my 01 has a kenwood head unit and the dash controls work with it sometimes i found this little wire hanging out of under the head unit and it is what is getting the signal from the dash controls cuz if i move it the controls dont work.

is this little wire OEM or aftermarket and if its oem where is it soposed to go it looks like crap just hanging out

 

take it to a audio place and it can be fixed in less then a hour....
but using the audio controls on the dash i think is a waste.. i had it set up on my alpine and NEVER USED IT..... my hand was 95% on the shifter or ebrake so my hand was right there.. if you cant do that your lazy!

 

Its modifrys dash control unit, it has to be there, its a infrared transmiter replicating your kenwood remote.

 

so the previous owner had it installed

he also left all the wireing for an amp nicely hiden all the way to the trunk. but there is also a phone line cable runing from the trunk to the drivers dash i dont know what for

he must have taken the phones with him when he sold the car. standard JDM issue..its for placing calls to your JDM midget that also comes with it. Sucks he must have taken that too.

 

that comment was to complicated for it to be funny.

well i know he used a IR DCI but the reception sucks right now the only way it works is with the door up is the DCI going to crap or do they just not work that well

 

complicated? lol you must not be too intelligent...jk.


a friends IR never bugs him..its ugly but always works. upgrade your HU and DCI to the wired version.

 

move the IR to the top of the radio and it will work better, the phone line is for a sub control that was connected to the amp.

 

i was thinking about that since all the write ups say to put it on top but when i move the ir there it doesnt help but ill try that.

 

ya it didnt work it works best under the radio through the folding door, do you think a new emitter from radio shack would help

 

that phone wire is for a bass remote that connected to the previous amp that was in there

 

sometimes when there is a lot of ambient light, the IR emitter can get washed out and not work.

 

i just picked up a new emitter and it came with a IR phototransister what would you use that for. but im gunna install the new emitter tommarow hopefully it helps
