Frequently Asked Questions - KCA-2020AVM KENWOOD

What is the Kenwood KCA-2020AVM?

The KCA-2020AVM is a 360° multi-view camera system that uses four cameras (front, rear, left, right) to provide a bird's-eye view of the vehicle surroundings, assisting with parking and low-speed maneuvering.

How do I install the side cameras?

Side cameras must be installed inside the side mirror housings. Minimum space required is 32 x 14 mm. Drill a 22 mm hole, insert the camera, and tighten the lock nut. Ensure the arrow on the camera points upward and 90° toward the vehicle direction.

Does this system work with any Kenwood receiver?

It is compatible with specific Kenwood receivers such as DMX9720XS, DMX9021S, DDX920WDABS, and others (see manual). It is not compatible with MY19 DDX9019S or DNX series, and cannot be used together with the DRV-N520 dashcam.

How do I calibrate the 360° camera?

Calibration can be automatic or manual. First, select your car model, then run auto calibration. If it fails, use manual calibration to adjust six feature points on each camera view to match the black corners of the calibration pattern.

What should I do if the image is blurry?

Clean the camera lens with water and a soft cloth. Remove any dirt, mud, water droplets, or snow. Also check if the camera protector is still on.

Can I use the 360° camera at high speeds?

No, the system deactivates when the vehicle speed exceeds 15 ± 5 km/h. However, you can force activation by pressing the CAM button on the receiver.

How do I maintain the cameras?

Clean the cameras gently with a soft cloth moistened with water. Do not use high-pressure water or automatic car washes, as they may damage the cameras. Keep the lens free from dirt and scratches.

What if the guide lines are misaligned?

Misalignment usually occurs if the camera position has changed due to impact or if the vehicle is tilted (heavy load, tire puncture). Check the camera mounting and recalibrate the system. If the issue persists, have your dealer inspect the vehicle.

Is the 360° camera waterproof?

Yes, the cameras have an IP69K waterproof rating, meaning they are protected against high-pressure water jets and steam cleaning. However, avoid directing high-pressure water directly at the camera to prevent damage.

Do I need a calibration sheet?

A calibration sheet is recommended for easier calibration, but it is optional. You can create your own using the specifications in the manual (black/white pattern, matte surface). The calibration area must meet specific size and lighting requirements.

Objects may not be detected from some angles. The objects underneath the bumper or on the ground may not be detected when they are displayed at front or rear viewing angle (Grey parts in oblique lines).

- The images from four cameras are in color difference under versified light source due to light incoming angle discrepancies, which is normal.

- The guide lines in the front left/right side of car mode are aligned due to shooting position/angle difference from left/right rear mirrors; however, mild staggered position of doors is normal.

- 360^irc Camera display area is constricted, where the further part from the car body will present image deformation, which is normal.

- 360^irc Camera are precision device. Do not hit camera, which might cause abnormal situations like failure or damage.

- 360° Camera is to aid and reinforce display of periphery blind areas against the car body. When you drive, you still must make use of the left/right side mirrors and rear view mirrors.

- When you reverse, some conditions (Ex.: weather, light) might constrict image. Do not drive your car only by the display.

- 360° Camera image might be affected or incorrect with the change of tire size; hence, we do not suggest you to change tire size.

- Heavy impact or displacement from collision might cause 360° Camera image to diverge right or left, worsening image connection. To resume normal operations, image calibration and part replacement may be required.

• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.

NOTE

• A rear view camera is a camera that provides symmetrical images in the same way as rear and side view mirrors.
• Connection to a TV with an RCA video input is possible, but confirm whether the TV you use has a reverse gear connection function.
• This product is designed to supplement the driver's rear view, but the camera images do not show all dangers and obstacles. Be sure to look behind you when reversing to confirm the view.
• This product features a wide-angle lens, so the near view is wide and the far view is narrow, which may create a false sense of distance. Be sure to look behind you when reversing to confirm the view.
• Do not wash your car with an automatic car wash or high-pressure water as it may result in water entering the camera or the camera falling off.
• Check camera bracket installation before driving. Are the screws loose?
• Is the camera bracket firmly secured?
• If the rear view camera comes loose while you are driving

it may cause an accident. Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connected up properly, and the unit and the system work.

• When mounting this unit, make sure none of the leads are trapped between this unit and the surrounding metalwork or fittings.
• Do not mount this unit near the heater outlet, where it would be affected by heat, or near the doors, where rainwater might splash onto it. (Never install in locations such as the above because of the danger of malfunction due to high temperatures.)
• Before drilling any mounting holes always check behind where you want to drill the holes. Do not drill into the gas line, brake line, electrical wiring or other important parts.
• If this unit is installed in the passenger compartment, anchor it securely so it does not break free while the car is moving, and cause injury or an accident.
• If this unit is installed under a front seat, make sure it does not obstruct seat movement. Route all leads and cords carefully around the sliding mechanism so they do not get caught or pinched in the mechanism and cause a short circuit.

Care and maintenance

• When the product gets dirty, wipe dry with a silicon cloth or soft cloth. If it is seriously stained, remove stain with a cloth moistened with a neutral cleaner and then wipe the cleaner away. Do not use a hard cloth and/or a volatile substance such as lacquer thinner or alcohol, scratches, deformation, degradation and/or damage may result.

Installation Procedure

1 To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the - battery.
2 Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit.
3 Connect the wiring harness wires in the following order: ground, ignition and camera unit.
4 Install the unit in your car.
5 Reconnect the - battery.

WARNING

• If you connect the ignition wire (Red) to the car chassis (Ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those wires to the power source running through the fuse box.
• Do not cut out the fuse from the ignition wire (Red). The power supply must be connected to the wires via the fuse.

CAUTION

• If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position, connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to a power source with a constant voltage supply, as with battery wires, the battery may die.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren't touching to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same rating.
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
  • After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
  • Install so that it does not obstruct the rear field of view.
  • Install so that it does not protrude from the side of the car.
• Do not perform installation in rain or fog.
• When humidity is high, dry the surface to which the unit is to be attached before installing.
• Moisture on the attachment surface reduces adhesive strength, which may lead to the unit coming off.
• Do not attach the camera bracket to areas on the car body treated with fluorocarbon resin, or glass.
• May result in the rear view camera falling off.
• Do not apply water to the unit.
• Do not expose the unit to rain.
• Do not subject the camera to unnecessary force.
• Thoroughly clean where tape is used for sticking on the unit.
• Refer to the Instruction's manual for details on connecting the other units, then make connections correctly.
• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around them where they lie against metal parts.
• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and seat rails.

• Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body.

• When replacing the fuse, be sure to use only fuse of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.

• To minimize noise locate the TV antenna cable, radio antenna cable and RCA cable as far away from each other as possible.
• Lay the cords by avoiding high-temperature areas. Use corrugated tubes for wiring inside the engine room. If a cord contacts a high-temperature area of the vehicle, the coating may melt and cause short-circuiting, which may lead to a fire or electric shock hazard.
