2CAUTION  
To prevent damage to the machine, take  
the following precautions:  
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V  
DC power supply.  
• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct  
sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid

fingers.  
• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock,  
as it is a piece of precision equipment.  
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with  
the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong

a situation, remove the disc and wait for the  
condensation to evaporate. If the unit still does  
not operate normally after a while, consult your  
Kenwood dealer.  
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws  
provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could  
damage the unit.

Accessories/ Installation Procedure  
Accessories  
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.  
1
..........1  
If your car’s ignition does not have an ACC position,  
connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be  
turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect  
the ignition wire to a power source with a constant  
voltage supply, as with battery wires, the battery may die.  
If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so  
that the faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and  
opening.  
2
..........2  
3
If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching  
to cause 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 a short circuit, 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 be damaged or fail  
to work if you share the - wires or ground them to any  
metal part in the car.  
When only two speakers are being connected to the  
system, connect the connectors either to both the front  
output terminals or to both the rear output terminals  
(do not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect  
the + connector of the left speaker to a front output  
terminal, do not connect the - connector to a rear  
output terminal.  
..........4  
..........4

Installation Procedure  
After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.  
1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from  
the ignition and disconnect the - battery.  
2. Make the proper input and output wire  
connections for each unit.  
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.  
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the  
following order: ground, battery, ignition.  
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the  
unit.  
6. Install the unit in your car.  
7. Reconnect the - battery.  
8. Press the reset button.  
2WARNING  
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire  
(yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short  
circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those  
wires to the power source running through the fuse box.

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 vehicle’s 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  
unit’s 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.  
Installation Procedure  
1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from  
the ignition and disconnect the - terminal of  
the battery.  
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.  
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.
