Face plate won't stay on - Kenwood KDC-MP205 CD Player

The acc on power supply to the head unit doesn't have the 12V it needs, it would be a loose wire or a blown fuse

i suggest first reading the directions to make sure you are connecting the face plate correctly. or you could gorilla glue it on just to make sure the connections from the face plate and radio are connected before binding the two

it sound like you dont have it in correctly take the needle plate off and replace the the bobbin case making sure that the bobbin case stays in place all the way to the right while you put the needle plate back on hope this helps

Yes

I had the same problem, the face plates comes off by sticking your finger nail under the little notch under the garmin symbol and pich off the thin face plate, there is a reset button under the face plate in the middle of the right hand side of the edge of the face plate( visible when the face plate is dislodged. I held the button in for a second or two, you can feel the button recess as you push down on it) and the unit resets without disturbing the existing programed route

first check all of your power and ground connections and be sure your battery is good then try the small reset button on the front face. if that does not work you may need a new flexible ribbon cable that you can find on ebay cheap.

hi it sounds like you have a faulty flexi cable

try www.carradiospares.co.uk. they supply spare parts

mark

I suggest some two sided sticky tape. Carpet tape , I thnk it's called.
If you don't plan on ever removing the face again...°¿°

try taken face plate off if detachable then put back on sounds like the face plate clip might be weak and or missing spring inside
but if face plate stays attached just need to clean and put back on right to deck no easy way to say that

The 12 volts lights that illuminate the face plate are burnt inside and should be replace. It's a common failure on any face plate.
