Top 20 Kenwood KVT-512 Car DVD Player Questions & Answers

Blue wire is your amplifier remote or power antena, if you ground it and turn the radio on you burn somethin hopefully j6st a fuse.. You did check the fuses, when in doubt the chassis of the radio is also your ground.

try resetting it

Press and hold the eject button for a few seconds. The screen will lower to reveal the SD slot. Put the card in and follow instructions when prompted. You do not need to leave the card in.

More than likely, you shorted out a wire and blew a fuse. I have worked on cars for 19 years now and have several years under my belt as an electrician - and these things happen. Do yourself a huge favor from now on, spend the extra 25 bucks at best buy for the factory wiring harness adapter. It'll save a lot of headaches for you later on when you change the stereo back to sell the car, or install something else. I learned this the hard way myself. It is well worth doing things right the first time!

Your unit should have 2 plugs in the back...one for the audio and power wires to connect to your factory connections and the other plug is just RCA connections for your video, subs and front speakers. If you have a 4 channel amp and a amp for your subs, you will have to split the 4 channel amp down to 2 and run them to your front RCA connections. Subs will connect to the sub connections. If yours are not listed then you may have to track down a wiring diagram. Hope this helps.

if you dont have power, one of your wires came loose, either pos or neg.

that usually means that the deck is not grounded properly.

A lot of the video screen units are on a lock down mode unless the parking brake is set on your car as a safety feature to make sure you are not watching while driving, there are ways to bi-pass this safety feature but do know it is illegal in some states. Trying YouTube for a way to bi-pass your safety feature sometimes its a lot easier than you would think.

Radio code is specific for each and every car. It is specific like anti theft code. You can get it by providing your VIN# and registration details in authorized dealership. Nobody else can provide you. If anybody can provide you that , then there is no meaning of security for your car.

Hi nickskura,

You system is in "protect mode". The receiver goes into protection mode to keep it from causing damage to itself. Please connect your speaker wire and terminals at the speaker. Ensure the it's not shorting and no bare spots.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Are you absolutely 100% positive that the antenna is properly seated in the connection?
If yes,
Try changing the station settings. Some have "local" and "distant" that may/may not make it come in clearer.
Refer to your manual for radio settings and play with them a bit.

use "KCAR" for the code.

Suerte.

it sounds like you are using an amplifier. if so you are probably using the blue wire (antenna remote turn on) instead of the blue/white wire (amplifier remote turn on) to turn the amplifier on. the power antenna remote wire turns off when leaving tuner mode.

You need to make sure the parking brake lead is hooked up from the radio to the parking brake, and that the parking brake is engaged.
