Troubleshooting Guide
Carkit does not start up.
Start the engine and let it run for one minute then check if there is 12V
between the black and the red wire and also between the black and blue wire, in the carkit connec-
tor. If there is not 12v on both wires please check the following:
1.
If there is supply on the red constant 12v wire but not on the blue ignition wire please
re-
check connection of Constant 12v and ground see installation point 2.
2.
Please check that the blue wire from the 8 pin connector in the IGNI-BOX is connected to
the ignition input of the carkit. See installation step 1.
3.
Check that the bullets on the supply wires are properly connected. The supply wires are the
red, blue and black wires.
4.
Check for a blown fuse on the cable-set and cars fuse-box.
The carkit does not turn off.
The IGNI-BOX LED and Ignition output should switch off a maximum of
4 minutes after the key is removed, extended to 9 minutes when the orange loop wire is cut.
Please remove the key from the ignition barrel and wait 4/9 minutes. If it does not turn off . Then
please check the following:
1.
Please check that the blue wire from the 8 pin connector in the IGNI-BOX is connected to
the ignition input of the carkit. See installation step 1.
2.
Please check if a yellow mute wire is connected to the 6 pin connector in the IGNI-BOX. The
IGNI-BOX will not switch off as long as the mute input is active. The mute input is active
when pulled to ground.
Radio will not turn on or not working properly after installation.
1.
Please check for a blown fuse at the back of the radio or in the car fuse-box.
2.
Please check that all connector are properly connected and that there are no bend or dam-
aged pins.
3.
Remove the Cable-set and connect the radio to the original car connector. If the radio is
now working replace the Cable-set.

The IGNI-BOX
makes the need for an ignition wire, when installing aftermarket car accessories,
redundant.
Many new cars do not have an easy accessible switched ignition wire due to the use of Bus based
vehicle control networks such as CAN-bus. This has spawned the need for a fast and versatile Igni-
tion wire substitute.
For this reason we have invented the IGNI-BOX. This small microprocessor controlled unit makes an
artificial switched Ignition based on the voltage and noise levels on the constant 12v wire. To make
the needed calculations the IGNI-BOX makes up to 4000 measurements pr. second.
The IGNI-BOX will switch on the ignition signal when it senses that the engine is running. That way
being very similar to the normal ignition functionality in older cars.
A normal IGNI-BOX item number consists of two items. The 1st item is the IGNI-BOX and the 2nd
item is the IGNI-BOX adaptor. The IGNI-BOX adaptor makes the installation plug and play when in-
stalling a Kram Telecom cable set. Some IGNI-BOX adaptors even exists for OEM Carkit cable sets.
But all the IGNI-BOX really needs in order to generate an artificial ignition signal is a connection to
the constant 12v and the ground wire. The installation is that simple.
Software Version 6.x release notes:
•
Simpler installation as programming during installation is no longer required.
•
Will now work on most cars with automatic engine start/stop and smart charging.
•
User selectable switch-off delay for use on cars with automatic engine start/stop.
•
Possible to use IGNI-BOX on cars where 12v supply is broken during parking.
•
Improved stability.
•
Improved battery discharge protection.
The software version is indicated on the IGNI-BOX label see picture below:
