Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / December 2005Wiring question
I have a Kenwood KDC-MP8017 deck and cannt find the manual and cannt find one online. Can anyone help me with the wiring. Have a red, yellow,blue, and blue/white, where do I connect them? Thanks for any help blue and blue/white are going to be for remote power to an amp, and power to a power antenna.... do you have a power antenna on your car (goes up and down with radio on or off)? Also, do you have an amplifier hooked up in your car?  Signature- AUSTIN BECKER > I have a Kenwood KDC-MP8017 deck and cannt find the manual and cannt find > one online.

I would cap that one off to where there's no chance of it touching anything. Save the blue with a cap on it, but make sure you leave enough on there so that you can cut the cap off, and splice for when you get an amp. That's when you'll need that blue one.

Yeah, hook that yellow to ground if you don't want your head unit to work. Typically the yellow and red are for constant and switched power. If I remember correctly, the red is switched and yellow is constant. The black wire should be for ground. If it doesn't have a black wire, you should run a ground from the chassis of the radio to a ground. -Bruce > It's been a while since I installed mine, and dont remember what the red > and [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >> >> Have a red, yellow,blue, and blue/white, where do I connect them? >> >> Thanks for any help Gray (If available) - Preamp Output - Connect to amplifier input. Blue - Remote Turn-On - Connect to amplifier or power antenna. Insulate if not used. Black - Ground Red - Accessory - Connect to existing ignition circuit or switched 12 volt source. Yellow - Memory - Connect to battery circuit or constant 12 volt source. Right Front - Gray/Black (-) / Gray (+) Right Rear - Violet/Black (-) / Violet (+) Left Front - White/Black (-) / White (+) Left Rear - Green/Black (-) / Green (+) :-) Great info.

It's 99.9999% likely your deck follows this convention. There should be a black wire for ground as well; if not, make sure the chassis is securely grounded to some metal in the dash. If there's an orange wire, it may be a dashlight connection that will dim the deck display when the dashlights are on. Your speakers leads SHOULD be: grey for front-right, white for front-left, purple for rear-right, and green for rear-left. The black-striped wire of each pair is the negative lead. --- avast!

There should be a matching wire in your dash, but if not, its not required for operation. You might check www.installdr.com and see if they've got the wiring diagram for your car.

Dimmer connection is not required, all it will do is dim the display when your dashlights are on, IF the dimmer provides the appropriate output. Unfortuantely there are many variations on how dashlight dimmers work, and you have to tap in at the right place, or it won't dim the deck, or may even work in reverse (dim the deck when dashlights are bright, brighten the deck when you dim the dashlights). > Orange is Illumination/Dimmer wire so it dims when your headlights are > turned on.
