If you have been following my other thread, I have been on a months-long search to find a way to kill my 2012 JGC's speed sensitive volume feature.
Today, I experienced a major leap forward in my search for information. I received a phone call back from Mitsubishi, manufacturer of the 430N RHB media center. They spoke with an engineer at Chrysler and the engineer confirmed that the programming for the speed sensitive volume control is built into the amplifier.
So, my question to anyone out there is this: has anyone either done any aftermarket work where they have circumvented the factory installed amp or replaced it altogether?
My initial plan was to connect an AllGig module to the headunit, which cuts speed info to the HU. This is all well and good, but a source told me that the amp is getting its speed signal via Can BUS wiring harness and not an analog signal from the HU. That means that no matter what I do to the HU, the amp will still modulate the sound.
So, if anyone has dealt with replacing the amp or abandoning the amp, id like to know if you encountered a Can BUS wiring harness at the amp, or was it wired directly from the HU. My suspicion tells me it's the former.
Any help/advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh
