Hi
I've just bought and istalled a new Kenwood head unit with the iPod interface in my wife's car. Used it today for the first time and it's great (£160 from Car Audio Direct for both the KDCW4531 head unit and KCAIP500 interface box, if anyone's interested).
Anyway, I was looking at the little steering wheel remote unit that Kenwood do (KCA-RC700A) but can't figure out how it works. It seems to use some sort of wireless or infra-red connection, there was a wire on the head unit loom that was terminated with a clear sort of LED-looking thing. This remote seems to have a similar thing and it's supposed to attach to the back of the steering wheel.
Is anyone into Kenwood kit or have one of these? Do I have to fish this wire out from behind the head unit so that there's some sort of direct line of sight connection?
Thanks.
