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.

interesting remote, how much did it cost

Looks good.

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

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

I payed $24.95, it was on the outlet store at crutchfield

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.

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...

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.

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.

Can you go through your presets from it?

Works for me, hold down the center button for 2+ seconds.

hmm, would try that if i didn't kill my unit yesterday. ill try it when i get a new/fixed one. thanks.

vblue - you can change the orientation of the controls... so if you have it on the right side, the controls will work as expected.

see pic.

is there any remote control than allows scrolling through presets?

that is the number one feature I miss. I am so used to having my XM remote in my hand with the ability to jump to whatever station I want.

Does this work for you? I have tried that a hundred times with no luck.

I just ordered it today. I will let you know if I am successful. I saw that passage in the manual and wanted to make sure you knew.

Yea I was aware, thanks anyway. I believe it has to be a Sony deck for that to work.

no, that doesn't work tried it a hundred times.
