Custom faceplate location

[bansheelos]

Im trying to run the faceplate of my Alpine CDA-9851 about 4ft away from the head unit. Im using cat-5 to run the wire. When I soldered it up I wasnt gettin any light to the lcd or controls as far cd controls. the only control I had on the faceplate was volume. Wondering if this is impossible to do b/c of distance and voltage drop. Pls help //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

did you get all the correct pins? and is this a fold down insert cd player? if so you might have to push in a tab..

Im doing this cuz its gonna be sick when I am done. The faceplate is weird on these its like a motorized flip down detach face. Still not sure im I double checked the wiring when I was soldering and it was all on pt. Not sure whats my prob I put it away for 2 months but I want it done b4 the big car show!
