The black and red power leads need to go to the battery, with fuses within a few inches of the battery to protect the rest of the wiring. So, you need three wires to do what you want. When it senses 12 volts DC, it will perform the function that has been programmed. The yellow lead goes to an ignition switched source. Tapping into other circuits for the radio power can introduce all kinds of noise into your signal, and it's entirely possible that you will blow a fuse, or worse, if you attempt to power it off an existing circuit. Your red and black power lead should come direct from the battery, as this will give you a clean/reliable source of power with sufficient current capacity for the radio to perform properly. The yellow wire is only for the ignition control, it will not power the radio. No, you still need to supply power to the radio using the red and black leads. If you start your ignition before it times out, it resets to normal. This is a hand feature if you want to still use the radio after the ignition is turned off. The other option you can set is "timed power-off" This is where you can tell the radio to turn on with the ignition, and to turn off a set amount of time after the ignition turns off. Ignition sense and power switch - radio turns on/off with ignition, or with power switch. Ignition sense only - turns radio on/off with ignition.

Once you have that done, you need to go into the radio with the programming software (KPG-89) and turn the function on. On my old truck I tapped into an unused sun roof power lead (truck didn't have a sun roof, so the power lead was just taped off in the "A" pillar.) Figuring out exactly what you need to use for your specific vehicle will either take some work with a multimeter, or searching the internet for info on your vehicle. I've always found an unused accessory source to tap into, actually tying into a wire to prevent fuse box issues. Often, people will use fuse taps to do this, but they can cause issues if they are the type that jam in around the existing fuses. This will vary depending on your vehicle. You'll need to locate an ignition switched power source to tap into. You can purchase an "official" Kenwood KCT-46 cable, which is basically a piece of yellow wire with a bullet connector to match the radio and a fuse holder and a 3 amp fuse. There should be a yellow lead coming out of the radio with a bullet type connector on the end, likely capped off with a clear cover.

The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola). The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500.

One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate just purchase it.įor M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios.

Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software.

The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
