Hi All,

Hope you can help me here.

I have a kenwood (car stereo) head unit in the car, with an infra red
remote fob that (I assume !) re-activates it once the power has been
disconnected.

The Faceplate would automatically revolve when I turned on the
ignition, but now refuses to do so at all once I changed the battery
the other week.

Can anyone tell me where the sensor for the radio/head unit ? Is there
a time limit before it refuses to acknowlege the remote ?

I can't get the model number as this is on the bit that revolves back
into itself when the ignition's off

Thanks for any help

Regards

Paul.

of the D-mask units I've seen, there is a "hidden" button on the top left
that you just push (it's more like you bend the corner of the blank plate)
and the head unit will open. The IR remote won't do anything because the
face needs to be exposed to receive the IR signal. If you posted the model
number, that would be most helpful or go to www.kenwoodusa.com and find the
manual, download it and read it.

I am not sure if your car stereo is similar to mine but I just had
this problem when i bought a 99 truck and was screwing around with the
buttons. I of course managed to push the button that makes it rotate
and I have no remote or manaul. There are 2 ways, depending on the
stereo that I know of: 1. you push on the left top or left bottom
WHILE the ignition is on 2. Mine had a tiny button on the bottom of
the stereo towards the right hand side, you can barely see it but it's
there!!

I hope one of these works for you.
