Help - very weird kenwood harness.

I'm helping my friend install a Kenwood kvt-815 DVD head unit. normally a HU is easy to install, just get an adapter or splice a bunch of wires. but this kenwood unit has some sort of "bus" or w/e you would call it that I've never seen before. none of my friends have seen it either and apparently there are several shops that have no idea what to do with it. anyways, i've got some pics. if anyone has a deck with this or knows anything about it let me know. I couldn't find any adapters or anything online.

Re: Help - very weird kenwood harness.

Do you have the install manual?

The square looks like for a CD changer interface, The RCA is not used and the other socket on the back is for power, ground, memory, park brake signal and obviously uses a Kenwood specific plug/harness.

Re: Help - very weird kenwood harness.

My best guess would be to contact Kenwood directly.
