Audio & StereoTechnical discussions about factory or aftermarket audio and video systems.
This is a discussion thread titled "JVC KW-AVX810 Install", within the Audio & Stereo forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
You mentioned your Metra harness and getting illumination from it. I just bought the 70-8113 from Metra and it only has ground, 12v sw, 12v con, and amp remote. How did you tap into illum. and/or dimmer? When I called Metra, tech support told me I needed the 70-8113 and that there was no illum. harness from them.
Can you tweak the proximity sensor yourself or do you have to bring it back to them? Have you have any false alarms? I've had one when there was a thunderstorm,thats it
You can tweak it yourself. Mine is set between 1/4 and 1/2. It is best to set it with your windows down was what I was advised. I have not had a false alarm yet but my truck is in a lot at work that is constantly patrolled by our security staff and home it's in the garage. Haven't had a big thunder storm yet, so will have to wait and see. Probably some evening at a mall someone will get the "step away" warning (LOL). Usually take the wife's jeep to the mall though since it turns on a dime instead of having to park the beast.

Thanks
Mark,
Iam not using the Metra harness you mentioned, I used the metra harness #70-1761. Its for 87 & up Toyota. My original system was not JBL so maybe thats why you are using a different harness?
Turns out the orange/white wire in the metra harness I have is the one that works for Illumination, like I had suspected. I hooked it up that way on my new HU and it works perfect.

Thanks Henry, but my problem is that harness 70-8113 doesnt even have an orange wire at all. So I'll need to connect the dimmer wire on the Kenwood directly to a wire in the factory harness......... but I have no idea which one it is. Metra told me also that there in no dimmer provision for their Toyota harness. I find that hard to believe since my factory JBL dims.

Yeah my factory unit dimmed also thats why i did not beleive them at Metra. Try Scosche maybe.

I'll check with them too. You didnt by chance write down or remember what factory harness number that was or what wire in the harness it was connected to do you? I guess I could do the multi-meter test but I'll feel more comfortable if I have an idea of where to look first. Metra suggested I take apart the steering wheel and connect it to the wire in the headlight branch........ fat chance of that , lol.

Well in the plug it was the wire right above/below the 12v constant, which is a yellow wire in the metra and scosche harness that would work on my non JBL truck. It is one of the wires at the end of the plug that much i can also say, its a 10 pin plug on my vehicle.
I will be taking my unit back out next week to install my HD radio receiver and BOYO Vision VTL300 (BLACK) rear veiw camera. Still waiting on the Sirius interface, but after I get that HD tuner on there the rest of the stuff just passes through each other so no need to pull HU again after cam and HD tuner are in.

Well I'll be darnit! Here I am thinking I have it somewhat going on with my avx800 and there's already an 810. Is the HD radio worth it vs. XM/sirius(yes/no is more than enough)
I don't have HD but I read its not worth it.The adapter for my Eclipse unit cost 300 - 400 hundred and there are constant drop outs.Stay with XM,you're paying for it anyway!

Well Iam going to keep the Sirius, whenever the adapter gets back in stock, supossedly in May, I have on on order already, from cruchfield.
I did order the HD tuner for the JVC it was $99 at sonic, will see how it works. So i will have HD, Sirius and I would like to hook on more thing up. Since this truck is not my daily driver I dont think I will go with the bluetooth, my Street Pilot bluetooth works pretty darn well for the limited calling I do in that truck. Maybe a CD changer? JVC has a nice small 12 disc one.

My father in law put HD radio in his car last year. Sure the channels are free, but they fail to tell you that the adapters are $300-400. He took it out and returned it within a week. He said it was the same commercial filled repetitive crap he was already listening to, just a little bit better quality.
I'd stick with Sirius/XM. For what they offer you, $13 a month is a bargin. I'd pay $30 a month if they wanted it to not have to deal with commercials and the same song played 10 times within an hour.

Well I would have not got it if the adapters were $300-400 but as I said its $99, dont see why your adapters are 4x as expensive? Having heard it, it sounds awesome! And seeing there are some additional cool channels in my area that you can also get I think its worth a try. I will still have the Sirius so no loss. The free part is very cool also.
Will report in when i get a chance to try it out in my vehicle.

Prices must have dropped alot in the past year, he paid $300 for his Eclipse HD tuner last year, and that was pretty average back then. How many extra channels are you getting?

Bunch of extra channels, see a station can send out 3-4 or more signals on the same band. Its called Multicasting, plus HD has artist and song tags too!
They are usually called for instance
WLUP HD
WLUP HD2
WLUP HD3.....
All different content on each one.
So one station can have in effect 3-4......different channels.
Should be very interesting. This is the direction of radio anyhow, just like digital for TV it is enevitable. Its a very good progression, that would be hard to argue against.
