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:

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to come I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
