DETAILS
This is a brand new, factory boxed Kenwood navigation radio install kit. It appears to have been designed to allow installation of a Kenwood DNX radio (like the DNX7200, for instance) in some Ford, Mercury and, possibly, Lincoln vehicles. The kit is labeled for the 08 (Expedition, we think) but will probably work in other vehicles with the same style radio. (Research is up to you.) It includes the following items. (A more detailed description of the items appears in the ADDITIONAL INFO section.) - Bezel with Ford and Kenwood specific mounting points
- Main power/ground/speaker harness (pictured)
- Navigation system quick-start guide
We are not a Kenwood dealer (or a dealer for any aftermarket radios), so
we know very little about
these and, consequently, cannot answer questions or make any guarantees. We obtained them in a bulk
purchase. We recommend you do research on the internet or
contact Kenwood. This is the answer you will get to any and all
inquiries you make to us about this product.
Some items are not pictured but are described in detail below. The items are in a factory-original box. They have been stored in a warehouse, so the boxes are dirty but everything on the inside is pristine.
We do not guarantee this to work for every application. Obviously this is a pretty elaborate set-up and there could be special considerations in some vehicles. The price is likely a fraction of what a kit like this would run from Kenwood, so you can afford to do a little experimentation.
ADDITIONAL INFO
Bezel:
This is a bezel you would attach to a Kenwood DNX radio in order to adapt it to the Ford dash.
Main power/ground/speaker harness (pictured):
This is quite the harness. It has ten different plugs on it and some sort of interface box! The bag it is in is labeled GSK-K036. On one end, it has plugs for Ford radios like those found in the 2008 Expedition and, on the other it has Kenwood specific plugs. The first, larger Ford plug is for power, ground and speakers. There appear to be spots for 24 pins but not all are filled. The second, medium sized Ford plug has 16 pins. The wires trace to two pairs of RCA plugs. (These are plugs three, four, five and six.) One pair is labeled AV OUT and the other pair is labeled AUX IN. We assume this is
for integrating audio from the rear video system (if so equipped) and,
possibly, connecting the rear audio controller. The seventh, smaller Ford plug is for the Audiophile subwoofer system, if your vehicle happens to be equipped with that. (It may not work with THX systems that were optional in some Lincoln vehicles because we have another version of this install kit that is labeled for THX.) There appear to be spots for 8 pins but they are not all filled. The eighth plug is a white RCA jack that is labeled SUBWOOFER. Most likely for the subwoofer output on the Kenwood radio. The ninth plug is the main Kenwood DNX connector with power, ground, speakers, etc in it. There are spaces in the plug for 22 pins but a few are not filled. The tenth and final plug is what appears to be a secondary DNX power connector. It has 4 pins but only 3 are filled. There is also a large black interface box incorporated into the harness. We assume this handles CAN-BUS translation and, possibly, steering wheel control conversion, but we can't say for sure.
