Installation/Connection

This section is for the professional installer.
For safety’s sake, leave wiring and mounting to professionals. Consult the car audio dealer.

WARNING

  • The unit can only be used with a 12 V DC power supply, negative ground.
  • Disconnect the battery’s negative terminal before wiring and mounting.
  • Do not connect Battery wire (yellow) and Ignition wire (red) to the car chassis or Ground wire (black) to prevent a short circuit.
  • To prevent short circuit:
    • Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape.
    • Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.
    • Secure the wires with cable clamps and wrap vinyl tape around the wires that comes into contact with metal parts to protect the wires.

CAUTION

  • Install this unit in the console of your vehicle. Do not touch the metal parts of this unit during and shortly after use of the unit. Metal parts such as the heat sink and enclosure become hot.
  • Do not connect the wires of speakers to the car chassis or Ground wire (black), or connect them in parallel.
  • Mount the unit at an angle of less than 30º.
  • If your vehicle wiring harness does not have the ignition terminal, connect Ignition wire (red) to the terminal on the vehicle’s fuse box which provides 12 V DC power supply and is turned on and off by the ignition key.
  • Keep all cables away from heat dissipate metal parts.
  • After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
  • If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching car’s chassis, then replace the old fuse with one that has the same rating.
Basic procedure
  1. Remove the key from the ignition switch, then disconnect the terminal of the car battery.
  2. Install the DAB antenna. See “Installing the DAB antenna” on page 4.
  3. Connect the wires properly. See “Wiring connection” on page 3.
  4. Install the unit to your car. See the following “Installing the unit (in-dash mounting)”.
  5. Connect the terminal of the car battery.

Installing the DAB antenna

Connect the DAB antenna to the DAB antenna jack. (Page 3)

  • DAB antenna is supplied for KDC-BT950DAB/ KDC-BT450DAB/ KMM-BT407DAB. For details, see the following pages.
  • For KMM-DAB307, you need to purchase the DAB antenna separately.
    For details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the DAB antenna.

CAUTION

• The film antenna (F) is exclusively for use inside the vehicle.
• Do not install at the following locations:
– where it may block the driver’s view.
– where it may obstruct the operation of safety devices such as air bags.
– on movable glass surfaces such as the rear hatch.
– at side of vehicle (e.g. door, front quarter window).
– on rear window.
• Signal strength will weaken when installed at the following locations:
– on IR reflecting glass or locations covered with mirror type glass film.
– where it overlaps with genuine radio antenna (pattern).
– where it overlaps with window heating wires.
– on glass that blocks radio signals (e.g. IR reflecting glass, thermal insulation glass).
• Poor reception may occur:
– due to noise when windscreen wiper, air conditioner, or motor is turned on.
– depending on the direction of the broadcast station with respect to the vehicle (antenna).
• Thoroughly wipe oil and dirt from the pasting surface with the supplied cleaner (I).
• Do not bend or damage the film antenna (F).
• It may not be possible to install on certain vehicles.
• Check the cable routing of the film antenna (F) and amplifier unit (G) before pasting.
• Do not apply any glass cleaner after pasting the film antenna (F).

Part list (supplied)

(F) Film antenna (×1)
(G) Amplifier unit (cable with booster, 3.5 m) (×1)
(H) Cable clamper (×3)
(I) Cleaner (×1)

Determine the antenna installation position

  • The direction of the film antenna (F) changes depending on whether the film antenna (F) is installed on the right side or left side.
  • Be sure to check the installation location of film antenna (F) before installing. Film antenna cannot be re-pasted.
  • Separate from other antennas by at least 100 mm.
  • Do not paste the amplifier unit (G) on the ceramic line (black part) around the front glass. Because there is not enough adhesion.

* Paste the earth sheet of the amplifier unit (G) on the metal part of the front pillar.

CAUTION

When installing the antenna cable inside the front pillar with the air bag installed

  • The front pillar cover is secured with a special clip which may need to be replaced when it is removed. Contact your vehicle dealer for details on removing the front pillar cover and availability of replacement parts.
  • Install the amplifier unit (G) above the air bag so that it does not obstruct the operation of the air bag.

Installation overview
The antenna should be installed on the passenger side for safety.

Antenna installation
  1. Remove the front pillar cover of your car.
  2. Clean the windscreen with the supplied cleaner (I).
    – Wait until the glass surface is completely dry before proceeding.
    – Warm the surface of the windscreen with defroster if it is cold (during winter).
  3. Remove the separator (tag 1) of film antenna (F) horizontally and paste the antenna on the windscreen.
    Do not touch the pasting surface (adhesive side) of the film antenna (F).
  4. Rub the film antenna gently onto the windscreen in the direction of the arrow shown to allow it to stick firmly.
  5. Remove the separator (tag 2) of film antenna (F) vertically.
  6. Set the position of the protrusion of the amplifier unit (G) with the ▼ mark on the film antenna (F) and paste.
    Do not touch the lead terminal or the pasting surface (adhesive side) of the amplifier unit (G).
    • When installing the antenna on the right side
    • When installing the antenna on the left side
  7. Remove the film covering the earth sheet and paste the earth sheet on the metal part of the vehicle.
    Provide sufficient leeway for the earth sheet so that it does not interfere with the interior parts (front pillar cover). Also take care that the interior parts do not interfere with the amplifier unit (G).
  8. Wire the antenna cables.
    Use cable clamper (H) to secure the antenna to the pillar at several positions.
  9. Attach the front pillar cover back to its original position.
    Be sure not to damage the earth sheet and amplifier unit (G) when covering.
  10. Connect the amplifier unit (G) to the DAB antenna jack on the rear of the unit.

Digital Radio

About DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)
DAB is one of the digital radio broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver digital quality sound without any annoying interference or signal distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures and data. In contrast to FM broadcast, where each program is transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several programs (called “services”) to form one
“ensemble.”
The “primary component” (main radio station) is sometimes accompanied by a “secondary component” which can contain extra programs or other information.

Preparation:

  1. Connect the DAB antenna (supplied/separately purchased) to the DAB antenna jack on the rear of the unit.
  2. Press SRC repeatedly to select DIGITAL AUDIO.
  3. Press and hold (LIST UPDATE) to start the Service List update. “UPDATED” appears when update completes.
