Features of the Wired DCI
Small adapter unit - about 1.5" x 2", easily fits behind or beside head unit. | |
Provides 9 control functions using the 5 stock dash switches. See functions chart below. | |
No complicated programming required - just set your head unit brand on the dip switches and it's ready to operate. | |
No 'delay' in button response - unlike some other devices on the market, the DCI functions operate immediately when the dash button is pressed. | |
Auto-repeat function built-in - press and hold VOLUME UP, and the volume will increase rapidly as the command is repeated. Auto-repeat works on other functions too, meaning features like 'track fast-forward' will work if you press and hold the NEXT TRACK button combo, just like they do with the factory remote control. | |
Optional Speed Controlled Volume function - An exclusive Modifry Products feature enabled by connecting one additional wire to the S2000's speedometer circuit. The DCI will then automatically raise and lower the volume based on vehicle speed. SCV details here. | |
Wired Mute Output (optional) - special feature allows you to use a dedicated wire to activate the head unit's ATT or Cell Phone function. Most head units with this feature will pause CD playback during mute instead of just lowering the volume which many owners like (including me). Most Alpine head units have this feature. Details here. |
