![]() If your car is fitted with a Kenwood Head Unit then it is likely the ir transmitter diode is being blocked. Have a read here:

![]() It's sorted!! I simply removed the CD case from the cubby-hole above the stereo and now the remote control works
![]() Now that could qualify for shortest and easiest "how to" ever! Thanks again Mike.

![]() Had the same problem, and yes it was a CD case in the cubby hole above the stereo.
I wonder how many times this has happend, as its the perfect place for one to put the empty case! Malcolm Last edited by malcolm; 22nd January 2008 at 18:55.. |

![]() Just had the same problem, I was fitting wires behind stereo so had the stereo out and before screwing everything back in I tried it out to ensure it worked. The stereo was dangling out of the hole and the wheel controls didn;t work. Took my 20 mins of checking everything I had done before i came inside and found this thread.
Oh the simple ones are the best. |

![]() silly question, but where is the transmitter that the steering wheel switches actuate?
I presume the wheel switch loom is exactly the same on all cars? |

![]() follow the link above and you see the ir link. the box that controls the ir seems to sit behind the stereo.... a little box above the bracket at the back of the stereo.

![]() yes I'd read that - but presumed that bit was the one connected to the stereo to take the signal! I see now....
