I've got a JVC KD-S641 CD/Radio. I think it's an older model, but it is unused.
The instructions say " Precautions for ISO connector wiring . . . because this unit has highpower amplifier either connect yellow backup lead to car's live terminal rated 10a OR extend the yellow wire to + terminal of battery". It also says check the pin assignments as vehicles vary.
The manual with it is dated 2002.
So I'm wondering if the instructions are from a time when when connections were less standardised ?
Wondering if perhaps in more modern vehicles:
A) the 10a requirement would be standard in loom ( or, in 2022 will I really have to run a separate wire to battery! )
B) the pin assignments would be standardised so the supplied harness would be ok to just plugNplay.
(MH is 2008)
Only reason for concern is that instructions also say the unit might be damaged if connected incorrectly.
So should I:
A) panic
B) just plug it in with crossed fingers
C) sell the MH and get one with empty ashtray
D) post it on MHF forum and plead for help with big round puppy eyes
