Mounted” through a opening in the dashboard panel.
The required opening size is 182mm (7-3/16") x
84mm (3-5/16"). Cut or enlarged an opening in the
dashboard to accommodate the mounting sleeve.

Step 2: If you are replacing an existing factory

installed radio, an adapter harness might be avail­able for your vehicle to eliminate the need for cut­ting your factory wiring. Contact Radio Shack or
other car stereo installation centers for the availabil­ity of a harness for your vehicle.

Step 3: Insert the mounting sleeve into the hole in

the dashboard. Bend the metal tabs on the sleeve to
secure the mounting sleeve to the dashboard.

Step 4: Bring all wiring for the connection of the unit

(including the antenna) through the center of the
mounting sleeve. Connect the wiring as follows:

Yellow Wire (w/Fuse): Connect this wire to a con­stant +12 volt power source (a power source that is
not controlled by the ignition key).

Red Wire: Connect this wire to a switched +12 volt
power source (a power source turned on and off by
the ignition key).

Blue Wire: Connect this wire to the (+) power
antenna activation circuit. If no power antenna
exists, tape-off the end of this wire to prevent short­ing out the unit.

Black Wire: Connect this wire to the frame of the
vehicle (ground). This wire is the chassis grounding
wire for the unit.

White Wire: Connect this wire to the Left Front
Speaker (+) positive terminal or wire.

White Wire with Black Stripe: Connect this wire to the
Left Front Speaker (-) negative terminal or wire.

Gre

en Wire with Black Stripe: Connect this wire to the

Left Rear Speaker (-) negative terminal or wire.
Green Wire: Connect this wire to the Left Rear

Speaker (+) positive terminal or wire.
Gray Wire: Connect this wire to the Right Front

Speaker (+) positive terminal or wire.

Gra

y Wire with Black Stripe: Connect this wire to the

Right Front Speaker (-) negative terminal or wire.

Purple

Right Rear Speaker (-) negative terminal or wire.
Purple Wire: Connect this wire to the Right Rear

Speaker (+) positive terminal or wire.

Gray Cable with Red/White RCA Connectors:

Provides L/R Channel audio signal output to an
additional amplifier.

Note: This unit is designed to connect to (4) four
speakers. If the installation only requires (2) two
speakers, use the White and Gray wire sets to con­nect the speakers.
