Dear Owners,
Is it possible, if I own a 2011 Honda CT with just leather to install a rear view camera/gps unit from Honda? I would like Honda to install the OEM on that is on the better model?
* Also I installed a SUB/AMP package from JL Audio and it disabled the Handsfree option on the steering wheel. Is there a way to enable both?
First, the OEM model is nothing to write home about. The signal quality out is pretty much crap, so you have to invest in something like a JL CleanSweep, Rockforf ThreeSixty.3, or JBL MS-8 to clean it up and give you a clean signal. Just using a cheap LOC will give you crap sound, especially to your subs since the factory deck totally rolls off your subs the higher the volume goes. Myself, I say just install a nice aftermarket unit and be done with it.
Also yes, you can defeat ANC (active noise cancellation) and keep your HFL (hands free link). I had to do it when installing the system in my Crosstour. The instructions that come with the JL sub are crap, since when unplugging the ANC plug from the radio you lose your HFL.
I have a thread on the whole thing in the audio forums, but in a nutshell you have to disconnect the rear ANC mic and cut a wire out in the harness over front maplights that powers your front ANC mic.
I noticed that even after doing both of those I got rid of 80% of the nasty feedback, but still have a little left. There is a tutorial online about how to open up the front mic assembly which contains both the front ANC and HFL mics and disable only the front mic itself... I plan on doing that this week myself, will post pics in my original thread when I do.
