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.  
G Flat head screw (for Nissan cars)........... (×4)  
H Round head screw (for Toyota cars).... (×4)  
Do not use your own screws. Use only the  
screws provided.  
Install this unit in the console of your  
vehicle. Make sure the faceplate will not hit  
the lid of the console (if any) when closing  
and opening.  
After the unit is installed, check whether  
the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on  
the car are working properly.  
Basic procedure  
1
Remove the key from the ignition  
switch, then disconnect the · terminal  
of the car battery.  
2
Make proper input and output wire  
connections.  
\ “Wiring connection” (page 17)  
Install the unit to your car.  
\ “Installing the unit” (page 18)  
Reconnect the · terminal of the car  
battery.  
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle  
is 30° or less.  
If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires  
are not touching to cause a short circuit,  
then replace the old fuse with one that has  
the same rating.

Reset the unit. (page 3)  
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).  
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.  
Warning  
The unit can only be installed in a car with  
a 12 V DC power supply, negative ground.  
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.  
Disconnect the battery's negative terminal  
and make all electrical connections before  
installing the unit.  
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape  
or other similar material. If no connections  
are made, do not let the wire come out  
from the tab to prevent short circuit.  
Be sure to ground this unit to the car's  
chassis again after installation.  
Mounting and wiring this product requires  
skills and experience. For safety's sake, leave  
this work to professionals.  
If you experience problems during  
installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.
