Precautions
# WARNINGS
Ñ To prevent injury or fire, take
the following precautions:
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave
any metallic objects (such as coins or metal
tools) inside the unit.
• Do not watch or fix your eyes on the unit’s
display when you are driving for any extended
period.
• If you experience problems during installation,
consult your KENWOOD dealer.
Ñ Precautions on using this unit
• When you purchase optional accessories,
check with your KENWOOD dealer to make
sure that they work with your model and in
your area.
• You can select language to display menus,
audio file tags, etc. See User Interface Setup (P. 74).
• The Radio Data System or Radio Broadcast
Data System feature won’t work where the
service is not supported by any broadcasting
station.
• The unit may not function properly if the
connectors between the unit and front panel
are dirty. Detach the front panel and clean the
connector with a cotton swab gently, being
careful not to damage the connector.
Ñ Protecting the monitor
• To protect the monitor from damage, do not
operate the monitor using a ball point pen or
similar tool with the sharp tip.
Ñ Cleaning the unit
• If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it
with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth. If
the faceplate is stained badly, wipe the stain
off with a cloth moistened with neutral cleaner,
then wipe it again with a clean soft dry cloth.
NOTE
• Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit may
affect its mechanical parts. Wiping the faceplate
with a hard cloth or using a volatile liquid such
as thinner or alcohol may scratch the surface or
erase screened print.
Ñ Lens fogging
When you turn on the car heater in cold
weather, dew or condensation may form on
the lens in the disc player of the unit. Called
lens fogging, this condensation on the lens
may not allow discs to play. In such 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.
Ñ Precautions on handling discs
• Do not touch the recording surface of the disc.
• Do not stick tape etc. on the disc, or use a disc
with tape stuck on it.
• Do not use disc type accessories.
• Clean from the center of the disc and move
outward.
• When removing discs from this unit, pull them
out horizontally.
• If the disc center hole or outside rim has burrs,
use the disc only after removing the burrs with
a ballpoint pen etc.
• Discs that are not round cannot be used.
• 8-cm (3 inch) discs cannot be used.
• Discs with coloring on the recording surface or
discs that are dirty cannot be used.

Before Use
• This unit can only play the CDs with
.
• This unit may not correctly play discs which do
not have the mark.
• You cannot play a disc that has not been
finalized. (For the finalization process see your
writing software, and your recorder instruction
manual.)
Ñ Acquiring GPS signal
The first time you turn on this unit, you must
wait while the system acquires satellite signals
for the first time. This process could take up
to several minutes. Make sure your vehicle
is outdoors in an open area away from tall
buildings and trees for fastest acquisition.
After the system acquires satellites for the first
time, it will acquire satellites quickly each time
thereafter.
Ñ Caution for Smartphone Users
Simultaneously running multiple applications
on your smartphone while screen sharing places
heavy demand on the microprocessor of the
phone, potentially affecting communication and
performance.
For best results while pairing with your Kenwood
receiver, please be sure to close any unused
applications by performing the following steps:
Android operating system example:
• Turn off WiFi in phone settings menu.
• Close all open applications before connecting
for in-car use. Hold the <Home> key and select
<Close all> to close all open applications.
• Clear RAM Memory of the Android phone
before connecting for in-car use. Hold the
<Home> key and select <Task Manager> then
select <RAM> then select <Clear memory> to
clear current memory processes.

Connection/Installation
Connection/Installation
Before Installation
Before installation of this unit, please note the
following precautions.
# WARNINGS
• 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.
• Do not cut out the fuse from the ignition wire
(red) and the battery wire (yellow). The power
supply must be connected to the wires via
the fuse.
# CAUTION
• Install this unit in the console of your vehicle.
Do not touch the metal part of this unit during
and shortly after the use of the unit. Metal part
such as the heat sink and enclosure become
hot.
NOTE
• Mounting and wiring this product requires
skills and experience. For best safety, leave the
mounting and wiring work to professionals.
• 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 places with too much dust or the
possibility of water splashing.
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the
screws provided. If you use the wrong screws,
you could damage the unit.
• If the power is not turned ON (“ There is an
error in the speaker wiring. Please check the
connections.” is displayed), the speaker wire
may have a short-circuit or touched the chassis
of the vehicle and the protection function may
have been activated. Therefore, the speaker
wire should be checked.
• 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,
such as with battery wires, the battery may be
drained.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the
unit so that the front panel will not hit the lid
when closing and opening.
• 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.
• 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.
• This unit has the cooling fan to decrease the
internal temperature. Do not mount the unit
in a place where the cooling fan of the unit is
blocked. Blocking these openings will inhibit
the cooling of the internal temperature and
result in malfunction.
