According to them it just displays the "cannot detect harness" when doing the hifi recode and so perhaps it is looking for the hifi harness. Will technic's harness solve this?
@ VP Electricity
Yes hifi recoding is not that needed when used with MS-8 since the ms-8 will fix the eq curve but I still need to have if recoded to hifi to be able to get mp3 playback as the dealer told be that mp3 recode falls under the hifi recode meaning I have to first make code to hifi before mp3.

When I had to recode mine, they had to open a PUMA case because my car does not have a MOST bus..which may be the error your dealer is getting. Later I went to a different dealer and they had the ability to recode with no problem. the option showed right in ISTA/P....just look for Retrofits-->Alpine HiFi
Regarding VP's comment. Currently I am still struggling to get back the SQ with the HiFi signal that I once had with the Base signal. I think the potential is there, but from what I hear, a speaker level signal will be better at noise rejection, etc.
