[majood_me]

Hi there ....

iv finaly installed a kenwood dvd system , but the problem is that the steering wheel buttons and the backup sensor has stopped working

is there any way to connect them with kenwood system ??

Not unless Kenwood offers a harness. That's the downside of going aftermarket. I think theyve been rendered useless now...

Visit Crutchfield

My 2008 Explorer came with Microsoft Sync and just a factory CD player with Sirius. I replaced my head unit with a Kenwood DVD Navigation System as well. If you go to Crutchfield, they have a harness that will allow you to keep all your functions with no problems. I installed it myself and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. It's a pain in the arse to program your steering wheel buttons to correspond to the PAC module (a part of the aftermarket/adaptor harness), but it just takes a little time. The only thing that sucks is that my Sync info doesn't display on head unit, so i have to use the little LCD screen they provide with it for that. Other than that, Sirius is displayed on my head unit and the IPOD interface works great. I did notice however, that my back up sensor is still there, it's just a little lower in volume now. So while backing up, I just turn the radio down so that I can hear it.
