Accessories/ Installation Procedure
•
•
•
•
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.
