FREE!!!! ????????????????- Pay it Forward (READ POST #1 FIRST!)

In keeping with the generous spirit of ghetto waggon's original thread, here is version II.

For the new people to the thread: What we are trying to accomplish here is a place to come and get an item for free (or shipping cost) and in turn you offer up something in equal value to the community. This is not a TRADE thread. If you want what is up for grabs then you claim that and put up what you have up for grabs.

Version I was getting a little cluttered and confusing. Here is what we are going to keep as "rules" for this thread.

Rule updates made by: evilmonkeyMSP


- Only one offering at a time can be available. (if you have tons of things you would like to give away regardless of taking what is available, by all means, start your own thread :) ) If more than one item is posted I (evilmonkeyMSP) will delete the post and PM the member to hold off.

- No "dibs" to search for something to put up. The first person with something to offer up in exchange gets the current item up and cannot back out once they have taken the previous item (especially if that item has already been shipped to them)

- A picture of the item would be nice but a proper forum pic will only be required if money is exchanging hands (ie: Shipping).

- If an item does not go after 1 full week it will be taken off and someone else can offer something new.

- The next item offered cannot be put up/taken until the previous offer is confirmed to be going to the person who requested it.

For example: Poster #1 puts up spark plugs and poster # 2 wants them and in turn offers up a mazda shirt in turn. Until Poster #1 aknowledges that Poster #2 is getting the spark plugs Poster #2's item cannot be taken.

- The item replacing an item that is being taken should be relatively equal in value. If you need to offer multiple items to replace the one you are taking, this can be done. No trading a turbo in exchange for a mazda pen (evil).

This is hopefully to help keep things less confusing.

We want to keep this going for as long as possible. I will try and monitor the thread as much as possible, and evilmonkeyMSP will moderate as needed.

Current Item up for grabs:

I think it may be for satellite radio (looks similar to what I've seen on the back of receivers), but I just don't know what the advantage of that would be over a simple mini-stereo --> rca cable...
 
I-pod cable
edit-or disc changer-they use the same plug

i've got it on mine
 
gotcha. Can someone explain to me what the difference is between an HU that is satellite ready, and one that isn't? Most "connect" via sending out an FM signal, you can connect it in the RCA input, but you don't need to be satellite ready to have the tuners work in those ways...I never really understood it

Satallite ready means that you have the ability to go out and but the extra box and wiring needed to hook to the back of the hu and that the head unit has the ability to control your satalite radio without the need of the stand alone units
 
would need to have a digital connection for that though right? Or is that more for when you have those super expensive dealer-installed units that are hidden behind the dash?

As for the unit that is presently being sold, this is what is written in the owner's manual:
"To Kenwood disc changer/ External optional accessory"

Edit: I think shadow answered my question...
 
I am using a $9 Ebay ipod cable for mine. I can't control it with the headunit, but that is fine by me

And, you can get the Kenwood Sat or HD rec's and install em yourself too instead of dealer crap
 
and offer up your MAM catted midpipe?

I got dibs!

I will offer up my 1st born child
 
Me? no...I already have a better Kenwood that came with my MP3, and just bought the MSP kenwood unit to replace mine like 2 days ago. I was just curious, and there's some good info for people to use this with, since they CAN use that plug with an "in-dash" satellite tuner.
My midpipe is installed and going NOWHERE! :D
 
NOT ME!! lol

We got 3 dogs and 5 birds, 1 of which is a baby and keeps falling out of the nest
 
I received the P5 radio yesterday.

Yes, the Kenwood is still available. The round jack in the back can be used for an iPod cable, or a remote CD changer. You can check the owners manual for more info; as I posted a while back you can get it on Kenwood's website.
