About to order my car audio stuff. Am I missing anything? I think I need to add an iPod cable.

You bought the wrong parking brake bypass, you need the one htat is $19.99. I got mine from ebay for the same price, but it got to my house in 3 days

I got the same one and it works fine for me.

Nice, I couldnt get it to work with a relay as the new unit requires like a 2 sec delay before you can apply the ground to kill it

I found the one that's compatible and bought it. $675 more towards this car! hopefully the gf doesn't get jealous as always. :D which iPod cable are you guys using?

you forgot the vehicle harness

There's no harness if he has the Bose (not sure what his trim is).

you sure? there should be a harness with RCA's for the bose? check with bigaudiofanat. :)

that's possible cause it appears there are differences in the delay time between the relays.

i know one of them did not work on my 4100DVD in my G, so i have a generic toggle sw wired up in the cubby.

Yes you need the harness; I had the bose setup and used the adapter

you also forgot the antenna adapter as well.

odd. i havent had any issues with mine working. :ugh2:

The Bose system does not use a traditional harness if you're changing out the head unit, as the speakers are dependent on external amplifiers. It does use an adapter to tap into the speakers if you plan on keeping them OEM.

I didn't mention the antenna adapter, as it's not considered part of the non-existent harness- it's an adapter, much like a PAC or AWSC.

Sorry if I wasn't being clear.

I knew I was forgetting some stuff. Thanks guys. Antenna, wiring harness, iPod/3.5/USB Jack. I have a base model stereo.

do you have like basic e-tape, taps, crimps, solder, etc?

oh yah, i also did this when i installed my 4500 last month.

kind of bringing this one back but i have an issue and wanted to see if anyone else is having the same issue of glare? I have 30% on all windows but when the sun hits this stereo its IMPOSSIBLE to see the screen even with a slight light. someone on here said to up the brightness and contrast but that doesnt do anything. Anyone else run into this issue? any fixes? im almost tempted to replace it for something different cause of this glaring issue.

hasn't bothered me. :confused: but then, i dont stare at it or watch dvd's on it so dont know.

i know my other car the 2500BT is up higher on the dash so i do get glare at times.

i notice all the time when i go to look at the reverse camera and cant see a thing. Also when trying to change the music :icon14:

huh, that's very odd. you might have a defective backlight maybe? can you tilt it by one increment and see if that helps?

I have it tilted x2 right now for better visibility. I might try to tilt it back to see if the glare goes away.

yah, and try full brightness i guess since you're already thinking about selling it. who cares about longitivity now. :D

on my car i have my 4500BT at zero tilt, and i can see just fine.

well I really hate to sell this thing as it was a PTA to install and i dont want to have to take everything apart again...again...again...again

it's not THAT big of a deal to install the HU, no? :D

Here is the glare from the direction that I'm sitting at.

What is this?

Where did you guys run your wires through the firewall to power your amp? Edit: nvm I found where to run the wires.

That looks like the AC control system busted open.

As far as the glare, I would suggest turning up the brightness and contrast quite a bit, as well as tilting the screen 3-4 "increments". Glare was unmanageable otherwise.

yeah i did all different angles :( nothing works for that glare

My hu isn't turning on. I think I have everything wired correctly. I've installed hu's before, but none using aswc axxess. I'm befuddled. How many wires on the axxess get hooked up, 3? Ground, power and remote and plug in the 3.5mm?

I only use three wires and the 3.5mm when I hooked up the axis. But then again I can't get mine to switch sources or tracks.

im using a pac so dont know. mine works perfectly though.

Make sure you have a good ground. The bolt in the middle of the cubby up near the triple gauge worked fine for me.

Antenna adapter blue wire
 

Hello new member here. I have been searching and haven't found a definite answer.

Is that blue wire from the antenna adapter ok to splice with the microbypass blue + blue/white wire from the radio harness ? if not where did you connect yours?

Thanks in advance.

Yes :tup:

Yup- the 350 and 370 have an antenna amplifier that needs power from that line. Splice away.

do you have a follow up pict comparo with your new kenwood? :)

It's MUCH better I'll have to get a pic tomorrow and post it up

yah, i still haven't encountered my 4500BT being that washed out. might be something to do with the top film that was used on your production lot or something, but sounds :tup: that you fixed your situation. :D

Here's the pic with the Kenwood

that's definitely in improvement but your screen is tilted now...

I edited the pic a little to show the Pioneer was tilted at the time too...
