Question regarding a DVD installation

Grandavi · 08-12-2009, 01:39 AM

I had purchased my 88 MKIII and had it mechanically inspected, appraised etc.. and all the lights, etc.. worked. Then I pulled the CD player out and replaced it with a JVC KDAVX11 (DVD+Video+MP3) (was a Kenwood KAC-6295). Since then.. if I hit the brakes, one brake light goes out, the Climate control number fades to nothing (unless the headlights are on), and the Cruise control will NOT work with the parking lights on. Odd....

So.. I took it back and told them they fudged something up, but no idea what it would be. They told me that my alternator is not putting out properly and that is what is causing the issue.

Okay.. I know the newer ones have "seperate" circuits and you can have one fail that gives you a reduced output. Does the Supra stock alternator do this as well, and would it cause those types of issues?

Anyone know?
