20 Most Recent Kenwood KDC-MP228 CD Player - Page 8 Questions & Answers

Hello shonk_patric,

You'll have to go to Kenwood or to the audio dealer where you purchased the receiver if you do not have the harness that plugs into the back of the radio.

One vehicle specific aftermarket harness for a '96 Tacoma is the Metra 70-1761 available here at Crutchfield.

Hope this helps.

IF YOU DID NOT PRESS THE RESET BUTTON NEX TO THE USB PLUG, DO IT. IT WILL REINITIATE THE DEVICE TO THE FACTORY; YOU WILL HAVE TO ADJUST THE CLOCK.
I DID BECAUSE IT WAS WORKING AT FIRST.( PAGE 3 OF THE MANUAL)

Blue and white wire is power antenna trigger.

Please use the solid blue wire for amplifier turn-on.

When you switch to another source other than AM/FM - that signal drops out (and the antenna lowers)

The MP228 does not have a built in crossover or dedicated mono subwoofer out... so you will need a seperate one, either standalone or built into your amplifier to cancel out frequencies above 80Hz.

There are also generic versions called "inline coil"
you wire in the positive line of each subwoofer that will filter out unwanted high frequencies.

(similar to this pic - but without the board... just the coil (top of board))


Harrison Labs make an F-Mod (available in divverent cutoff frequencies) that is installed in the RCA line.


You can try crutchfield.com for both types - and others.

Blue with white stripe is usually a remote, you probably wont need it. Im not sure about the Brown or plain Blue.

Check the fuse on the rear of the radio, if not check all fuses in fuse box sometimes there is more than one fuse that runs the radio setup. Hope this helps.

buy an adapter that connects in to the cd changer connetor this output is in the back of your cd player(get it at Best Buy)

actually very easy it requires two metal "keys" that are supplied with the stereo at time of purchase the keys slide in to the side of the stereo's housing once the outer beauty ring is removed. if you do not have these keys you can contact the mnanufactuer or go to a stereo shop and they should be able to help takes about 2 minutes to remove the deck. they shouldnt charge you anything.
