DNX7100 Double-DIN Install

The stock mach amp only powers the stock Mach subwoofer. If you replace the stock Mach subwoofer and tie it to the stock Mach amp, the results are not good. You want to replace both. It is impossible to find and fit a third party amp into the Stock Mack location so one ends up placing it under the front seat.bobes75 said:

No install kit...it sat right in and used a scrap peice of metal to secure it to the tube bar that is in the back of the center dash. The trim peice came with the stereo and we just modified it to fit correctly.

Do you know where the parking brake sensor/harness is at on the Ford Escape? I tried looking for the answer on the forum but I can't find it. I need to know because I have to hook up one of the car stereo wire to the parking brake sensor.

Just take that wire and ground it to the head unit itself....I just bolted it straight to the back of it 
If you hook that up to your parking brake then you can only watch video while parked. Instead you want it to work all the time so it needs a constant ground. Just bolt it right back to your headunit :cigar:

I finally completed installing the Kenwood DNX5140 head unit, if it was not for this forum, I would probably have to pay a professional to install it. I used the instruction that are on this forum to make all the adjustment so the Kenwood HU would fit. I also had to modified the harness that leads to the Mach amp to elimnated the popping sound when the HU is power on. I didn't upgrade the speakers yet, I will probably do it in the spring. I will try to post some photo and probably take some video of the HU and post it on Youtube. I bid on this HU on Ebay and won it for $490.00, it is brand new. I was lucky to get it for a low price, the average price I've seen for a new one was going for over $650.00, Best Buy and Crutchfield about $900.00
Guys I need real help I installed a Kenwood DNX7100 in my 03 Explorer W/premium sound and there is three things I need desperate help with.
1st The 12v to 5v inverter I have has three wires Black, Blue and White, and a Blue and Red. What do I hook those wires to on the head unit and the plug with the two RCA jacks on it? I have them going to Black-Ground, Blue/White-Blue/White in plug W/RCA jacks and from head, Blue/Red-Ext.Amp.Cont
2nd When I turn the car off then back on the display, displays the Call screen instead of turning to Ipod because that's what the unit was playing when the unit was turned off. I have the Bluetooth module and hooked the brown wire to the Black ground on the wiring harness. But I don't think that's what is causing that and the unit remembers all the sound changes I've made.
3rd my ash lights are no longer working/ I wouldn't thing that anything at the two plugs for the stereo would cause that
PLEASE NEED HELP BAD!!!!!!

Follow this video to the letter, to eliminate the sub amp pop:KC Kid said:
Follow this video how to connect the adaptor with the red/white RCA leads:
2nd - Unless there is a setting in the menu of the radio, that is what the unit must be programmed to do. What does it do when you are on the radio, turn off, and restart (like after going to the store)?
3rd-did you blow the fuse? Do any of the dash lights work? If not, you blew a fuse most probably from a wrong connection.
I just installed 2 stereos, 1 in a Freestyle w/audiophile system and 1 in my Escape with stock radio. The Freestyle required the knowledge these 2 videos offer. Highly recommended tutorials. The Freestyle went from a crazy loud (darn near close to frighteningly loud) to in-audible turn on with the 2 1K Ohm resistors...The 2nd video, I only connected the blue/white on the connector to the blue 'P. Cont' wire from the HU. The resistors go inline between the 2 wires. Easy peazy. :rockon:
