to remove the factory radio from the sub-dash.
1. Remove the screws securing the upper and/or lower portion of the dash panel.
2. Remove the screws above the instrument cluster and all screws from the trim panel that
may surround the factory radio.
3. Remove the ash tray and open the glove box to see if there are any screws that need to
be removed from the dash panel. Do not discard any screws!
NOTE:The gear shifter may need to be in low gear to allow for dash panel removal.
4. Gently unclip and remove the dash panel.

2. Disconnect the wiring and antenna cable from the factory radio.
1. Remove all nuts that secure the original factory brackets to the radio.
2. Remove and retain the original mounting brackets from the factory radio.
NOTE:Not all radios have removable mounting brackets. For GM radios with non-removable
brackets, use the two enclosed. These will satisfy most 1993 and up GM radio
mounting applications. If this is not the case, it will be necessary to purchase a special
installation kit. Please consult your local car stereo installation shop or consumer

f. Remove the two transport screws installed through the top of the radio chassis; you cannot
insert a CD into the player until these screws are removed.
NOTE: After confirming fit, place the ACD-75 aside and proceed with wiring instructions.
USING A WIRING ADAPTER
The easiest wiring method to connect the ACD-75 to the vehicle is to buy a wire harness adapter
from your dealer, a car stereo installation shop or an electronics store. If you use a wiring adapter ,
all wires can be connected to your ACD-75 even before your old radio is removed from the car.
Connecting the Wires
Splice, crimp or solder the wires from the Audiovox ACD-75 radio connector to the wiring adapter.
Match the wires according to the function vs color code relationship expressed in the following
table and the wiring adapter instructions.
Attach Wires to Radio (See Figures 1 and 2.)
a. After splicing the wiring adapter to the radio connector, attach the connector to the back of
the radio.
b. Attach an antenna extender cable (not supplied) and antenna adapter, if needed.

Radio Preparation
NOTE:For GM car installations, use the GM Hardware Kit, Part Number 150-1331, which is
furnished with the radio.
1. Match quickie bolt locations on the ACD-75 radio to the factory radio bolt locations, and
snap the short quickie bolts (Item #2) into the appropriate locations.
2. Attach the original factory brackets or those from the radio mounting kit (if required) to the
ACD-75 radio using the supplied flange nuts (Item #4) or use the enclosed bracket
(Item # 6) if the original factory brackets are not removable.
3. Some vehicle applications incorporate a rear mounting support. Match the rear quickie
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
bolt on the ACD-75 radio to the rear factory radio bolt location and snap the long quickie
bolt (Item #3) into place. Thread the plastic rear bushing (Item #5) fully onto the quickie
bolt.
4. Plug supplied wire harness (Item #1) into the mating socket on the rear of the ACD-75.
Installation
1. Connect the wiring harness from the radio to the vehicle side radio harness.
2. Plug the factory antenna cable into the antenna socket on the radio.
NOTE:GM vehicles 1992 and up will require an antenna adapter cable to convert the vehicle
mini connector to standard connector. Antenna adaptor cables are available at car
stereo speciality shops.
3. If a compatible CD changer is to be used with this radio, connect the DIN cable from the
changer to the mating socket on the radio. If an external amplifier will be used for the rear
speakers, connect the low-level output RCA leads from the radio to the low-level inputs on
the amplifier.
4. Reconnect the battery and perform a brief functional test of the radio to verify proper
performance.
5. After verification, turn off the ignition switch and fasten the radio to the sub-dash using the
mounting hardware previously removed from the factory radio.
6. Re-assemble the dash using the reverse of the disassembly procedure.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CARE AND MAINTENANCECARE AND MAINTENANCE
The radio section of your new sound system does not require any maintenance. We recommend
that you keep this manual for reference on the many features found in this unit as well as how to
set the clock.
The compact disc player section also requires no routine maintenance, but proper understanding
of its use and handling will help you obtain maximum enjoyment of its capabilities. The following
points should be observed:
l When cleaning the interior of the vehicle, do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.
l The CD player is a precision instrument and will not operate properly in extreme heat or cold.
In case of such conditions, wait until the interior temperature of the vehicle reaches a normal
temperature before using the player.
l If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a protective circuit will automatically stop
play of the disc. In this case, allow the unit to cool off before operating the player again.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
l Never insert anything other than a 5" (12 cm) compact disc into the player as the mechanism
can be damaged by foreign objects.
l Do not attempt to use 3" (8 cm) CD-Single discs in this unit, either with or without an adaptor,
as damage to the player and/or disc may occur. Such damage will not be covered by the
Warranty on this product.
l When not using the disc player, always remove the compact disc. Do not leave an ejected
disc sitting in the disc slot as this can expose it to sunlight and other causes of damage.
l Do not attempt to open the unit chassis. There are no user serviceable parts or adjustments inside.
l When the vehicle warms up during cold weather or under damp conditions, moisture may
condense on the lens of the disc player. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly
until the moisture has evaporated.
l The unit is designed with a vibration dampening CD mechanism to minimize interruption of
disc play due to normal vibration in a moving vehicle. When driving on very rough roads,
however, occasional sound skips may occur. This will not scratch or damage the disc and
normal play will resume when the rough conditions cease.
HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
Dirt, dust, scratches, and warpage can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of sound
quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs:
l Use only compact discs with the mark .
l Fingerprints, dust, and dirt should be carefully wiped off the disc’s playing surface (shiny side)
with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.
l Never use chemicals such as record sprays, household cleaners or thinner to clean compact
discs. Such chemicals can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
l Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.
l Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for extended periods.
l Do not stick paper, tape, or labels on the disc surfaces nor write on them with any type of marker.
