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 cable connections for each unit.
3. Connect the cable 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. Slide the Manual open switch for as many times as you have
preset in the Manual Open Switch Setting in the menu (see p.34)
to make the faceplate control panel appear.
• 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 cable connections are securely made by
inserting jacks until they lock completely.
• If your vehicle's ignition does not have an ACC position, or if
the ignition cable is connected to a power source with constant
voltage such as a battery cable, 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 unit's power with the ignition,
connect the ignition cable to a power source that can be turned
on and off with the ignition key.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure that the cables have not
caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with
the same rating.
• Do not let unconnected cables or terminals touch metal on the
car or anything else conducting electricity. To prevent short
circuits, also do not remove the caps on the ends of the
unconnected cables or the terminals.
• Connect the speaker cables correctly to the terminals to which
they correspond. The unit may receive damage or fail to work if
you share the - cables and/or ground them to any metal part in
the car.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,
2CAUTION
indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
• Insulate unconnected cables with vinyl tape or other similar
material.
• Some disc changers need conversion cables for connection.
See the section on "Safety Precautions" for details.
• 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.
