Problems opening my indash panasonic cqvx100u.

the ir sensor works. i got the tv tuner module for this deck and it comes with a remote and also in the tvtuner manual it speeks of a universal remote for the cq-vx100. i cant find it anywhere but im a panasonic tech il see if i can dig anything up.

hi chevymetal. I would agree with LVT and say check to see if the unit preforms better with heat. Regardless, if you bought it in Nov 2008, take it back to get looked at while it is still under warrenty (1 Year)

Also, i am having a HELL of a time finding a remote for the unit. Just spoke with Panasonic Canada and they took a day to investigate with their answer being the manual was a mis print (as it talks about a remote control) and there is none avaliable for the unit.

I have tried a few panasonic remotes on it with no luck... I dont understand fully, because on the front of the unit you can see the IR housing. Id be curious to remove it and see if there is actually a sensor behind it, or if it is blank and they just used the same design from another model, but didnt add the IR option.

I am waiting for a call back from the US customer service regarding the remote, I will write back if I find anything...

Definitly can be due to extreme cold weather. That's why I leave mine open! Try this, when the heat in the car gets warm inside, does it perform better?

Checked Panasonic's website for a remote, but part was not listed. You can call them at National Parts Center at 800-833-9626

Hope that helped you.
