Expert Answers about Chevrolet Car Audio


  • Can Jensen USB Interface and Auxiliary Audio Input Jack JENAUX Charge USB Devices
  • Jensen USB Interface and Auxiliary Audio Input Jack item # JENAUX does not deliver DC to charge a device's battery. In this item the USB provides only the connectivity for playing back audio from an external USB storage device. For a product that allows USB battery charging for your devices you can use the Scosche ReVolt Car Charger - Dual Illuminated USB Ports - 12 Watt # 332-USBC242M with 2 charging ports. This plugs into a standard 12V power outlet like those in vehicles. We also offer...

  • How To Link Furrion Stereo To Bluetooth Device and Password That is Needed
  • According to the installation instructions for Furrion 2 Zone Stereo part # DV3100 after it finds the Bluetooth device, it shows the name of the Bluetooth device as DV3100-X. (X is determined by the number of the stereo unit you have). Once you select the DV3100-X on the screen, it asks for the password. Input 0000 as the password. Then it will tell you pair OK. After it says pair OK, most mobile phones automatically connect with the Bluetooth device of the car audio system. Other mobile...

  • No Audible Alert in RV after Depressed Brake Pedal on Roadmaster InvisiBrake
  • I called my technical support contact at Roadmaster and they informed me that it is likely that you have just switched the wires that go to both the LED monitor and audio board on the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System part # RM-8700. I would first try to switch the wires to see if that fixes your problem. If that doesn't work then you will want to inch forward a bit and hold the brake pedal to see if the alarm sounds. If neither of these options work then you would need...

  • Can a Backup Camera Audio Be Hooked Up To the Jensen RV Stereo JDVD1500
  • The Jensen RV Stereo # JDVD1500 is one of the more basic stereo units we have to offer and I believe you will be happy with it. You already noted that it is a single DIN and has the AUX and Bluetooth capabilities like what you're wanting. If your backup camera uses AV connections for the audio then yes, you could play the audio from your camera through your sound system, however the screen is a simple LCD display and wouldn't take on the functions of a monitor for your camera. This unit...

  • How Does Furrion Sound Bar # FSB24SA2C-BL Wire to RV Stereo
  • The Furrion RV Soundbar # FSB24SA2C-BL is a passive speaker that requires powered speaker wire ran to it just like any standard car audio speaker. The Jensen stereo you mentioned having would speaker out wires that are amplified that you'd need to use speaker wire to connect to the # FSB24SA2C-BL.

  • Are There Custom Install Wiring Harnesses for Jensen Mechless RV Stereo JHD1130WP
  • We do not have custom stereo install harnesses for our stereos like the Jensen Mechless part # JHD1130WP that you referenced. Your best option will be to use the included wiring diagram to wire to the labeled wires of your vehicle's stereo wiring. If that seems like a bigger job than you'd be interested a local car audio installer should have no problem.

  • Dimensions of Jensen JWM45
  • The Jensen # JWM45 fits a standard "double din" opening. "Double-Din" means twice the heigh of a normal car radio. This requires a cutout size of roughly 7-3/8 wide x 3-1/2" tall. The cutout can be larger than this but no larger than 8-3/16" wide x 3-3/8" tall, as that is the size of the face. It plays audio from radio signals, CDs, DVDs, and devices connected through Bluetooth or an auxiliary or USB cord. AM/FM tuner picks up radio station. 2-Zone output lets you play music in 2 separate...

  • Will Jenson Stereo # JWM60A Fit in Place of IRV66 Stereo in a 2015 Forest River 5th Wheel Trailer
  • As far as physical dimensions the Jenson stereo # JWM60A does not appear to match up to the iRV66 stereo. A place that installs car audio systems could make some filler to plug any gaps caused by dimensional differences though. The Jenson stereo face is 10-7/16 inches wide and 7 inches tall. The part that sits in the dash or wall is 9 inches wide, 6 inches tall, and 5-1/2 inches deep. Electrically the Jenson stereo has labeled wiring so worse case scenario it could be hardwired to the...

  • Recommended Replacement for Jensen VR209TP RV Stereo
  • The Jensen Touch Screen RV Stereo part # JWM60A is our best replacement for the Jensen VR209TP Stereo which is now discontinued. They are both double din units so the cutouts should be similar making for an easy install. In regards to the wiring, it will not be the same but I have attached the pin out of the new stereo below. If you don't feel comfortable making a few wiring connections you should be able to take the unit to any local car audio shop and they would be able to make the...

  • Pre-Collision Avoidance Error On 2017 Toyota Highlander with Trailer Brake Controller
  • The pre-collision avoidance error with an aftermarket brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 installed on a 2017 Toyota Highlander is a known issue. It's caused by back feed on the stop light switch circuit from the brake controller which is the red wire coming from the back of the unit. In order to fix this you will simply need to install a 1 amp diode in-line on this circuit which you should be able to obtain locally from an electronics or...

  • Safety System Error on Toyota Rav4 with Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller
  • I have not yet heard of this issue with the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller part # 39510 or one similar on a Toyota Rav4 but if it's anything like the 4Runner or Highlanger, it's caused by back feed on the stop light switch circuit from the brake controller which is the red wire coming from the back of the unit. In order to fix this you will simply need to install a one amp diode in-line on this circuit which you should be able to obtain locally from an electronics or audio supply...

  • Installing Monitor Circuit for InvsiBrake System Through Umbilical Connecting Motorhome and Vehicle
  • The Roadmaster InvisiBrake would be installed per the procedure mentioned on page 14-15 of the installation instructions that I've linked for you. Usually, you'd just use the single wire umbilical included with the kit. You could simply zip tie this extra wire to the umbilical you purchased. If you wish, you could eliminate the umbilical, and simply wire the circuit using an unused circuit in your coiled cord you just purchased. You'd need to cut the plug off the car and the motorhome end...

  • Availability of Roof Rack For 2011 Audio RS5 Coupe 2011 with Sunroof
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule and he said if your 2014 Audi RS5 has a bare roof, Thule does not recommend installing a roof rack on vehicles equipped with the glass roof. I also spoke with my contact at Rhino-Rack and he said they have no prohibition against using their roof racks with sunroofs. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack system, which includes the Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRVA126B-2, the 2500 Series Leg Kit, # RRRLKVA, and Custom DK Clamps and Pads, # DK312. This is...

  • Replacement Option for iRV RV Stereo iRV33
  • The Drive RV Stereo part # 324-000031 has one zone with a max output of four speakers. Therefore, this would not be a good replacement for an iRV RV Stereo part iRV33. Furthermore, you would actually need a double din not a single din like the above. I recommend the Furrion RV Stereo part # DV1230BL as this has three zones, double din mounting, and work with up to a total of six speakers. It also has HDMI ports and in my experience is better quality than the iRV options. Unfortunately,...

  • Troubleshooting A Quest QX-3701 RV Stereo That Won't Eject CD's
  • We don't carry these stereos so I can't say for certain but typically with car stereos you'll need to remove them from their mount and take them apart to get a cd out of them when the eject function stops working. Most likely it's time to replace your Quest RV Stereo. For a replacement I recommend the Jensen RV Stereo # JWM60A. This stereo has three different zones and plays audio from radio signals, CDs, DVDs, and devices connected through Bluetooth or an auxiliary or USB cord. The jControl...

  • Is a Wire Needed Between the Alternator and Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger
  • Yes, you will have to run a power wire from the alternator to the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger part # 331-BCDC1225D which gets installed on the trailer, there is no way around this nor would there be for any other battery charger of its kind. The correct size of wire to use will have much to do with the length between the alternator and trailer battery. Most likely you will need a 6-8 AWG wire. If you have any local car audio stores nearby they will most likely be able to sell...

  • Redarc Charger for 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2 with Dual Battery Setup
  • The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D that you referenced is the correct charger setup you'd need. It can put out up to 40 amps and is compatible with smart alternators like you have as well. I attached an install diagram that shows how it will wire up (without the solar panel you see pictured) as well as a link to the install instructions as well.

  • Can Air Lift Kit for 2015 Toyota RAV4 be Used for 500 lb of Stereo Equipment
  • Hey George, the Air Lift 1000 kit part # AL44VJ that you referenced would do a great job providing additional suspension support for your 2015 Toyota Rav4 that would have 500 lb of stereo equipment in it at all times. This weight wouldn't have any long term issues with the bags nor would it require a lot of maintenance in terms of checking air pressure. These are not really known to leak at all so I'd imagine you could go months at a time without having to worry about anything.

  • How To Wire a 5th Wheel for Triple Towing a Trailer with Brakes
  • It is possible to triple tow (1 tow vehicle + 2 trailers) when both trailer's have brakes but this would mean that the brake output wire that runs from the brake controller in the tow vehicle to both trailers would need to be at least a 6 gauge at the minimum so you don't have issues with voltage drop. Also, the number of braked axles cannot exceed what your brake controller is capable of handing which most are usually four. In order to obtain the needed length of 6 gauge or greater wire...

  • Trailer Hitch Installation, Support Strap and 2 Bike Rack for a 1990 Mazda Miata
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap, # 18050, is a strap that is designed to wrap around a bike rack or cargo carrier and helps to provide extra support to the receiver when carrying hitch mounted bike racks and cargo carriers. There is a rubber coated hook on one end of the strap that will hook into the trunk or hatch lip, the other end loops around the rack or carrier and the cam buckle is used to take up slack in the strap. The tie down brackets on your Miata do not have to be removed....
