New Stereo Head Unit Sport Model *PROBLEMS*
Just excited to get this in the mail today and want to share the photo. lol. It's going in my Sport model, so I don't have anything to lose.
I'll update with an installed photo when I'm done.
JVC KWHDR81BT
**UPDATE 11/13/13**
I've installed the new JVC head unit. Sounds so much better!!! It should be the first upgrade to make if you are going to upgrade the audio.
That said, the installation was not without problems. After making all the wire connections, and installing the unit, the new stereo had no power. After a few calls to Crutchfield, the technician advised me to deviate from the wiring diagram a bit with my connections and the unit finally worked.
Stereo is working, but still, the steering controls are not working, even though I have the adapter wired in. Crutchfield is investigating and is supposed to get back to me about it.
I'll keep you guys posted on what happens next.
