Danford, when you delve into this, be armed with a camera, and write down any notable wire colors. I have some lights i would love to tap into the accessory delay.

I ran line out converters also. It's easier if you tap the speaker wires where the run up the door pillars on either side of the front seats beind the panels where the seatbelts are attached. The colors will be the same. All you have to do is pop off a couple of interior panels to get to it. That way you don't have to pull the dash apart.

Has anyone found a kit?

Thanks. My buddy and I were discussing that just yesterday. We will develop something over the weekend.

One of my favorite things about the Sport models is the ambient lighting. Since I went with the SE, I decided I would design my own. There's still a bit more to come. I am planning on doing a bit in the front door pockets, and behind the front seats. The picture inside the trunk didn't turn out very well with my Iphone in the dark. What do y'all think?

Is that a factory amp or something? I've never heard of one that works like that. Here's another thought too.. The SJB utilizes a highly programable firmware. The dealership has a very expensive computer that can plug into the SJB and change certain settings. For example, change accessory delay times, enable/disable daytime running lights, etc. I just had the dealership plug into mine and enable DRLs. It cost me 1/2 hour labor charge @ about 55 bucks. It only took about ten minutes to sift through the menus to find the right setting. I can't guarantee the setting you seek is programable, but it might be worth asking experts at your dealership if they can completely disable the accessory delay for the stereo. Heads-up- this is very new and high tech stuff that most dealership techs know nothing or little about. I had to meet with four different dealerships here before finding one who actually knew how to enable DRLs. Be persistent. Most will tell you it can't be done. They're idiots. Good luck!

At least that's how it works on my 2010

Try running your amp remote wire through the firewall to the fuse box under the hood to #36. It won't turn the stereo off, but at least it won't be running your subs when you shut the engine off.

Why? That looks like garbage anyway.

Wow.. I'm a dumb ass. :banghead: Turns out there are 2 fuse boxes. Good to go now! :shift:

$54 for the set of 4. They wouldn't work anyway. I didn't realize that the factory ones actually fit behind the lugnuts. I've never seen a setup like this before.. back on the hunt!

#36 is wired to ignition. steady 12V. I ran my amp remote wire there.

Very possible: easy install too! http://www.logjamelectronics.com/blitzfordcanmlink2.html On sale till xmas too! Who's da man? :happy feet:

Strange... mine plays MP3 cds just fine, but not DVDs.. I'll just keep rockin the iPod for now.

Are you guys burning MP3's to CDs or DVDs? I'm pretty sure it won't read DVD discs... although it would be nice to have 4.7g of music on a disc opposed to only 750mb. Has anyone gotten theirs to play MP3's from a DVD disc?

2010 Fusion SE- no SYNC, 6 speaker setup- Wanting to add 6x9's on the back deck, but I can't find the wiring for speakers back there, although there are cutouts.. Has anyone done this? Shouldn't there be something there? Is there an extra output from the back of the stereo? or should I tap into the rear door speakers? wouldn't that mess with impedance? Or am I just screwed? Sorry about all the questions! :)

Doing the same with mine.. I found this (attached PDF), it's for installing 'angel eyes' but it shows you the best way to get crack the headlight housing open. hope it helps... post pics when you are done! Bake.pdf

Here's a few shots of mine... It's 20% all the way around with the winshield strip, which is a little below the 27% limit in Colorado. I'd recommend the window strip also.. I think it completes the look. I did get pulled over the other day, but only because the cop couldn't see my temp tag through the back window. When he walked up to my car after he pulled me over, he got close enough to see the temp plate and that was it. He never even questioned the tint. I wouldn't recommend going much darker than 20% as it does make it a bit tough to see out at night. I'm 25 with perfect vision, and I wouldn't go any darker myself. 20% looks good, especially in the dark. I have the same issue with the white in the dot matrix also. I'm going back next week to get the vinyl strip.

Does anyone have more detailed instructions on how this can be done? I spoke with three diferent dealerships today, and two said it couldn't be done, and the third said they really didn't know, but were willing to try for $110/hr. I'd like to bring them some sort of instructions. If it's only a 10 or 15 minute thing, I think I can get them to do it for 1/2 hr labor charge.

bad ass.. thanks for sharing
