To prevent injury or fire, take the
following precautions:
• Insert the unit all the way in until it is fully locked
in place. Otherwise it may fall out of place when
jolted.
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 open the top or bottom covers of the unit.
• When extending the ignition, battery, or ground
wires, make sure to use automotive-grade wires
or other wires with a 0.75mm² (AWG18) or more
to prevent wire deterioration and damage to the
wire coating.
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any
metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools)
inside the unit.
• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct
sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid
places with too much dust or the possibility of
water splashing.
• Do not set the removed faceplate or the faceplate
case in areas exposed to direct sunlight, excessive
heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much
dust or the possibility of water splashing.
• If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange smells,
turn off the power immediately and consult your
Kenwood dealer.
• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the
terminals of the unit or faceplate with your
fingers.
• Make sure not to get your fingers caught between
the faceplate and the unit.
• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock,
as it is a piece of precision equipment.
• Be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to
strong shock.
The unit may break or crack because it contains
glass parts.
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with
the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong
rating may cause your unit to malfunction.
• To prevent a short circuit when replacing a fuse,
first disconnect the wiring harness.
• Do not place any object between the faceplate
and the unit.
• Do not apply excessive force to the moving
faceplate. Doing so will cause damage or
malfunction.
• Do not apply excessive force to the open
faceplate or place objects on it. Doing so will
cause damage or breakdown.

Installation Procedure
1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from
the ignition and disconnect the - terminal of
the battery.
1
2. Make the proper input and output wire
connections for each unit.
3. Connect the wire on the wiring harness.
..........1
4. Take Connector B on the wiring harness and
connect it to the speaker connector in your
vehicle.
2
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.
..........2
7. Install the unit in your car.
8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.
3
9. Turn the vehicle’s ignition key on and open the
panel.
10.Press the [5] button and the reset button.
..........1
•
If your car is not prepared for this special connection-
system, consult your Kenwood dealer.
4
•
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.
..........2
•
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.

3 Reattach the Backpanel.
Screw (M4X8)
(commercially available)
•
Never insert the panel lock screws in any other screw
holes than the one specified. If you insert them in
another hole, it will contract and may cause damage to
the mechanical parts inside the unit.
•
Make sure that the unit is installed securely in place. If
the unit is unstable, it may malfunction (for example, the
sound may skip).
•
•
To attach this unit, make sure the front of the control
panel faces you and fit it into the mounting sleeve by
pressing the four corners of the hard rubber frame at the
same time.
Do not apply strong pressure to other sections than the
corners; otherwise troubles such as the impossibility of
opening or closing the panel may result.
The hollow at the center of the rubber frame is designed
to make it easier to remove discs.
If you do not want the hollow to be visible, mount the
rubber frame in the opposite direction (with the flat side
at the top instead of the bottom).
