The cd player has the following wires yellow red black orange/white blue/white brown the cars wires are as follows black=ground green/white=ignition purple=battery red/black=dimmers pink/white=? this is only going on what i have read on a rover forum, i have tried connecting the cd players yellow to the cars grren/white and red to the cars purple and this is all i know the cd player dosnt power on, would it make a difference if all the others are connected speakers etc.As im gone through bout 3 fuses now with no luck.any help would be great.thanks.

trouble is the car had had the plastic blocks cut of the cables, and left a bit of a mess

Kenwood wiring: Yellow permanent live, red ignition live, black earth, blue white is an output for an electric aerial I'm not sure about the orange white. The brown is for mute if connected to a carphone

Okay, here's what i'd do, i'd go to the head unit's website and verify the diagram. Next, i'd hope they'd have a harness that converts the vehicle's stock harness to a kenwood. If that doesn't work, get a tester to verify what wires(your vehicle), you are connecting to the head unit. One word of advice, don't connect a +12v on any of the wires that don't have a solid color yet, mainly because those wires are more likely accesories or features. At leased not yet. And one more thing, you said you blew about 3 fuses, um install it on to another car to see if it still works. Hope you have it installed.

defo kenwood no contest. yet you assert you have a call....does that propose you have the alternative because of fact of your funds or that's what you may have geared up? in case you like a stereo that can carry out and pump out the sound then alpine are the canines. utilized in maximum award winning installs and sound offs, attempt get one in case you may.

Go to the Kenwood site for customer service contact information. Someone can probably send you a schematic or give you detailed instructions. Otherwise, they can refer you to someone in your area that can help you. Good luck.

if you have got an instruction manual for your cd player there is a wiring diagram in there which tells you what wires do what. on the raido side. if you cant find it let me know and i will fish mine out and tell you!!!
