Don't know what the problem could be, but I say you just about got everyone's attention on this subject. I am waiting in line to hear the answer. Good luck.

That is amazing......Thought I was the only one with that kind of luck.

The yellow cord from the LSS-1 is supposed to be switched. The switch should have power run to it. In other words, when it's connected correctly, as per manual, you should have to turn on a switch for the power to reach the LSS-1 unit. If done correctly, your HDS-7 will start showing the down and side views. If not wired correctly, your HDS 7 will show...."No Source". Hope this helps, have your husband go back and check his work according to the manual. I installed my new HDS 8 and LSS-1 myself and I ain't no brain surgeon, but passed all my classes in school with checkmarks in the areas of..."Follows directions well".

Good luck!

I'd like to have someone do a quick study and see how long it takes, at random intervals for each company to answer. It seems like Crappiegirl1 was on the phone for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time trying to get through to HB and after several calls, you know.

If it takes longer from one day to the next, why the need to quantify, after they didn't take care of the issue? I waited 25 minutes on a wednesday last week to get through to HB CS. Did I call on a really busy day?

No they have caller id and knew it was you.

That's why the poor girl couldn't get through. Non-HB owners like you are tying up the lines.

Ha, I wasn't calling in the day it took her hours to get through.
