I'm replacing a Winegard In-Motion satellite dome. Will my existing wiring work with this model King Dome? Thanks a lot.

I bought a KD-3000 and had nothing but headaches. Spent days troubleshooting why initial calibration wouldn't work. Numerous calls to their tech support folks only ended in frustration when they wanted to sell me (or rent at a ridiculous rate) a calibration gauge. Finally resorted to hiring a professional installer to troubleshoot and he determined that the motherboard was faulty. He strongly recommended that I purchase a Winegard In-motion. I did. And I am SO GLAD that I didn't struggle anymore with the King Dome product. Summarily unimpressed with the product and the support. Winegard is much simpler control unit.

Our house is wired for cable. Since we use the cable for internet, the satellite installer didn't use the existing cable wiring. You could easily do the same.

Lorie--it sould work (same size) but we have the g6a-8E (electronic switch) so you will have to put in a switch. But it went right in & replaced the old one wire for wire. It was pretty easy for my husband to do with a little help from me holding it up!!

if its a single there should be enough, well almost you might need to splice some more ultra fine wire, remember.. this is a very sensitive unit and by adding wire, you will change the resistance of the leg of the circuit, if its a king size bed, you might have to move the bed in a few inches, hope that helps, after all this company is so wonderfull I dont mind being part of there problem!

Yes it will most definitely work. I have the same one but it's mounted on a roof with the same type of dish, I get all the sats, 110,119 and 128 which is ceil for HD channels. You shouldn't have any problems as long as you have a decent sat finder. Hope I was a help to you. Good luck with your install.

Richard, Dometic has made many versions of the Comfort Control Center. If yours was working and now it is not and yours has 5 buttons (no more and no less) then it will work on your unit. Dometic's part numbers change so much that if you want go the number route then you need to call them direct. I talked with them and that is what they said, 5 buttons only!

First alert and brk are the same. It should work just fine. You will probably need to change out the ring though other than that just plug in no wiring whatsoever.

Is there a different colored wire associated with the parking brake on that model? I had to buy an Alpine wire harness, as I bought my INE-940W used and it came with a harness that was missing the blue/yellow and black/yellow wires. Your model is newer, so I would assume that the wire color is either different or they made it so you couldn't cheat the system. Double check your instructions to see what wires are associated with the parking brake, if any at all. Hope that helps, but without seeing the instructions, or wires coming from the plug, I don't know what else to do. Google really helped me figure it all out. Crutchfield might have some options for you too. Good luck!! Is there a different colored wire associated with the parking brake on that model?

Hi I don't really know the answer to your question. I plugged my existing connection for the lights and it worked. No new wires or changes.

The Instructions are a little confusing, I had to just go by what each wire does: I used Conventional Diagram! I also Double checked connections On the internet utilizing how my old one was connected & tagged the wires with the corresponding letters shown on the wiring diagram? I don't know if I have confused you more O actually helped you? Good Luck! =O)

If you do not already have the powered wall plate, you will need to buy that as well. If you already have the power wall plate from a previous Winegard Antenna install, all you need to do is swap the antenna heads, though the newer adjustable wall plate is a drastic improvement over the old factory units that simply switched on and off.

Yes, just don't install that top part (and obviously you won't have to plug that part in). It should work fine with the top part missing as long as you follow the remaining installation instructions for the bottom and the wiring.

Yes, when you change channels you will hear a slight sound and that is the unit moving to the satellite that the new channel is on. I am VERY pleased with this dome unit. To set it up when you arrive, you turn on your receiver and push a button on the Dish remote and within 5 minutes it automatically connects. The reason I bought this unit was Dish would no longer support my receiver (mid 1990's) and my antenna was made in 2003. I went to the Dish 211K and it would not support my old antenna. I found the best price on this unit at the time on Amazon. It was shipped from King Dome to me overnight FedEx. Buy this unit you will not regret it.

We got one for our motor home, but it should work the same way. Dish was excellent in walking us through the process once your satellite dish and receiver are hooked up.

I'm not familiar with that model but if it has three wires that go to it, it should be compatable. The new units come with the wired connecter so match the colors of wire and your good to go.

I have DISH satellite and it works like a charm. I assume since you need to set the azimuth, elevation and skew no matter what brand of satellite dish you own, this should work for any dish setup.

Directions are pretty good as far as the wiring goes but lacking in the mounting instructions (simple enough though). As far as the dome light wiring, it will depend on the make and model of your vehicle. If it is a standard dome light, then you will only have a switched 12 volt power feed. You will need to get a constant 12 volt wire to the unit too. It's not to hard to do, just takes some time to get it from under the dash, behind the windshield pillar and above the roof liner. But once done, this unit is well worth the price.
