Kenwood KDC-MP205 CD Player - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

In order to access the AUX option the stereo needs to be in Standby mode. To do this just hit the SRC or source button until you reach the Standby option. Now hit the menu button and scroll up or down until you reach the AUX on/off option and just turn it on. Hope you find this helpful.

you may have a dirty laser lens. if you know how to remove the deck, you can clean the lens with rubbing alcohol and a qtip. you need to be very gentle cleaning the lens.

Try Kenwood's website to see if at installation manual is available.

Hi there,Sometimes, car owners inadvertently clean the displays with harsh chemicals, which can react with the facia plastic.The only method I can think of in this case, would be to try a light abrasive plastic polish such as Meguiar's Plastix or similar. These creams are designed to remove light scratches on plastics (such as headlight lenses etc), but in your case, we are trying to polish the display back to a satisfactory optical finish.Good luck.

Unless you turned it off, Kenwood radios automatically have the loud turned on when the radio is first powered up.

Speaker wires are shorted somewhere.

Kenwood has the manuals for most of their products here: http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Support/Car_Entertainment_Owners_Manuals/. The direct link to the manual for the KDC-MP205 is http://www.kenwoodusa.com/UserFiles/File/Global/Consumer/Manuals/KDC-MP2035.pdf .

I hope this helps.

You can get a new face at pacparts.com.

The blinking red light is to let thieves know the face is not on the radio and is not worth stealing. the blinking red light doesn't draw enough power to drain your battery.

Try pacparts.com.

if you no longer have any warranty consider buying a new unit as repair would be uneconomical.

There should be a wiring diagram that came with the head unit. Check that and match up the colors to the on in the car. Assuming that you have the right wire harness that matches your car. There is normally a pattern that you'll catch on to when your wiring it. you should have 4 pairs of wire for the speakers, 1 ground, 1 hot, 1 for power ant., and an aux, also a clock, and maybe an ignition.

Unless there is something wrong with the head unit, there must be a shorted connection. Try doing the same with no speakers plugged in and see if the protection breaker trips.

If it does not, then one of your speaker cables is shorted. Try installing the cables one by one, and test it, to see which one is at fault. Other remote possibility, is that one of the speakers is blown.

Hope this helps (remember to rate and comment this answer).
