Is there any trick to connect the constant power wire?<br> Because I just installed kenwood KVT-911dvd, but somehow once I pull out the key from the car radio resets itself..<br> So I had to adjust the bass and trouble everytime I start the car..<br> It happened with my previous radio too.. I thought the fuse on the yellow wire was burned but it isn't.. SInce it happened with two radios.. I am sure it is not the radio problem..<br> Any ideas???<br> Thanks..
Jordan, do you use a universal harness for MB cars?
Some harnesses comes with a wrong diagram in color <br>
on ACC power wire and Const. power wire especially<br>
if you use a VW harness.<br>
I think it is because of difference of models and years. <br>
Universal ones are too universal.<br>
Why don't you try switching ACC wire and Const wire the other way around.<br>
I believe you will make it in this way.<br>
I had the same experiences in the past with my VW.<br>
If you have an electrical tester, you can check it <br>
in advance. But it's no big deal if you will connect<br>
wrong way as to ACC and Cont. <br>
<br>
Worth giving it a try.<br>

As a fellow 911DVD owner, how long did your install take? Did you mount the controller behind the passenger seat? Got pictures? Did you do the MP3 upgrade? Details, details.<br>
<br>
I found that by running the TV antenna along the underneath portion of my rear windscreen and then down each pillar that I get awesome reception.<br>

If you haven't checked out my install, follow the link below. Welcome to the 911 SLK club.<br>

That is where I got the ideas from..<br> It took about 5 hours to do the installation.. Hiding those huge wires was hardest part.. :)<br> And Actually I didn't mount the controller behind the seat, instead I mounted it under the glove compartment.. There was a plastic piece underneath it. And it is completely hided..<br> For the TV antenna I mounted same as you did, but when I turn the TV on while I drive, I get shaking receiption.. I guess it is because I am in country area.. I'll try in the city later and see how it is..<br> For the speakers I used factory speaker, I connected it with rear speaker wire, and I installed the 2 additional tweeters with front speaker wire and mounted on the top of the dash board..<br> It sounds really good, but still need some more bass...<br> Since my digital camera is broken( somehow it won't take the picture...).. I couldn't take the picture... <br> And can you explain more about mp3 upgrade? did you download the software for it?<br> Your website helped me a lot... <br> Thanks..<br> <br>
I have a friend who lives in Japan and he sent me the CD. I can create an ISO image of the disc if you have a CD burner and you can grab it from my FTP site or I can mail you a copy of the CD.<br> <br> What you do is insert the CD then power the car down. Power the car back up and half way through the 911 boot up it checks the CD/DVD and reads it. It detects that it is a valid update ROM and when the screen comes up you'll see a bunch of Japanese text. It takes 2-4 minutes to complete and then you have to eject it and then shut the car off again. The next time you boot it up, you can now play MP3 CD/R's and ANY Region DVD plus you will have the latest 911DVD Bios. I love this deck cause it reminds me of my Denon DVD deck the way it is so upgradeable.<br> <br> When you are ready for the Sat Radio hack, let me know cause you'll use the same antenna that is on your trunk used for GPS by Teleaid.<br> <br> Gary<br> Scottsdale, AZ
