I have it with an Alpine CDA-9831 head unit. I like it - I can leave the radio door closed and still have the controls I need at my fingertips. It's definitely not a necessity, and I could do without it, but I figured it would be nice to not have useless controls in my car when I could install the modifry thing for an extra few bucks.

 

I have one with my Kenwood KDC-MP4028. It uses the IR. It's great!

It adds additional features that the stock controls don't have, and it adds speed compensating volume.

What you want to do when you get a new headunit is get the adapter harness. That way you don't have to cut additional wires. Just splice the head-unit and DCI wiring into the adapter and plug it all in.

My other suggestion to you is go to http://www.modifry.com/products/dci/index.htm and click on the DCI there and read the FAQ and manual so you know how it works.

 

thanks guys! i was wondering if you could tell me how your set up compairs to the stock radio and speakers. and if you had to replace the cd changer in the back... i realize that more then likely i will have to but i was just wondering if someone found some way to use it... kinda sucks to just toss it.

 

the stock system sucks. bad. anything is an improvement.

I took out my changer...the fact my radio does MP3 on CD makes up for that, though. I have about the equivalent of 10 discs on one CD.

I don't know if there is any way to keep the changer, but it MIGHT be able to be used with an Alpine Ai-Net head unit...maybe.

 

i was told that if i replace the head unit the keyless entry system no longer works. is this true?

 

no

 

Not true. No relationship at all.

 

the reason my dad said that was because in my 1990 acura legend i replaced the HU and i lost the alarm with it so he just wanted me to ask others who had done it befor.

next question i want to use a jvc or kenwood unit in my car has anyone used those Dash Control Interface units on any jvc or kenwood unit. and if so is it hard to install and do you enjoy it?

 

I've got a Kenwood with mine. No complaints with the DCI interface. It works great

It's as simple to install as any car stereo once you have the harness.
