Check your fuses and make sure one didn't blow. Also, re-check power at the back of the unit to make sure you have 12V on the battery/memory wire(yellow) and the switch power wire(red). The battery wire is always hot and the red should have power once you turn on the key.

since your needing a wiring diagrame i would take it to a mecp professional 12 volt installer to install radio . about as fast as you blink your eyes you can fry the electrical system in your car and cost you 100's or 1000's of dollars buy and rewiring you car to fix it .

the easy thing to do is to go to Best Buy or to www.crutchfield.com and buy the wiring harness for your car and for your radio if you still do not have it along the the dash kit which will include the instructions for you car. Crutchfield is really the way to go to buy the parts you can just call them and they will get you what you need they may even get you a manual. If they do not get you a manual you can always go to panasonics website and download current and old product manuals in PDF formats which can be viewed with free software like adobe PDF viewer or Foxit.

Double check your settings on your radio. Mostly your Fade levels. If that is not the cause you may a chip going out in the head unit. The chip is fairly simple to purchase, remove and replace depending on your soldering skills. Let me know if the fade levels correct it. If it doesn't then I will help you find the replacement chip to order and replace.

im not to familleaer with the unit, but i know the disc has to be burned as data for Kenwoods to pick up.

Hope this helps,

Don

is there a factory amp in the car that you need to hook up the remote turnon lead to, if so its usuallt the power antenna wire


Don

can you check and see if plugged in or if power is getting to cd changer first, if so then check for jammed cds, in no jammed cd then reset system. should see some kind of reset on changer or radio and start over

Get a testlight or DMM and test all of the power wires. It's your only hope.

The rca plugs can short out. Or one of the comparator that is for audio selection. Might can get away with just replacing them

Hi Greg, I'd say you have a bad audio output IC, generally this will take out the fusable resistor that feeds the output stage, you should be able to find a part number on the IC, do a pin out and check between B+ and ground pins with it in circuit and see if you see a short. I don't know if you can find a service manual for it but hopefully you wouldn't need one
