Lost Headunit Remote Control :(

[mikecart1 10+ year member]

How do I go about getting a replacement remote for my headunit? I have a Clarion MAX385VD and I lost the remote yesterday like an idiot! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I just installed it back in April of this year!

Buy a new Clarion headunit, and throw the rest away.

Is that the only way? This sucks! Could I get a cheap used Clarion system with a similar remote?

Man it happened yesterday. I don't know why this happened to me. Yesterday I went to:

-work

-exercise

-subway

-bowling league

-grocery store

5 Places! I can't believe it if it dropped out of my car. Unbelievable!!!

I don't know how to use it without the remote. It is a touch screen player. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

who the hell actually uses the remote when driving anyways?? you have to be truely lazy to just lift your arm to adjust w/e you are doing..

the only time i ever use my remote is if i'm taking a video of some sort and standing outside of my car. other than there i find no use for it..

I always use my remote //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif all the cool guys sit sideways twords the door with the seatback all the way back, and reaching over to control the headunit conflicts with this.

call em up, tell them the model number of the head unit and that you lost the remote

should be under 20 bucks

and was your remote one of those stupid little 2'' long remotes they started using?

I use it all the time. My friends all ask why. I just say because I like it. Also I keep my eyes on the road when I watch DVD movies. I have my hand on the remote with all the buttons memorized. I am a responsible driver unlike some people.

Are they the crappy Clarion default controllers they sell on crutchfield? I need the one that came with my stereo. It has like 30 buttons.

I don't want to smudge my screen.

I sit back pretty far and I rarely reach out to the headunit as it is unsafe when watching DVD's.

I'm going to call them now thanks! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

It was bigger than the Pioneer remote I had which was like 2" long. This one was like 3" long but still thin and should of been connected with a wire like a telephone is.
