I'm glad I didn't buy a jammer, because detectors are legal in my state. The concealment is for traveling in states that detectors are prohibited.

For those of you that are skeptical about jammer/blockers might want to read http://www.guysoflidar.com/.

All the best,

broncrog,
I was standing in my local car audio shop's sound room when I noticed they had a blank spot for a head unit, with a USB port. They could input music & I-pod adapters on it. Thats when I noticed that adapter, or holder behind it.

So I asked for one. I is hot glued to where the aux. input use to be. The opening was dremeled out, to fit the end of the usb plug. The adapter, or holder, is mounted on the under side, with hot glue.

In conclusion, I would stop by your local car audio & check out their sound room.

Just to be clear, my Kenwood has the USB port all ready on it. So, now all I need to do is make it fit in the stock adapter. Hot glue is what you used? It's holding? It really looks good bro.

broncrog,
Yes, my Kenwood has the USB port also. My set-up goes, Kenwood USB, to 3ft USB extension, to USB Holder (Hot glued to trimmed aux input).
NOTE: The USB cable itself is not hot glued, the "holder" is hot glued.

Thanks for the compliment.

Great, now.. Where did you hook the "reverse" wire from the new unit? I believe it's purple and white.

broncrog,

I believe so, however my installer did the wiring.
Maybe TritonV8 could way in here, he did his own install!

Default USB Input

Looks Awesome! Can you please tell me where you purchased the USB mounting plate that you installed where the standard LINE IN port is?

Really appreciate it!
