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 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.
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.
1 (Default setting) The A-7 pin (red) of the vehicle’s
ISO connector is linked with the ignition, and
the A-4 pin (yellow) is connected to the constant
power supply.

power supply (or both the A-7 (red) and A-4
(yellow) pins are connected to the constant
power supply).

When the connection is made as in 3 above, the unit’s
power will not be linked to the ignition key. For that
reason, always make sure to turn off the unit’s power
when the ignition is turned off.
To link the unit’s power to the ignition, connect the
ignition cable (ACC...red) to a power source that can be
turned on and off with the ignition key.
