I'm sorry to hear that you're missing the power plug for your Kenwood KDT-512 head unit. Here is a possible pinout diagram for the power plug:

1. Yellow - Constant 12V battery power (connect to a constant 12V source with a fuse)

2. Red - Switched 12V ignition power (connect to a switched 12V source that turns on/off with the ignition)

3. Black - Ground (connect to a solid metal ground on your vehicle)

4. Blue - Power antenna or amplifier remote turn-on (optional, connect if needed)

5. Green - Left rear speaker positive

6. Green with black stripe - Left rear speaker negative

7. Purple - Right rear speaker positive

8. Purple with black stripe - Right rear speaker negative

9. White - Left front speaker positive

10. White with black stripe - Left front speaker negative

11. Gray - Right front speaker positive

12. Gray with black stripe - Right front speaker negative Please note that this is a general pinout based on the standard wiring colors found in most car stereo installations. It is always recommended to consult the user manual or wiring diagram specific to your head unit model to ensure the correct pinout.

Additionally, if you're unsure or uncomfortable with the wiring, it's best to consult a professional car audio technician for assistance.

I couldn't find any information about the pinout for a Kenwood KDT-512 head unit. However, I was able to find a general pinout for Kenwood head units. This should give you a good starting point for finding the pinout for your specific model.

Here is the general pinout for Kenwood head units:

Pin Color Function

1 Red Power (+)

2 Yellow Battery (+)

3 Black Ground (-)

4 Blue Antenna

5 White Right front speaker (+)

6 White/Black Right front speaker (-)

7 Gray Left front speaker (+)

8 Gray/Black Left front speaker (-)

9 Green Right rear speaker (+)

10 Green/Black Right rear speaker (-)

11 Purple Left rear speaker (+)

12 Purple/Black Left rear speaker (-)

13 Orange Illumination

14 Pink Brake switch

15 Brown Reverse switch

16 Green/Yellow Subwoofer output (+)

17 Black/Yellow Subwoofer output (-)

Please note that this is just a general pinout and may not be accurate for all Kenwood head units. It is always best to consult your head unit's manual for the specific pinout.

If you are still having trouble finding the pinout for your Kenwood KDT-512 head unit, you can try contacting Kenwood customer support. They should be able to provide you with the correct pinout for your model.
