svtjackal Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I got the mounting kit and the sony RM-X4S remote today from crutchfield so I finished the install of the f-90 bt on my Lightning here are some pics and a small vid, I still don't know what functions I can control with the remote but so far I tried is volume up/down change source AM to FM to ipod and vice versa, also press a button and a prompt comes on the stereo with the letters ATT (don't know what that is), change CD tracks or seek up and down and change tracks on the ipod. also the hardware bypass works flawlessly, thanks AVIC411 for the help on the install.

CamelTowing Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 ATT = Attenuate. Does it actually mute the radio when this is up on the screen? Please report back when you get a hang of the remote and what all it controls properly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Please report back when you get a hang of the remote and what all it controls properly it doesn't mute sound all the way it just lowers it down, it was late when I was done, I'll play with it tomorrow and report back Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VBLUE42 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I've posted about this previously. It controls: volume, track forward and reverse, band select, volume attenuation by 20%, source select and power off. The only problem with this remote is that the track and volume controls are arranged as if the remote will be mounted to the left of the steering column. This means these controls are reversed. Instead of turning the control to the right for up you have to turn it to the left. It takes a little getting use to. Mine is mounted on the center console so it took me a while to train myself to think reversed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kerosene Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I've posted about this previously. It controls: volume, track forward and reverse, band select, volume attenuation by 20%, source select and power off. blah, not worth the $ just for that... I think since we spend so much for this unit with the TOUCHSCREEN portion, we should use it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think since we spend so much for this unit with the TOUCHSCREEN portion, we should use it... it was for me. my dash comes out far on my nissan frontier so its hard to adjust the volume. you have to do little turns at a time. also i hated having to hold in the buttons to get seek to work instead of just a one hop radio station jump. now i can easily do it with a turn on the wheel. and att is nice if you don't want to hold down the mute button to get quick lower sound or accidentally activate voice activation. plus i can rest my arm on my leg while navigation stations instead of having to reach over to the head unit. note: power button doesn't work (kind of expected though since you can't power off the unit from the base). there is a working free shipping code on retailmenot.com for crutchfield if anyone is planning on buying.

jrdiesel Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I haven't seen one of those remotes in years. I always hated putting them in, since the customers always wanted them in ridiculous places. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Can you go through your presets from it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 note: power button doesn't work (kind of expected though since you can't power off the unit from the base) Works for me, hold down the center button for 2+ seconds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
