Sorry that car (and harness) is long gone.

This was a project/thread from 5-6 years ago. I DID complete it, built a harness with all the mating plugs so no splicing, and ran it for years through a helix DSP/amp. But that was a couple cars, dozens of projects, and too long ago for me to remember the details!

Yeah, I have a Honda Ridgeline that has ANC as well, its primary purpose seems to be to counteract the odd 3 cylinder thump that happens when the 6 cylinder does cylinder deactivation. Its pretty transparent in use. Sounds like a similar implementation to your Jeep.

Ah, ok. Sounds like they very well might calibrate it differently depending on if there are rear passengers. I havent played with the setting while people are in the back yet. Will have to look at that next time someone is back there.

Ive only had ANC for one day! Haha. So no, I dont have a feel for it at all, just that toggling it on and off all day as I drove around I did notice it, but it was subtle....and I was looking for it. Thats a big reason why I measured it, need to rule out placebo when an effect is based...

My car's software finally updated last night and I see I got the ANR feature....as a sound guy I had to look into this further. Took a drive and listened. It can be hard to hear if you dont know what to look for, plus it REALLY depends on the road surface. It is the low frequency tire rumble...

I sold mine on Tred.com a couple months ago, pretty effective and painless for me at least.

Same happened to me. Don't know when or where the rodents got to it but I had a couple of woodsy trips prior so I think perhaps one of those times. The car normally lives in my garage and the weather here is pretty temperate so I didn't notice the symptoms (no heat/AC) for an indefinite...

Well said, nuance is important. Businesses everywhere are having to figure out where the line is between staying in/going out of business, protecting employees health, keeping people employed (or not), etc...and its not easy. A lot of difficult decisions being made this week.

Im using a Helix DSP and I have the front 3 sets of channels summed to give me all of the audio that it should have. As I recall (its been years since I did this so I may be mis-remembering) at first I only was only using one set of channels (might have been the rear door channels?) and still...

The car has a regular 12V system so power connections for aftermarket audio is not a problem. If you are just adding a sub/amp its standard car audio stuff. Things only get a little tricky if you go full replacement.....its necessary to get a full range signal from the factory head unit that...

Yeah, interesting. Looks like there may be more than one possible cause of the yellowing. For those of us who had the speculated "incomplete adhesive curing" the UV light seems to be an effective solution. But if the cause is something akin to "weather exposure" degradation (or a lack of...

yes, the way my box was set up the screen directly under the light is getting exposed at a 90 degree angle. While the screen towards the edge of the box I used as a shield would be exposed at about a 45 degree angle. I though there might be some trouble from this (with the 45 degree portions...

Probably around 4-6 hours per area of the screen, I was experimenting so I did not just set it and leave it, I ran it for a couple hours, checked on it, moved it to the other part of the screen, a couple hours, found it was working but not complete. Came back the next day and did it some more...

Before: After Total success. Used the light suggested in the original post. Had a 7” x 9” wide box laying around (screen is 9" wide), cut a hole in the back for the light to shine through and taped the light to the back with packing tape. Originally I had the light inside the box but...
