legacy2.5GT05 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I purchased the pro kit last week. Had Charlie (cfdrumr) install it Saturday. Took a good 4 hours because my radio was being retarded (feel free to elaborate here charlie haha). Finally got it to read the blank cd. Next we installed the Kenwood ipod/iphone cable (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-xAFvXJOitsj/p_113IP301V/Kenwood-KCA-iP301V.html) which is the same exact setup he installed on his car. (walkthrough here> http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125888) We got it all installed. Plugged in his iphone 3G and started itunes, music is playing great through all speakers in the car. Everything groovy and good to go right? WRONG! I plug in my iphone 3G, the battery indicator goes into charge mode, and i go to play a song. Then..music comes out of the iphone internal speakers!! Nothing out of the car stereo. I remove my phone. Charlie plugs his Iphone 3G back in. Music plays out of car speakers. He removes his phone, plugs in his ipod classic. Music plays out of car speakers. Strange right?! That's just the beginning. I go over to his car. With the same exact pro kit, and kenwood setup installed. He shows me that his phone works with it. Music plays fine. I plug in my phone to his car's setup. and guess what? My iphone's music plays through his car speakers perfectly!! Explain that one! I go to Apple store, the genius bar technician was kind enough to come to my car so I could show him. He first restores my phone, wiping it clean, and adds new music on it so we can test it. He brings his iphone 3GS. I plug in my newly restored iphone 3G. Same result, out of the internal speakers. He tries his phone. Same result. So in conclusion. 1. My iphone 3G plays music and charges in Charlie's car but does not play music in mine, (only charges). 2. Both his iphone 3G and his ipod classic work in both his car and mine. 3. My newly restored iphone and the apple technician's 3GS do not play in my car (internal speakers). 4. Kenwood's adapter says it is compatible with all versions of the iphone. Any of you geniuses out there wanna help me figure this mess out? *Utterly dumbfounded and confused* Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniStiGuy Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Try blowing compressed air into the headphones jack and then try it again. This is an issue with crap getting stuck up in the jack and not allowing the contacts to fully hit so the phone wont go into headphones mode. Please let us know if this fixes your problem.

legacy2.5GT05 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 I took it to the apple store and they used compressed air to blow out the bottom of it. (it plugs into the dock connector not the headphone jack). And it's weird that their phone wouldn't work either. I even tested my phone out in one of their bose external music docks and it played fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfdrumr Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I have to say I think Steve's HU was built by Satan himself... That thing kept bugging out during the install. I think it is a problem with the phone. Try restoring it to an older firmware. I would like to point out that both my Iphone 3g 16g and my brand new 160gb Ipod Classic play in his car... hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laz Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Ok so if I am rading this right only the iPhone 3GS is not playing right? maybe the adapter is not the right one or broken? Just a thought. Can you use his iphone adapter cable in your car? Alo check to make sure all pins are intact on the cable. X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniStiGuy Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 no he's saying that his 3G and the AT&T guys 3GS both didn't work but the other guys 3G does work. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy2.5GT05 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 what other kits can i use? maybe it's just the kenwood. Any others out there that will plug into the dock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabin Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 i'm using the cable kit jazzy has on his site http://www.jazzyengineering.com/product_info.php?products_id=52&osCsid=vj4acg1d1qeqjkerpqafkv9s53 works great with my iphone 3g and does not take up a 12v outlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy2.5GT05 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Only problem with that is it takes up the headphone jack on the top and the dock on the bottom of the iphone.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfdrumr Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Steve... it cannot be the kenwood unit because my phone and iphone work in your car and the exact same Kenwood unit is used in my car where your phone worked. Try unplugging the USB power and see what happens. Try using a standard ipod and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy2.5GT05 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Yeah i'll try both of those and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy2.5GT05 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 I tried unplugging the usb power, didn't have an ipod to test out. I just bought a 4 dollar stereo cable to substitute for now until I can figure something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Buy Charlie's car. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabin Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Only problem with that is it takes up the headphone jack on the top and the dock on the bottom of the iphone.. it allows you to use either the minijack or the dock connector, you don't use them both at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
