The brown is for mute if connected to a carphone|||what u need is a wire harness which will plug into the CD player and it will connect to


rover

Someone can probably send you a schematic or give you detailed instructions. Otherwise, they can refer you to someone in your area that can help you. Good luck.

Next, i'd hope they'd have a harness that converts the vehicle's stock harness to a kenwood. If that doesn't work, get a tester to verify what wires(your vehicle), you are connecting to the head unit. One word of advice, don't connect a +12v on any of the wires that don't have a solid color yet, mainly because those wires are more likely accesories or features. At leased not yet. And one more thing, you said you blew about 3 fuses, um install it on to another car to see if it still works. Hope you have it installed.|||ask him where he works then give him a lift damn decent of you to car share
