Installation Procedure
1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from the
ignition and disconnect the - terminal of the
battery.
2. Make the proper input and output wire
connections for each unit.
3. Connect the wire on the wiring harness.
4. Take Connector B on the wiring harness and
connect it to the speaker connector in your vehicle.
5. Take Connector A on the wiring harness and
connect it to the external power connector on your
vehicle.
6. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.
7. Install the unit in your car.
8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.
9. Press the reset button.
If the power is not turned ON (or it is ON, but will be OFF

immediately), the speaker wire may have a short-circuit
or touched the chasis of the vehicle and the protection
function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker
wire should be checked.
If your car is not prepared for this special connection-
system, consult your Kenwood dealer.
Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO) when the
antenna cord has an ISO plug.
Make sure that all wire connections are securely made by
inserting jacks until they lock completely.
If your vehicles ignition does not have an ACC position, or
if the ignition wire is connected to a power source with
constant voltage such as a battery wire, the power will not
be linked with the ignition (i.e., it will not turn on and off
along with the ignition). If you want to link the units power
with the ignition, connect the ignition wire to a power
source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key.
If the fuse blows, first make sure that the wires have not
caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one
with the same rating.
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar
material. To prevent short circuits, also do not remove
the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the
terminals.
Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to
which they correspond. The unit may receive damage or fail
to work if you share the - wires and/or ground them to
any metal part in the car.
After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,
indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so
that the faceplate does not hit the lid when closing and
opening.
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30 or less.

Connecting the ISO Connector
The pin arrangement for the ISO connectors depends on
the type of vehicle you drive. Make sure to make the proper
connections to prevent damage to the unit.
The default connection for the wiring harness is described in
1 below. If the ISO connector pins are set as described in 2
or 3, make the connection as illustrated.
Please be sure to reconnect the cable as shown 2 below to
install this unit to the Volkswagen vehicles etc.
