    Default Upgrading Kenwood KMR-550U to KMR-D562BT?

    The wire in my 2008 Moomba Outback DD is Blue/Red, the wire on my BT unit is Blue/White.
    The remote in my case is
    Red-Ignition
    Yellow-12v+
    Black-12-
    Blue/Red-Signal

You said modifications were needed on the harness when you went to the 550U. In doing that did you bring the connection for the remote into the main plug? Was it the blue wire with white stripe in the Moomba harness? That is the only thing that wasn't part of the main harness plug in. I didn't do anything to the moomba harness and I think it is all original. I hate to cut the original plug and start soldering stuff together but will do if I have to, just want to make sure I do the right thing.
    Thanks
    if i recall correctly, as it was 3 years ago. i think i cut the remote line and reused the plug and soldiered that one line.. too bad i didn't get this earlier this morning, i won't be back at my boat for almost a month to get a view..

    I have an 07 LSV and upgraded to the 562BT. I have the white driver remote and it worked fine. I think there is like one wire difference from original harness to the new one. I just unpinned it and moved to the other connector so I did not have to rewire everything.

    Thanks everyone for the really helpful input! Can't wait to get back to the boat and check out your suggestions.

    One last question, I have the white Aeware remotes. Is there any way to know if they are powered and ready? I have read on here something about lighting up, is that referring to another version like the Kenwood? Thanks to all, you guys are extremely helpful.

    I installed a Kenwood KMR-562BT in a 2001 Moomba. I used the original wiring and have a KCA RC900MR in the front and a KCA RC50MR by the swim platform and I can control the volume and turn the radio on/off from these older remotes. Not sure if they light up.

    See my above post as to the wiring. If the keys do light up, this wiring is per the manual:
