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:

    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.  
    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
