Kenwood DMX-7017DABS

Featured Replies

Hi all new here not long had my car

Looked at this unit Kenwood DMX-7017DABS

I'd read on this forum was plug and play been to buy today from halfords and they have told me need diff wiring loom for it and an extra wiring loom for parking sensors 

can anybody tell me if they are correct 

thanks 

That's very unlikely to be plug and play.

 

Looking in the manual, it has a kenwood specific connector on the rear and includes a lead for standard ISO connectors. A MK2 Octavia will use a quadlock so you'll need an adaptor to convert between quadlock and ISO. You'll also need to run an extra wire as there is no switched ignition feed, the easiest thing is to run a wire to the fusebox and use a piggyback fuse from a switched ignition feed. If you don't, the radio won't turn on and off with the key.

 

I have no idea if it can display parking sensors but the beeps should work regardless of which headunit you have.

 

Finally, you'll also need some kind of facia adaptor as that's a rectangular headunit and the original Skoda headunits aren't :)
