'Installing the KCA-RC100MR
The KCA-RC100MR connects to the pigtail cable located on the back of the Kenwood KTS-MP400MR or KTS-300MR CD receivers via the
6-meter cable extension. Before you install the KCA-RC100MR, be sure the CD receiver is off and disconnected from the battery.
Optional Junction Box

Determine the best location to mount the KCA-RC100MR. Be sure to measure the distance between the mounting location and the CD, receiver to
make certain the location is in reach of the 6 meter cable. For longer length installations than the supplied cable provides, we recommend you con-
sult your dealer. Also
make sure that the location allows access to the back of the remote and mounting brackets and that the location is free and
clear
of obstructions, wiring, or other systems that could be harmed when mounting the remote.
You can use the template located at the bottom of this instruction sheet to cut ahole and mount the KCA-RC100MR remote. We recommend you
make acopy of the template (at 100%).
Insert the remote and
mounting bracket then tighten the screws from the back.
Use the 6-meter extension cable and connect the remote to the pigtail cable on the back of the receiver.
