Can Copper tubing be used? The manual shows plastic tubing connecting to the head unit- any reason Copper wouldn't work/seal properly?

I feel copper can be used as long as the Outside Diameter (O D) is the same as the plastic tubing. There are O-rings inside the head unit. Sorry, I don't have the O D measurement of the tubing. I installed the water filter in my camper, which is in storage for the winter... miles away.

There is a gasket around the needle that holds the seal. It's the same material that is used in gaskets for compressors. If you cleaned the copper before installing, it should last a long time.

all head units will be compatible, although if you dnt have a solidering iron and a basic understanding of cars, you will probably need a professinal set up a wiring harness for you. wouldnt be very costly.

Using the wireing harness it does connect to the speakers and works very well but the radio antenna does not fit and they don't make a conversion so I had bought one spliced and heat shrinked it to make it fit ... Very happy with the head unit thus far

If you mean the video from say a DVD playing on the display of your headunit, then it's not this harness that you need to alter to make it work. It's on your headunit to OEM interface that you need to look into. Also note that it is in fact illegal to do so in most states.

By no means am I a professional, but I installed mine myself and had no similar issues. Works and sounds like a dream for me. If you've already double checked your install and wiring with a multimeter, I'd think maybe it had something to do with your head unit possibly????? But again, not a professional...Just a guess. Wish I could be more help. Good luck!!

The old fashioned speaker wire works just fine. You can use banana plugs or screw tighten the copper wire.

Make sure your solution is compatible with copper pipe (non corrosive) and it should work.

Still love the system. We changed the plastic adaptor with copper adaptors. I wouldn't recommend changing the tubing, it fits into the end and seals just so, but the other fittings you can make copper. Lowes helped us find the right fittings. We can taste the difference. Our water isn't really cleaned well here, it taste so much better and don't have to worry about our stomachs not racing well to the water anymore.

I thought I might have that problem too because I replaced a really old Alpine. Mine went plug to plug no problem. Our local Ziebart store does stereo stuff if I need that...you might try Best Buy or Radio Shack to get something to come together.

qualifying the answer, yes, if you are sweating copper you will need to sweat a connection that will match the end of the plastic line that connects to the filter, other wise when you tap into the copper tubing, see that the part you use to tap in the copper accepts the tubing to the filter.

This is used with a gasket. Put a nice coating on the stat housing and the head.. This is good..will seal the tiny little nooks you might get a seepage. make sure both surfaces are clean and smooth..no old sealer or gasket left.Works very well, properly tighten down the housing..snug all bolts to make sure everything is seated..then tighten to proper specs.

Yes as long as you remove the DIN sleeve from around the head unit. It will probably be locked on with metal tabs.

I just wrapped the speaker wire around the speaker connection on my speakers, and it worked fine (I had the same issue - my amp only had RCA output but my speakers needed regular speaker wire)

Better off keeping the factory head unit or saving up. Mine lasted a week past the warranty

You have to go to the Manufacturers website & look for specific compatibility. This I think requires a CD changer outlet in the back of the head unit, but a SPECIFIC changer plug. Do you research.

i had the same issue. what i did was cut some of the green tubing to go over the connections on the pick up tube. to seal it up. that's where it is sucking air in. so i cut pieces about 1" long to fit over each connection on that pickup tube. and problem solved.
