Unused Mkiia rio car sled and remote - 01/03/2003 12:08
Ok, here is the deal. 2 weeks ago my rio player was stolen from my car, but the idiots left the sled and the remote. I then bought another rio player that was only used for home use, so I dont need the new sled that came with that unit, or the remote. I would like to get some of my money back that it cost me to replace my player. Thought I'd try here before ebay. I'd like $100 for the unused sled and $20 for the remote. Let me know if anyone is interested. Also i request that you post your s/n for your player if you want to buy the sled, since I know that thieves out there that have stolen just the player may be looking for a sled.

Is it the Rio remote or the Kenwood remote?

It is a Rio branded remote, not kenwood

BTW in case you're unsure.
$100 for a new sled [with harness] is a good price.
They cost over that new from the SB US store and you can't get them now even if you had the $$.
And while there are bare sleds coming, they won't include harnesses and the cost of a harness alone is not cheap as you have to buy minimum qtys of the pins [and possibly wait weeks for them to be ordere din] and a sled connector and then make up the harness yourself.
All up, if you're not so handy with a crimping and related tools and you think you might *ever* need a second sled - even if only for the harness on it, this is probably a good deal.
Seller doesn't say whether its a Mark 2A or Mark 2 sled, but since the remote was a Rio branded one, I'd assume the former (Mark2A), so the sled itself is not as sturdy as the original Stainless steel sled [but certainly still good enough for in-car use].
The harness will be compatible with either model of Mark 2 or Mark2A (Rio car).
BTW: I don't have any involvement with this sale, merely adding my 2 cents worth.
