  1. Hello, I lost my radio code CDR-210 Serial Number W5019176
  2. I just used Crutchfield and am pretty happy with my set up. All I changed was my HU but I am in the process of doing my speakers. I would have done speakers first but I lost my code and HU was not working. Yes I know I could have gotten the code, but it was good motivation for change and install a bluetooth setup and Crutchfield next day'd the stereo for free. I had pretty much settled on a radio when the sale man suggested, JVC ARSENAL KD-A925BT. It came with all the wiring harnesses necessary and removal tools. Luckily I did not have to search for a switched power and did not have to do any wire splicing, basically plug and play. I guess I have the upgraded stereo in my car. Though I am definitely more impressed with the better sound coming from the new HU, I will be changing speakers. I don't require anything crazy volume wise and I like things to look stock, so I will changing out speakers with speakers that fit the current look and keeping the stock amp. C.
  3. Update So I disassembled my door per the posted instructions from this site. My intentions were to correct the problem of the window not going up that last 10mm. Before I disassembled I tried to reset the windows which did not work. I figured my problem was on of the 7 microswitches and had figured it to be the sensor that tells the car the door is open. My reasoning was that my window always remained short that 10mm and when I locked my doors, I got a single alarm chirp. The alarm chirp, is activated when you lock the car and a door is open. I got that from this listing. When I got the door disassembled, I disconnected the wiring harness that connects to the lock assembly where the sensor that indicates if the door is open. Reading on another thread, I plugged it back in to see if that was the issue. I reconnected the battery and the problem was solved. So I just had a loose connection, problem solved. Tomorrow I try to solve my non-working alarm. So thanks again Renntech!
  4. I think I found my answer here. Thanks to those that have gone before me and thanks to this site for this kind of info. I am glad I am a contributing member.
  5. News Flash, As I returned from the gym today, I closed the garage door and noticed the courtesy lights were on inside my car (I drove my minivan to the gym). I recall the folks at the body shop telling me the battery kept draining, so I figure this was the culprit. I am guessing their is a sensor that thinks my door is open and not only is leaving the lights on, but my window down that half inch. Does this make sense to anyone? If so, what do you think I should check? C. Amores
  6. Hey Folk, I like Coaster am having the same issue. After checking our all the posts related (thanks for the list Coaster) I think my problem is a microswitch. As to which one, I am uncertain. Recently, my car was in the shop to remove a small dent. When I got it back they told me they had to buy me a new battery and to add to frustrations, I can not find my radio code. So they charged the battery and from then on, the window will not go down the 1/2 inch when you activate the switch on the inside and outside handle. I hear them click, but I don't hear anything being activated. So I went back to the shop and they told me they were having this issue. We tried to reset a couple of times by bringing the window down then holding for 5 seconds then raising the window as far as it will go and holding for 5 seconds, and repeated this procedure 3 times. The passenger side door is working properly but the driver's door, still will not go up all the way. We disconnected the battery and surprisingly, the window will go up all the way (when the door is shut) and hold. Once you go down again, having not opened the door, then raising the window, it will go up but will be short that 1/2 inch. So it seems that my regulator is fine and I assume it is one of the microswitches. So how do you test them and or clean them? Or am I doing something else wrong? Thanks in anticipation of your help.

  7. Hello Folks, I am thinking of adding a MY 06 Cayenne S to keep my MY 99 997 company. I am going to assume on all the cars I see that the pipe change has not been done, but it would sure be nice to find an SUV with this done already. Is it possible to visually inspect to see if this has been done?
