    I do have the 8.4, non Alpine Premium system. If these new radios are like the old MyGigs, then the function of EQ, Fade, and Balance is part of the HU and not the CanBus. The MyGigs had an internal 66w amp, 16.5 watts/channel. In my Nitro, I had an RBZ MyGig. I installed 2 amps: A 4 channel amp for the radio and a single channel bridgeable amp for the Sub: all Kicker products. I had previously installed the Kicker/Mopar upgrade speakers. The installer at Best Buy used the speaker level inputs for the amps. He cut the speakers wires after the connector. He ran the speaker level wire bundle to the amp for input. Than ran the outputs back up to the cut speaker wires. My Kicker 8" sub was a dual coil, so he used the front speaker level inputs to drive the 1/2 bridgeable amp for the Sub. Both Amps required Monster Cables directly connected to the battery.
    In my DJ, the underseat sub uses the speaker level inputs from the front speakers. After this connection, he cut all the speakers wires. He then used the 4 channel speaker level inputs to the Alpine Brick Amp, and the amp outputs back to the cut speaker wires. Using speaker level inputs tells me that the EQ, Balance and Fade are still part of the HU, and not the CanBus. I'm guessing here, though.

    Read my threads. I do not believe that I am talking out of my arss. And, I'll bet that my system sounds better than the crap factory Alpine system.

    If you did not plug in the sensor properly, the car will have no idea at what rate each wheel is turning. Hence, no AWD, ABS, TC and I'll bet that your Cruise will not work either.

    dhh3 got a reaction from Kahnefanjoey in Rear camera and lock pick c8   
    The Lockpick that I had on my Nitro had 4 camera inputs, and the back up image showed on the Mygig screen. There is a harness with the Lockpick that plugs into the back of the radio where the gray harness plugs in; then you plug the gray harness into the the Lockpick's harness. The cost of the OEM camera is probably equal to the Lockpick; but, you still need a camera. Coastal used to make their own cameras, but the quit making them.

    My Nitro had an easy fix to all of this. The fuse for the Power Port was a two position fuse. Installed in one position, it was hot all the time. The other position, it was hot only with the key. When they come up with neat ideas like this, why can't they keep them?

    Disconnect the negative terminal for at least /2 hour for radio issues. This should reset the radio. There is a small battery, so you shouldn't lose any of your presets.

    It appears that there are two threads active on adding auto headlights. I have added both the sensor and light switch (posted on the newer thread started by ultranutz), so Journeyman425, please do not forget about me if the sales code ever pops up again. I ask this incase you are not monitoring both threads. Thank you for all of your effort on this forum. Members like you make this all worthwhile.

    Since you have already replace the lock actuator, I'd check the wiring that goes trough the boot, between the body and the door.

    Unplug the sensor, and make sure you did not bend a pin. They are touchy. Then disconnect the negative terminal of your battery for about 30 minutes to reset your system. See what happens.

    dhh3 got a reaction from Mark R. Monaco in Rear Fog Lights   
    I installed mine a while ago, and forgot about this thread! And, I started it! Anyway, as I posted in post #18, I could not find universal sockets. Initially, I was going to tie mine into the rear powerport, but then they would be on all the time. When I figured out the wiring on the left outboard tail light,I was hoping to find dual sockets so I could tie them in with the brake/taillights since the turn signals are amber. But, again, no luck finding sockets. So, I went with the Mopar harness, which included single filament sockets, and modified it to work. Obviously, there are some universal sockets, as "Kevin in MN" found them. But, mine were already done. Mine are wired so that they come on as soon as I turn on my lights. So, here are the pictures that I should have posted in August!

    I found the Satin Chrome surround on ebay. It comes close to matching the satin chrome piece on the bottom of my bumper. The light did help with the dirt issue on the bumper, but the molded mud guards seem to have almost eliminated it.


    Taillights on. The Fog Lights are slightly brighter than the LED Taillights. This is more noticeable the darker it gets.

    Brake Lights on. Here is is evident that these fog light bulbs are brighter than the LED Taillights, but not as bright as the LED Brake Lights. I apologize for not posting these sooner.

    Rain-X does exactly the same thing, and it is a lot easier to use.  Squirt it on; wipe it off.  Any streaks will disappear during the first rain!  It fills in all the minute pores in the glass, and the rain just runs up the windshield.  No need for wipers.  I do this at least 2x a year.

    Maybe they should think about Supercharging the Pentastar. The Hellcats have this on the Hemi: 700 HP+. I was just reading a story about Volvo coming out with all new engines. The low lines get a turbo; the high lines get a supercharger.

    What engine? I can burn rubber from a standstill with my V6 - depends on how much gas I give it. I have never floored it because the torque steer is horrendous. When they decided to put the Pentastar in the DJ, the engineers should have figured out how to do it with equal length half shafts.

    What "Plug in" do I need to listen? I looked at all your pictures along the top of the Forum Home Page. What you actually did was to replace the resonators with mufflers. The muffler is up front somewhere. I'm still curious as to how it sounds.
