If your using the old Quickmount remote kit. It uses a standard 25 pin RS-232 computer cable.

it appears to use some sort of ribbon cable. def not a rs-232 connector.
is this a standard ribbon from a computer?
any help is appreciated. thanks paul

Thats the not too common motorola remote kit. I don't have a part # readily available, but it was still available as of a year ago. Surprised me...

Scratch that, its a 3080681b01 30 conductor ribbon cable was $48 last year.

thanks for that info.
i am deciding whether to use the remote kits or sell them.

i did need the info on the cable and the price of a new one is more than i gave for the radio..lol

If you could find the ends, you could probably make one, it was nothing fancy. Ide cables I think are 40 cond. Maybe a fdd cable would have the ends? They are not as wide as an ide cable.
