The steering remote control input is for a wired remote control, or a third-party interface that allows you to adapt vehicle steering wheel controls to operate your deck. Your problem is the parking sensor wire. This is supposed to be connected to your vehicle's parking brake switch. It detects when the brake is set, and will prevent a picture from showing when it's not set. The intent is to prevent you from watching movies while the vehicle is in motion. If you can get a good look at the parking brake mechanism, you should be able to see the brake switch. Usually there's a single wire coming from the switch, which is built onto the parking brake mechanism. Connect your parking sensor wire to the wire coming from this switch.

I have a Kenwood KVT-514 CD/DVD player that I just installed, But in getting no sound, The Radio works fine but when i try to you a cd or a dvd there is no audio. I've checked my connections seval times...

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.

My kenwood kvt 729 dvd monitor is not working. The screen remains white with a thin blue line across the screen when powered up. i have reset the unit and checked all wiring. i have audio but no video.is...

Hello,

Thanks for posting your question, I am here to help!

If you hear sound but no video chances are the screen is indeed the issue now here is what you can do.

Check for a replacement screen and put it in yourself.
Take the unit to a factory authorized repair center.
if there are A/V outputs you can hook up a external screen (most models have this)

The screen is bad because of the following issues:

The back light witch is the white background you see is firing (not a back light issue)
There is a bar running across the screen meaning the LCD is damaged or defective.

Now in rare cases you can go in and check and see if the Ribbon cable is dislodged from the main board, do not shoot the messenger but it happens. Other then that I feel you need a new lcd screen for this unit based on what you told me.

I apologize in advance if I was not clear on my answer to you.

Thanks for using fixya.com

Sincerely

Hideaway brain unit on my kenwood KVT-617 doesn't work

My KVT-617 display unit was stolen out of my dash, but they neglected to snag the items under the rear seat: the "brain" hideaway unit, the HD radio receiver, the 10 disc CD changer, the navigation unit, and the powered subwoofer.
Everything was replaced via the insurance except the sub because the new system was not compatible with the old components. Make me an offer on the items you want!

Kenwood kvt m700- playing cds

The M700 is purely a monitor so you will not be able to control play, pause, stop, skip, FF or RWD. I use my DVD player as a CD player and have to use the DVD remote to change tracks.

Kenwood KVT-715 Radio not working

I would be willing to bet you have a 8v regulator circuit failure in hideaway Box. I have seen many of these units where a resistor opens and causes 12v instead of 8v to appear at tuner and a few other IC's. Usually But not always destroys tuner.

KVT 617 CD/DVD "reads" but only audio from tuner

Ok, so I called Crutchfield, where I had purchased the unit, and the guy there said this is a common thing. Believe it or not, it IS the wiring. The guy said the blue wire on the harness needs to be connected to the blue/white wire on the Kenwood unit. Which is weird, since it's usually color-coded. He said the blue wire is a 12-volt amp wire, which works with the tuner, but when you take it off tuner, it kills the 12 volts and so you get no sound.

I haven't fixed it yet to be sure it works, but I thought I'd post this anyway, in case someone else is waiting on this. I'll post again if it doesn't work. :0)
