Head unit trouble and speaker questions.

Alright, will do. Expect a PM around Friday =) Do you know how long shipping will take? And can I use PayPal?

[CadenceScion]

It would be easier to do a check or money order/western union, this way I can give the money to my friend and he can give me the goods. You wanted the White LED strips for the headlights correct?

[BrandonL]

Yessir. Would I send you the check or money order through the mail? I just thought PayPal would be easier and faster since it's automatic and done through the computer. But I'm cool with whatever you're most comfortable with.

[CadenceScion]

If I had enough cash on hand I would say do PayPal, but things have been really tight lately, so a check/money order/western union would be much easier right now. I will let my buddy know you want 1 package of the White LED strips for the headlights.

[BrandonL]

Okay. One package will be sufficient for both lights? And how to you connect them and conceal the wires?

A fellow Texas Boy. Howdy. I'm from G-Town just east of the Big D.

There is a wire in your Kenwood headunit harness (typically brown) that is connected to the parking brake light switch. It accepts a -12VDC ground input that gives the headunit's processor the indication that the parking brake (ground) is set to allow for safe viewing. Just run that wire to ground and you will never see that message again. Now, if Barney Fife is perusing through the local hangout or carshow, he might just ask you to demonstrate that this safety feature is in use. I put mine on a hidden micro switch in the cubby that will connect it to ground full-time yet will disconnect that ground source when needed. The wire is still connected thru the parking brake switch so I can still demonstrate that it works per the law.

Extra: If the same said Deputy walks around with a light meter inspecting for illegal tint on the driver/passenger front windows, there is an easy way to stave him off. Simply lower your windows all the way down then replace the window motor fuse with a blown one. When he asks for you to roll them up, you just tell him that you can't because they don't work. You will be telling the truth as it won't work with a blown fuse!

I don't want to go off topic on here. I will PM you the info. Im sure something is going on as there is somethign always going on every weekend.

[BrandonL]

Thanks man =) That's some awesome advice. And thank you so much for everything you post on this forum, I've learned so much from your various conversations. I'll give the wiring thing a shot and let you know how it goes. I understand that you attach the brown wire from the back of the head unit to the ground wire, but what do you connect the other end of the brown wire to? Just wrap it in electrical tape and leave it disconnected?
