I recently installed the USA-630 radio in my '57 Chevy and I love it! Question: I get no connection from the USB connection. Should I contact the installer, question my equipment or is the connection only compatible with other Autosound accessories?

Alan, I'm afraid more likely than not, it is a design flaw in the unit. I have a 630 in a 67 Mustang. The USB is intermittent. It works for cash few minutes and then it quits. I tried 3 different flash drives and replaced the USB cable with no improvement. Last week I spoke to another car owners with a 630. He has the same problem. Sorry I can't be more encouraging.

Thanks for the update! I'll look into the BX-1021, did you have to use a special cable to connect it to the IM600? Altec told me last week that the sub-woofer for the VS-2421 would work as well. I'm little leary as they have given me bad advice before. My remote for the IM600 died back in March, it's taken me this long to get a replacement. They said it shipped, then said it was out of stock and would ship when they got them in (2 months ago), didn't ship, had to call (2 weeks ago) with still no remote, called again last week, hopefully it's on it's way. Not impressed with their CS.

I have an aftermarket Sony stereo and had to remove it from the dash to gain access to the antenna connection. The antenna connector is on the back of the radio. There may be a connector that must be removed from the unit or antenna cable (no tools required) to allow this to plug in to the back. Mine wasn't apparent at first but I finally figured it out. Hope this helps.

I agree that it is a multi-wire plug only. No RCA plug inputs are available. I was lucky in that I had replaced my original radio (that comes standard with a 2003 GMC Sierra 1500) with an after market radio previously. The aftermarket company that put it in for me installed an adapter that converted the original wire set to one that would connect to an aftermarket radio. When I replaced the aftermarket radio with the Boss BV9962 all I had to do is clip and re-wire the adapter wires to the Boss BV9962. I assume that you'll need an adapter in order to connect this radio to your truck. (I also needed an adapter for the antenna!) I agree that it is a multi-wire plug only.

Max,I got a new HT via A,azion.com and it came from Radio mart in KY. Just way to many of you are worried about the newest version. My newest version is a 5RA and it has the 2nd to the last firmware.But that means nothing at all. All you need to know is here. http://www.miklor.com/ Please join the list but those guys will just tell you to read up in the files.I like mine,it has a siren,the case is beautiful but it has it's quirks. Guys are downloading software but I did mine manually. Some need WIN XP and others using VISTA need to download an updated driver. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LATEST FIRMWARE as i may only be a restriction on what you can or can't do out of the ham bands. I called this pure junk because it is hard to manually program it and at timed I'm in FREQ mode and it jumps into memory mode. Keep in mind that the mailing list is very,very large and many still do not have a TECH license. Use it as it was intended for and don't try making a queen mary from a canoe. Many are still using the very first unit and have no problems http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=608&userid=100556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baofeng_uv5r/ These links will help BOB AF2Q

This is Kevin from ReplacementRadios. It is listed for your vehicle on the manufacturer's site but, as indicated, you would need to disconnect your satellite tuner (at the tuner) in order to use this product. This means you will lose your satellite radio. As for your question on the cables, it comes with both of them pictured in the ad. There is a 30-pin iPod cable and an aux cable that has both 3.5mm and RCA connections. If you have a newer iPod that uses the Lightning connector, you can add the Apple-ready USB cable from Amazon listing B00LWHXIIG. It would be used in place of the 30-pin cable. If you have found this answer helpful, please consider purchasing from ReplacementRadios. We're a authorized iSimple dealer, which ensures you get a valid warranty and free iSimple tech support.

Hi Gerrid, call your car manufacturer for this question. You can use this link http://docs.sony.com/release/WXGT90BT_install_EN_FR.pdf It's the installation/connection guide for the car stereo.-Vincent

Well............I have a little 100W inverter I put in the cig lighter. I plugged in the tranmitter setting the Freq to 103.1. I plugged my I-pod into the trasmitter. I turned on my little sony walkman to that Freq, and wahlah. Perfect reception. Started my Chev Luv thinking of Alternator noise, or some kind of engine interference, but...............worked perfect. In my setup no noise. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze with mylink and it worked perfectly had no issues. I did however have it professionally installed along with my amp and speakers

I have an 09 Gallant. Do you have the 6 disc changer? If so, Google the model number and look fora site that gives you the socket pin outs. If not, no joy. There is no audio level in capability for the single disc stereo. I found the bad news onot the Internet and spent the better part ofa day trying to make it work anyway. A new head unit might even be a better idea.

I did the update, went smooth. Do you know is there is a comprehensive list of what was fixed/updated?I have some issues driving on a divided highway (Dale Mabry in Tampa) when you go by all the turn lanes between median, the gps tells you to "stay right ahead", every half mile or so, very annoying and not needed. I am already on the road I should be on. Any word on the volume, I have sebring convertible, with the top up it is noisier than the average car, really can't even hear the gps.

Look up the wiring codes for your aftermarket radio. There should be a wire marked "dimmer" or "dash light" or something similar. That's what you connect it to. It would help if you would tell us the model of the radio you're installing in your car and we could tell you the exact wire you need to connect.

It's a piece of crap! After buying 2 of them I just went to Walmart and got a car stereo and put on the boat. But try installing a fuse block if you don't have one, also make sure you have a good ground. Then when it still won't work go buy a cheap car stereo! �

Yes, as I understand you will the USB cables that plug into the back of the radio. I didn't get the USB cables which I think are extra as I just wanted to listen to the radio. Go to Jensen website as I'm sure they can explain it better.

Hello, J. Waldvogel!Could you recommend a better one for an average shade tree mechanic like me? I also need it to read the older OBD-I connector vehicles too. I have an old 1994 Chevy diesel truck that is showing a "Service Engine Soon" light. I would like to be able to connect to it and fix the problem.Thanks in advance!Lee

Yes it worked prefect. Fairly easy to install. The directions aren't that great. But not to bad. It does not retain the uconnect or microphone for the bluetooth. I had to install a Mic separately. But all is all it's a great product and I don't think you can get any aftermarket radio to work without it. One more thing before you buy it make sure to find out if you have a premium sound system or not. It matters. There are two different ones to choose from.

It does auto connect each time I turn the truck on. My truck can handle phone audio already, so that's already paired up. I only see media audio as an option in the settings.
