remote mount of modern detachable faces

Hi all.. did a search through the forums and didnt come up with anything very recent on this.. the last very active thread being 6 years old..

Has anyone tried remote mounting a detachable face from a deck produced in the last couple years? Im wondering if with the newer decks with VFD or OLED displays still handle having a few feet of ribbon cable between the deck and face?

Ive got a few cars from the 70's Im building at the moment and am not interested in hacking up the dash or hiding the deck far away in the glovebox..

thanks,

Brett

I have disected many a faceplate. GET a radio with a remote control. remove the IR out of the faceplate and install in one of the A/C vents (out of sight) the remove the LCD panel and mount inside the rear view mirror

I have done tons of older decks, but have tried only one in the last few years.   The display is not the problem, it appears that the data connections are not liking to work over any distance.  I did not try any shielded cable, but I can tell you that it would not work with a 6 foot extension.  Once I figured out that it had to be the distance, I was able to get it to work at 18 inches.  The unit was an Alpine,

Before you remove the remote sensor out of  a new radio, PAC sells an infrared repeater.  They retail for less than 40 dollars.  mount the eye anywhere you can aim a remote, and mount the transmitter some where that it can see the front of the radio.
