my player turns on and everything but no sound comes out. When i hit a bump i get sound for a while. Could this be a loose wire or something? :dunno

yes or a cold solder joint or a wire thats shorting and when u hit a bump it jumps off whatever its touching....could be a few things....

when chips/wires are connected to a circuit board its done so using solder. sometimes its not done properly and as suchu have an intermittent connection...an effective way to find a cold solder joint is to get some freon(or some other such product) and spray on the circuit board at different points till u dont hear sound(or u DO hear sound)...tedious if thats the problem and if u have a stock head its probably not worth it....what year car do u have, i MIGHT have a BMW tape deck that will work...

Pull the deck out and check the harness to make sure its connected properly and tightly. My guess is a loose or disconnected wire (probably the blue remote turn on wire) that is making temporary contact where it should make permanent contact when you hit bumps.
