The Kenwood connection cable CAW-PS2013 is an accessory for integrating a steering wheel remote control into Kenwood car radios. It serves as a connecting element between the vehicle's steering wheel and a separate adapter box designated as CAW-RL2000. The cable enables control of certain functions of the car radio via buttons integrated into the steering wheel, with the exact functionality depending on the respective vehicle model.

Steering wheel remote control
The steering wheel remote control allows operation of functions such as volume control, switching audio sources, or initiating a station search, without taking your eyes off the road. These functions are only available if the Kenwood car radio is factory-equipped for connection to a steering wheel remote control. Compatibility therefore depends on the specific radio and vehicle configuration.

Functions and equipment in detail
The connection cable CAW-PS2013 connects the steering wheel buttons to the adapter box CAW-RL2000, which receives the signals and forwards them to the car radio. The exact signal transmission takes place via the conductors integrated in the cable, which are connected to the corresponding connection points on the adapter box and the steering wheel. The functions that can be controlled via the steering wheel are not standardized due to vehicle and radio dependency, but vary depending on the model.

Technology explained simply
The cable is a purely mechanical-electrical connecting element without its own control logic. It transmits the button impulses directly to the adapter box, which then sends the corresponding commands to the car radio. Signal transmission takes place via a defined electrical interface designed for compatibility with Kenwood radios. Use requires factory preparation of the radio, as universal adaptation is not possible.

Compatibility and accessories
The connection cable CAW-PS2013 is exclusively usable in combination with the adapter box CAW-RL2000. Functionality is limited to vehicles equipped with a factory-integrated steering wheel remote control.

Installation and mounting
Installation requires connecting the cable to the steering wheel buttons and to the adapter box CAW-RL2000. Wiring is done via the conductors integrated in the cable, which are connected to the corresponding connection points.

Advantages in operation
Using the connection cable CAW-PS2013 enables safer operation of the car radio, as hands remain on the steering wheel. Functions controlled via the steering wheel reduce distraction during driving. Integration takes place via a factory-provided interface, ensuring a stable and reliable electrical connection. Control is performed via buttons integrated into the steering wheel, which support different functions depending on the vehicle model.
