Yep, the $900 appears to be the lower end too. Many are listed for $1000+...One thing I would caution, eBay takes a big bite out of the sale, try selling in this forum's classifieds or Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace if you do.
Thanks for the help, Brother!
How did you connect the antenna adapter? Most of them are powered.
I'll have to follow up with the shop that installed again. Is it too much to ask for things to be done right the first time anymore?
That is very interesting that you’re having such an issue. There are so many vehicles running similar setups. I’m halfway into ordering my setup but trying to figure out what amps to go with and what wattage I want to run to the doors. Unfortunately technology is a hard one since some things integrate better than others even with using the same equipment. I’m an electrician and have been installing car chargers a lot lately for commercial buildings and have had multiple failures on brand new in the box chargers. It partially appears to be a QC issue lately
Yeah it's frustrating for sure. Honestly don't know what to make of it. I guess it's possible the Maestro was also faulty, or a wire came loose or something. Perhaps disconnecting the battery will help...who knows. To be honest I had my doubts going into this because of all of the various CANBUS things that can happen with these trucks. I guess my worries have been confirmed.
Id recommend the AlphaRex headlights anyway if it makes you feel better about your choices?
Can I ask why you'd recommend the Alphas over the Morimotos?
Probably just a bias from me from their launch. There are some threads here somewhere discussing the issues folks had. While they are arguably the best, AlphaRex offers second best at a much lower price point.Can I ask why you'd recommend the Alphas over the Morimotos?
Everything I read says that the Morimotos are an overall better product, outside of the price tag. I want true plug & play, no AlphaOBD or extra trickery required.
EDIT: Also - the stock radio is back in, and everything is as it should be. Never been happier to see a stock radio.
What factory audio system do you have in the truck? Is it a factory 8.4 six speaker system?
8.4 Alpine System with Nav.
Gotcha. After reading your posts I was thinking an amp upgrade may be a better option since you could keep the factory head unit. The Alpine system really hampers the ability to upgrade.
Ultimately that's what I'll end up doing if I ever go back to the audio system. Rip out the Alpine stuff and put in a PAC unit with an aftermarket amp, speakers and sub.
I’ll play devils advocate. You have factory projectors which are pretty good. Your rims in the profile pic look good. You only use headlights at night and you can’t see the rims when you are in the cab listening to your awesome new amp. I know I don’t get a vote but my non vote is upgrade the amp. LolUltimately that's what I'll end up doing if I ever go back to the audio system. Rip out the Alpine stuff and put in a PAC unit with an aftermarket amp, speakers and sub.
For now i've moved onto other things....rims or headlights.
Just a thought, many have replaced the factory sub only (drop in to OEM box) and like the results.Ultimately that's what I'll end up doing if I ever go back to the audio system. Rip out the Alpine stuff and put in a PAC unit with an aftermarket amp, speakers and sub.
