Nah, almost all aftermarket radios come with 10A fuses. are u talking about the box with a fuse in it that comes attached to the harness on the D3, or your factory fuse box? If its your factory fuse box, slap a 10A in there, 2 amps is not nearly enough.

Who installed the deck for you? It is quite possible that they took power from an incorrect source. I would make sure that you have a source that can support that kind of amperage. Straight to the battery is ideal but a 10 amp source from the fusebox should be fine.

True, never change the correct value. 2A doesn't sound like the correct value on a head unit with built-in amplifier though. Or maybe we all don't understand what power line OP is talking about (which sounds likely).
A 10A fuse on the back of the deck is called out by the Pioneer installation manual -- see page 10. I believe there is also a fuse for the reverse camera, probably not 10A, no idea what it is or should be.

Of course...that is not in contention here. Jamming a higher rated fuse in a lower rated spot can be potentially dangerous. Before doing such a thing, I ask that the OP be sure of what he is doing before something catches on fire. Time to visit an installer me'thinks!
