If there is anyone here who sells Kenwood gear and can ship stuff off for repairs, I could really use your help. I have a KVT-747DVD player in the car, and have spent 2 days trying to figure out if it is anything wrong with what I have done... So far no, every wire works, there is power to everything, all wires are how they should be... The screen comes up saying "Disconnected cable found. Please confirm a connection line." I'm assuming this means there is a break in the system somewhere, which is something I simply can not find in my wiring... The head-deck itself works fine, with all motor functions doing as they should, it is the hideaway box that worries me, I have no real way of testing if that is working, and have come to the conclusion that it is that box that is malfunctioning... With a slight chance of it being the large black cable that connects and communicates with the head-deck and hideaway unit... again, no real way to test...

I'm fairly certain I bought an extended warranty on this item, but there may be problems with that, being that it was bought from JB and they no longer sell car audio gear... and that I can not currently locate my receipts folder... and that I have moved twice... A search is underway, but how fruitful it will turn out to be is a mystery :(

I'm pretty certain that the hideaway box needs to be replaced or fixed, and I am willing to pay for whatever service costs it may have as if it were out of warranty...

So if anyone is in a position to help, let me know... til then, I will continue to look for the receipt and practice doing this :blink:

Thanks :D

not me - I sell blau. track down the JB that you bought it from as tey keep a database of what was sold.

as for the main black box - could well be a dry joint. the older stackers were notorious for this.

stick with the warranty side of things - saves you the grief.

That is my first plan, if I can find the receipt (which I'm sure I will) and it is still under warranty, then no doubt I will go through them... but incase I can't, or it takes too long, then I will go through other means...

Thanks anyway chris, I think I remember FHRX saying he had a deal with Kenwood... spose I will wait and see :thumbsup:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
