Notes on Installation
• Disconnect negative battery terminal before starting installation. Consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual for proper instruction.
• The unit is designed for a 12Volt DC negative ground operation system only. Before installing the unit, make sure your vehicle is a 12Volt DC negative ground system.
• Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to malfunction or damage the vehicle's electrical system.
• Be sure to connect the negative (-) speaker leads to the negative (-) speaker terminal. Never connect negative (-) speaker leads to chassis ground.
The unit is only designed for use with 4 speakers. Do not combine output for use with 2 speakers. Do not ground negative speaker leads to the chassis ground.
Make sure all the connections are completely correct before turning on your unit.
• When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder.
• Do not block vents or heater panels. Blocking them will cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.
• After completing the installation and before operating the unit, recon­nect the battery. Then press the (RES) button with a pointed object, such as a ball-point pen to set the unit to its initial status.

Before You Install
Automotive audio equipment installations can be troublesome at times, even to the most experienced of installation technicians. If you are not confident working with electrical wiring, removing and reinstalling interior panels, carpeting, dashboards or other components of your vehicle, please call your dealer in order to have the unit professionally installed.
IMPORTANT:
Remove the two transport screws from the top of
the unit before installing.
1. Remove the Old Unit from the Dashboard
1. Remove the outer trim frame.
DIN Front Mount
2. Insert the keys supplied with the old unit into both sides of the unit as shown in figure below until they click. Pull to remove the old unit from the dashboard.
DO NOT DISCONNECT WIRES AT THIS TIME!
2. Mark Polarity of the Speaker Wires
Marking the polarity of the speaker wires will make it easier to connect the existing speakers to your car radio.Consult wiring diagram of existing head unit before disconnecting any wires. If you are not positive of the polarity of the existing wires from the speakers to the head unit, install new wires.
1.
While the old unit is play-
ing, disconnect the wires from one speaker
2. Take a length of masking tape and fold it around the wire so it forms a flag.
3. On the masking tape mark the polarity of the speaker wires (+ & - ), as well as
4. Double check that you marked the first speaker correctly by checking that the speaker wires are the same at the head unit.
5. Repeat this procedure for all of the speakers.
6. Mark the power, ground, and any other wires also
. left or right, and front or rear.

unit before installing.
DIN Front Mount
1. After removing the old radio and mounting sleeve, insert supplied mount­ing sleeve into opening.
3. Attach wires from the unit to existing wires. See wiring con­nections diagram. Insert radio into dashboard. Then apply the trim frame to outside of radio.
2. Bend the tabs on the mount­ing sleeve to keep the mount­ing sleeve firmly in place.
4. Support radio using sup­plied rear mounting bolt and steel bar. See parts list.
5
Installation
NOTE: Outer trim frame, hook, and mounting sleeve are not used for this installation. This is only intended as a general guide; contact the vehicle's manufacturer for specific instructions. This method of installation uses the screw holes at the sides of the unit and the holes of the existing vehicle mounting bracket.
1. Remove the hooks on both sides.
2. Align the screw holes of the mounting bracket supplied with the car and the screw holes of the main unit. Tighten the 2 screws on each side of the unit. Then fasten the brackets to the car.
3. Attach wires of the unit to existing speaker wires. See wir­ing diagram.
6
Wiring Connections
Make sure that you have a good chassis ground. Good ground connections will eliminate most electrical noise problems. A good chassis ground requires a tight connec­tion to the vehicle's metal chassis. The area around the ground connection should be clean, bare metal without rust, paint, plastic, dust, or dirt for a good electrical connection.
Speaker Wiring Notes
Follow the above wiring dia­gram to install the head unit with new or existing speakers.
• This unit is designed for use with four (4) speakers with an impedance between 4 Ohms to 8 Ohms.
• An impedance load of less than 4 Ohms could damage the unit.
• Never bridge or combine the speaker wire outputs. When not using four speakers, use electrical tape to tape the ends of the unused speaker outputs to prevent a short circuit.
• Never ground the negative speaker terminals to chassis ground.
