You might want to make sure you are getting power to the red wire. The radio will accept and eject cd's if power is going to the yellow wire only. Both wires have to have 12v going to them before the radio will work properly.

Protect message comes on and
Hi there,
Firstly, are you able to remove the head unit from your dash?
Usually, when PROTECT appears, the unit has detected a short circuit (or overload) somewhere, and has shut down to prevent damage.
Problems in the wiring (e.g. loom or speaker wire) can often cause this condition.
I recommend you have someone remove the head and:
- check the fuse in the back of the head unit.
- disconnect one speaker wire, then turn unit on to see if Protect message comes up.
- do this with all speaker wires, until the unit operates without going into Protect mode.
If the above does not solve the problem, then you may need to decide whether repair is viable, or to replace.

Just plug the cord into the front of the cd player where it says "AUX" and then plug the other end of the cord into the headphone / line out jack on any ipod or mp3 player then select "AUX" instead of CD and the sound will come through the system

The Kenwood radio will generally give a "PROTECT" error if the amp or receiver is being overloaded. This may mean that some of your wiring may have gotten frayed, one of your speakers isn't putting out the right voltage, or the receiver has decided to go bad. Make sure all of your connections in the back of the radio are solid and not frayed. If that's not the problem, try running each of the speakers one at a time. If one causes the radio to go into protect mode, that's your culprit.
If neither of these are the issue and the radio decides to stay in "protect" mode, your receiver may have seen better days and may need a replacement.

Wiring is correct, but the cd player itself will
First thing to do is check whether there is power getting to the unit. First unplug the unit and use a test light to ensure the unit is getting 12v on both accessory and constant, if the power is not coming through either of these the unit will not work. If there is no power on one of these wires proceed to check both your audio fuses both in-car and under bonnet if blown replace and check unit. If unit still not working check the fuse in the rear of the unit. If the unit still fails to turn on return it to the place of purchase and get it checked.
Kind Regards

How do I get the SW control back ?
Hold down the AM- button for a few seconds and the sub option will turn on and will be part of your equalizer and you can now change some extra settings on the sub to.
