hi everyone,

i have an aftermarket headunit installed in my balt, a Kenwood KDC MP345U.
when the unit has my ipod connected, it does not display the clock.. and you must hit the display button several times to show what the time is.
this is very annoying to do while driving just to figure out what the time is. i had bought a cheap clock from china that connects to the airvent on the dashboard but it ran on batteries and did not light up at night.

does anyone have a fix for this? some kinda clock that i can tap into the fusebox for power for a backlit screen?

thanks!

 

jus click the home button on your ipod... or set it to stay awake an put it on your dash easy fix

 

talk to somebody at best buy or something, i don't think posting on this forum about a kenwood headunit issue is really going to solve anything

 

it doesnt matter the fact that its a kenwood, im just saying that i'd rather not scroll through menus just to know the time

chop off the cigarette adapter
hardwire it in
fiberglass it in where the passenger airbag display is on your dash

so when u hit the disp button and select clock and leave it alone it doesn't stay on the clock? i was pretty sure that it did

 

thisss

and yes it stays on clock, but just as preference i like to keep it on song title/artist

minimum order quantity is 32
i only need oneee

 

found the unit on another site where you only need to buy one, but its power is DC 6volts, if i hardwire that into the fusebox, it will blow whatever fuse i connect it to

 

not but it will blow the clock pretty good at least
