A friend had a Kenwood HU in their car that crapped out and they replaced it with an Alpine. So now I have the Kenwood and was hoping I could fix it and make some cash. It was a nice unit a couple years ago, about $300. I think its model number KDC-519.
The problem is it was one of those stealth face units, the ones where the face flips back and forth when you power on/off the car. Well the face no longer flips so the unit wont turn on. From what I was told, there is a ribbon cable in there that is probably worn out that is causing the problem that needs to be replaced.
Going through Kenwood to have it fixed is probably more of a hassle than what I want to deal with. Does anyone know where I can get one of these ribbon cables and what is involved in replacing one?
