my old HU, and it works fine. However, just as I got home and I took the key out of the ignition, the doors didn't unlock. I found it strange, but didn't pay much more attention to that.
The next day, the exact same thing happened, only this time I waited and few seconds, and the door did unlock.
From then to now, the timming seems totally random.. sometimes it takes 2 seconds, sometimes it takes 10 (this is the most common), sometimes it takes 30 or more. It always works, but with random timming. It started exactly after they exchanged the HU. Before that, the door *always* unlocked exactly after I pulled the key from the ignition.
So my question is - there's obviously some issue that was caused by the replacement of the HU. What could be causing it? Is there anything that I can do to fix this?
The manual does mention something about the replacement of the stock HU with an aftermarkey one, and the fact that it may cause some issues...
