Could someone please tell me if the amp trigger wire for a Kenwood KVT-719DVD is pink/black, or blue/white??

I just spend three days installing a new system in my car and I can't find the install manual for the head unit (installed it last year).

Thanks!

SWEET!!!

I just spent three days doing a very careful/in depth install of CDT components, Image Dynamics sub and a Helix amp in my 325 and I was pretty bummed when I went to power it up for the first time tonight and.... nothing! Everything I could find last night on line pointed towards the pink/black so that's what I went with.

I have a DDX512 in another car of mine and found the install manual for that. That uses the blue/white so that got me thinking I made a mistake.

Thanks a lot for the help! I can't wait to get this thing done!

Just went outside and checked it out. Don't see a blue/white wire. I have a solid blue, PURPLE / white, brown (solid brown I think) and the pink/black.

Any ideas?

Is the trigger signal just 12 volts?

Thanks

LOL new batteries in the flashlight!

Couldn't find the install manual on their site - but I trust you are both correct.

Back out I go!

maybe you pulled the wire out of the terminal/connector upon removal? i may have a power harness for one at work, can check position of remote lead in connector tomorrow.

Alright I found it and it's working! I'll have to make the gain adjustments tomorrow. Couldn't turn it up too much (everything is set to the factory min. positions so, it doesn't go that loud right now anyway)

Can't wait to get it dialed in tomorrow!

Thanks!
