I ordered an Alpine CDA-9885 from crutchfield last week and just got it in the mail yesterday. I also bought the XM tuner for it. I got everything installed and wired up today, and I LOVE IT. I was so done with local radio that I was about ready to pop my eardrums with toothpicks. Wiring the satellite antenna also made me feel very futuristic so +5 points for me. The problem is that after putting everything back together all of the lights except the rear defrost button on my A/C unit no longer work. Neither the symbols light up, nor do the green lights above the buttons lite up when I select where I want the air. If ALL the lights didn't work I would think I forgot to plug something in, but since that one is still on I just have to assume that jolting a bunch of 11 year old bulbs around causes them to break. Does anyone know who was doing the LED upgrades to the A/C units? He was making the lights blue and red and the temp setting knob would change from blue to red as you adjusted the temp. I think it was pittfirefighter but I couldn't locate the old thread, either through browsing this forum or reading through his old posts. Any help on that would be fantastic, and I had to share with someone about another upgrade to the car smile.gif.

Time to eat some humble pie...and take away my points. When I was putting the dash and console back together I *ahem* forgot...to plug the A/C controls back in. I would have thought of that right away but I'm still confused as to why the rear defroster still worked, unless I only unplugged one and there are two plugs back there. So now everything works great smile.gif. Pitt, let me know if you get the time and want to make some money doing that mod, I pay quick and ship fast.
