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 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. 😭
    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
