or other similar material. To prevent a short  
circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends  
of the unconnected wires or the terminals.  
Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s  
chassis again after installation.  
If the power is not turned ON (“PROTECT”  
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.  
Basic procedure  
Caution  
1 Remove the key from the ignition switch,  
then disconnect the · terminal of the  
car battery.  
2 Install the DAB antenna.  
\ <Installation the DAB antenna  
(KDC-DAB41U only)> (page 34)  
3 Make proper input and output wire  
connections.  
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, as with battery  
wires, the battery may die.  
\ <Wiring connection> (page 32)  
4 Install the unit to your car.  
\ <Installing the unit> (page 33)  
5 Reconnect the · terminal of the car  
battery.  
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.  
6 Reset the unit. (page 3)  
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.  
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.  
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.  
30 English  
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).  
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.

Installation the DAB antenna (KDC-DAB41U only)  
CAUTION  
This film antenna is exclusively for use inside  
Installation overview  
the vehicle.  
Do not install at the following locations:  
DAB antenna F/ G  
– Where it may block driver’s view  
– Where it may obstruct operation of safety  
devices such as air bags  
– On movable glass surface such as rear  
hatch  
Signal strength will decrease at the  
following locations:  
– On IR reflecting glass or where covered  
with mirror type glass film  
– Where it overlaps with genuine radio  
antenna (pattern)  
– Where it overlaps with window heating  
wires  
– At side of vehicle (e.g. door, front quarter  
window)  
– On rear window  
– When glass that blocks radio signals (e.g.  
IR reflecting glass, thermal insulation glass)  
is used  
– Reception may decrease due to noise  
when windshield wiper, air conditioner, or  
motor is turned on.  
– Reception may decrease depending on  
the direction of the broadcast station with  
respect to the vehicle (antenna).  
Be sure to check the installation location  
of film antenna F before installing. Film  
antenna cannot be re-pasted.  
Thoroughly wipe oil and dirt from the  
pasting surface with the included cleaner  
I.  
Antenna cable  
(3.5 m)  
The antenna should be installed on the  
passenger side for safety.  
Use cord clamper H to secure the antenna  
to the pillar at several locations.  
The direction of the antenna film F  
changes depending on whether the film  
antenna F is installed on the right side or  
left side.  
Separate the antenna film F from the  
ceramic line (black part) at the top of the  
front glass by 150 mm.  
Also, place it about 70 mm inside the  
ceramic line at the side end of the front  
glass. (where the earth sheet of the amplifier  
can be pasted on the metal part of the front  
pillar)  
Separate from other antennas by at least  
100 mm.  
Do not paste the amplifier G on the  
ceramic line (black part) around the  
front glass. Because there is not enough  
adhesion.  
Do not bend or damage the film antenna F.  
Warm the pasting surface by turning on the  
heater for example, before applying.  
It may not be possible to install on some  
type of vehicle.  
Check the cable routing of the film antenna  
F and amplifier G before pasting.
