2009 galant Radio Replaced

[Heated Heavy]

Hello everyone I'm new here. I got an 09 galant and recently replaced the radio with a kenwood and now the lcd screen uptop does not work just shows the time and e com is the message below. Its not connected to anything, what can I do with it?

its a common problem when replacing the radio on the 9g... best bet is to remove the bezel on top and just drag a piece of electrical tape around the whole bottom where it says ecom... then cover it back up with the bezel and looks just like stock.

Did you do that? If so can you post pics? And that sucks. No connectors?

what connectors did u need? i dont have the lcd display... but im sure there is a pic somwhere in the 9g section. It looks clean with the tape but yea it kinda sucks your stuck with it... ill try looking for the pic in a bit.

Isn't the e comm error addressed in the manual? I could have swore I saw it in the radio section of the owner's manual.

it has a connection to the back of the factory radio so I can't connect it to my new radio. I just thought that there might be some kind of connector that could connect the 2.
