help needed with Kenwood 7100 Nav install


Recommended Posts

UPDATE:

Here's what I've done so far (in addition to hooking up the speaker wires):

from the diagrams I've linked below...

Kenwood wire A goes to Becker wire Socket A #7

Kenwood wire B goes to Becker wire Socket A #4

Kenwood wire C goes to Becker wire Socket A #8

When I plug it in, I get no display at all. I do have power because the upside down triangle light is blinking and hitting eject causes the screen to flip up. When I push the system reset button or flip the screen up, I can notice the back light change somewhat, but still no display.

What could cause there to be no display at all? Have I missed a step?

Thanks in advance for any help... josh

Older post before I wired everything up...

looking at the Kenwood wiring diagram, I understand the speaker wiring part, but I'm a little confused on the power wiring. I've scanned the Kenwood wiring diagram - it's at http://www.jother.com/kenwood/kenwood.jpg

The wires I'm not sure about are A, B and C. I read in another post where they mention that the undocumented Bose wire should go to the blue Kenwood wire (I'm assuming that's the "Motor antenna control wire" on the Kenwood diagram, correct?)

I've also posted the Becker wiring diagram from the owners manual. It's available at http://www.jother.com/kenwood/becker.jpg

If anyone can help with Kenwood wires A,B and C, that would be much appreciated.

thanks... josh
