Best buy usually won't touch aftermarket installs unless you buy the whole setup from them. You'll have to find a custom audio shop if you don't want to do it yourself.

I'm not sure how the JVC head unit works but I'd be surprised if the wire weren't already long enough to do it and just hidden away somewhere.

Big thanks. Installed new speakers today and got the window problem. Followed the "Window Fix" instructions and everything was all better in 30 seconds!!!

The controls for the AC do not light up nor effect the settings at all.

I'm at this point too. I disconnected the battery, installed the new head unit and checked all the connections. Then I reconnected the battery to test the stereo which works great, but...

The AC is on low and cold and the controls for it have no effect nor do they light up along with the dash lights.

I checked the fuse in the lower, driver kick panel area and it's fine. After reading about the issue here, I pulled everything back out (PITA!) and checked the big white plug going to the AC box and it's plugged in all the way.

It seems the problem others were having was that they forgot to plug theirs in but mine is plugged in all the way. I even pushed it in harder and it wouldn't go any farther in so I'm officially stumped.

Is there something else I can check? Right now I'm leaving my battery disconnected overnight.

Anyone please?

I had a few days rest from all this and came back to it refreshed. During this time, I had checked all the fuses and left the battery disconnected, hoping the car would heal itself once plugged back in after all this time.

Well, no, same problem with the fan blowing, no AC control and no lighting. So, I double checked the big white plug on the AC module again and it's in tight.

Then it occured to me that I had removed the actual AC controls (the module with three circular knobs) to transplant them into the Metra dash kit and what do you know...I had forgotten to insert the little black plug in.

Derr....

I was baffled with this same problem for my windows. The ol' search feature brought me here! Fixed my window issue on the first try! Thanks!

My dealer did some warranty work (head gaskets) window was not rolling up auto after i closed to door. Glad i read this before i took it back!
thanks.

A huge "THANK YOU" for this thread! I had the window and airbag issue after my stereo install. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Saved me a trip to the dealer and a few buck$ as well!

Some lights not coming up
 
I install a new HU and here are my problems I read the thread n try a few things but :(

1 AC thermostat control illumination not coming up
2 hazards button and Synchro Rev not illuminating
3 Dimmer Controls not working to adjust the illumination neither they get illuminated
4 steering wheel controls not illuminating
5 door panel light does not comes up
6 traction control not illuminating
7 after closing the door n locking it with the door button the car does not make the beeping sound (tried holding lock n unlock buttons simultaneously in the remote n no bueno :(

I'm thinking that most of the illumination problem has to do with pin 8 (white) in the oem harness that needs to be grounded like 15 but not sure. I checked the fuses in the kick panel/under steering n in the battery n everything seem fine. I look at the fuse box behind the battery by removing the cover but did not inspect them cause from what I could read without moving the battery there nothing with illumination related. Is there a Fuse replacement problem if so where please? Or it gets solved grounding the 8 pin? Also I notice that when I switch the ignition button/ start button to Accesories the check engine gives me a code of 5 blinks. Anyone knows what is the car telling me? Is this related to the illumination problem? Help is appreciated thanks guys

Hey guys,

I've searched and tried every window reset method I could find on the forums... Tried to hold the button down then up for 15 seconds about 10 different times none of them worked. Help??

The windows still do the auto adjust thing when you open/close the doors, you just can't raise or lower the windows at all. Anyone had this happen? Any ideas what I should try to reset to get this to work???

bigaudiofanat 04-14-2014 10:03 PM

Are you doing it one by one with all doors shut?

ufoz8mycow 04-14-2014 10:59 PM

Yes! All doors shut, turn to ON, hold switch in down position for 15 sec, then up for 15 sec.. Tried both sides 5-6 times with different variations, none worked. Any ideas? Thanks big

Tried 10 seconds down then 10 up... Up then down, 5 seconds each way.. Nada. The windows go all the way up and down when I use the little emergency key in the door so I know the damn things work just fine.

In other news the rest of my head unit install went perfectly and I even got the steering wheel controls to work pretty easily thanks to the other threads around here, so today was not a total fail.

+1 for the write up, saved me a headache of going down to the dealership

mab864 07-07-2014 10:05 PM

Thanks for the help on the airbag light fix. I just had a new head unit & speakers installed and got the airbag light. The install shop checked all fuses and then scheduled me for next week to diagnose the issue. Quick search here and wham... no more airbag light. Thanks a million!!!
