does it have a flip face / removable face? if so, your cable (from HU to face cradle) may be going bad. had thta happen to my kenwood, worked without the display for a few weeks, then stopped playing all together. it seems its a problem for that model (kenwood mp8017)

the wiring harness is up and connected. i'm using the butt connectors, i hope they hold. they are tricky. the HU's ground wire is supposed to be connected to the chassis, but the wiring harness has a wire for grounding it. shall i strip the alpine ground wire and connect it to the harness or...

i just received my CDA-9811 from etronics.com this (thu) morning, had ordered it on mon night. thanks to everyone who replied to my posts/ gave advice. looks great, arrived with a dent in the box but no damage to the unit itself. the styrofoam did its job i hope. has anyone installed this...

thanks guys, i'd rather prefer the alpine 9811 even if it has a motorized face. the only time you need to open it is to put in a cd. the faceplate can be taken off without flipping the face/ using the motor. i think the alpines look pretty good though. question, can the 9811 change led colour...

where can i find reviews of Eclipses, and where can i buy one online?

is it true that motorized faces have all sorts of problems and are not a recommended buy? i like the alpine cda-9811 but it has a motorized face and i dont want to be stuck with a broken unit after 1-2 yrs again. does anyone have any tips / suggestions? i checked out the cda-9813, and i...

Has anyone installed this particular unit tho? CDA-9811

ah-ha, so i dont have to thread through my firewall to the actual battery itself. I have a 2000 civic that i can buy a aftermarket harness for. i installed a kenwood before and all i had to do is pair up the wires of the harness. i've read some talk of a 12 guage wire running directly to the...

http://pub131.ezboard.com/fhighwaymp3frm2.showMessage?topicID=315.topic A lot of people seem to have had trouble with the cable connector for the kenwood mp8017, myself included. i found the above thread last night and want to repair my unit. i ordered those parts from the kenwoodparts...

bleh - the unit retails for $329. they have a special that includes install. same price on crutchfield also.

has anyone done a self install for this puppy? does it have a separate yellow power wire that needs to be attached directly to the battery terminal?

amen brother! hehehee.. thats why i want to get a 9811 and not spend more cash on the 9813's. btw, online - i'm getting the 9811 for $244 from etronics.com, from what i've heard its a reputable co. in addition, they are offereing a phillips extended warranty for 2 yrs for $40. i'm assuming...

so, what happens to the warranty on the alpine hu's when you buy them online - void, right? how often do these alpines fail? avg lifespan?
