□ Identify All Leads
The first Step in installation is to identify all the car
wires you’ll use when hooking up your sound sys
tem.
As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label
it using masking tape and a permanent marker.
This will help avoid confusion when making con
nections later.
Note: Do not connect the power connector to the
stereo unit until you have made all connections. If
there are no plastic caps on the stereo hooking
wires, insulate all exposed leads with electrical tape
until you are ready to use them. Identify the leads
in the following order
Power Lead
If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
Cut the connector wires one at a time from the plug
{leaving the leads as long as possible) so that you
can work with individual leads.
1
Turn the ignition on to the accessory position, and
ground one lead of the test bulb to the chassis.
Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the
exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.
Touch one wire at a time until you find the outlet
that causes the test bulb to light.
Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb
also turns off and on, that outlet is the car power
lead.
If your car is not wired for an audio unit:
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for radio
(RADIO), accessory (ACC), or ignition (IGN).
Battery Lead
If your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will need
to locate the car’s battery lead. Otherwise you may
ignore this procedure. (The yellow battery lead pro
vides continuous power to maintain a clock, memo
ry storage, or other function.)
If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
With the ignition and headlights off, identify the car
battery lead by grounding one lead of the test bulb
to the chassis and checking the remaining exposed
wires from the cut radio connector plug.
f your car is not wired for an audio unit:
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the
battery, usually marked BAT.
Speakers
Identify the car speaker leads. There are two leads
for each speaker which are usually color coded.
A handy way to identify the speaker leads and the
speaker they are connected with is to test the leads
using a 1.5 volt AA battery as follows.
Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and
stroke the other lead across the other pole. You will
hear a scraping sound in one of the speakers if you
are holding a speaker lead.
If not, keep testing different lead combinations until
you have located all the speaker leads. When you
label them, include the speaker location for each.
Antenna Motor
If your car is equipped with an automatic power an
tenna, identify the car motor antenna lead by con
necting one bulb tester lead to the car battery lead
and touching the remaining exposed wires from the
cut radio connector plug one at a time. You will
hear the antenna motor activate when you touch
the correct wire.
Antenna
The antenna lead is a thick, black wire with a metal
plug at the end.
□ Connect All Leads

Speakers
Connect the speaker wires. See the connection dia
gram {■ => page 24) for the proper hookups. Follow
the diagram carefully to avoid damaging the speak
ers and the stereo unit.
The speakers used must be able to handle more
than 45 watts of audio power. If using an optional
audio amplifier, the speakers should be able to han
dle the maximum amplifier output power. Speakers
with low input ratings can be damaged. Speaker
impedance should measure 4-8 ohms, which is
typically marked on most speakers. Lower or high
er impedance speakers will affect output and can
cause both speaker and stereo unit damage.
Motor Antenna
Connect the car motor antenna lead to the dark
blue motor antenna relay control lead.
Battery
Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio
wire or to the battery fuse port on the fuse block.
Antenna
Connect the antenna by plugging the antenna lead
into the antenna receptacle.
Equipment
Connect any optional equipment such as an ampli
fier, according to the instructions furnished with
the equipment. Leave about 12 inches {30 cm) of
distance between the speaker leads/amplifier unit
and the antenna/antenna extension cord. Read the
operating and installation instructions of any equip
ment you will connect to this unit.
Power
Connect the red power lead to the correct car radio
wire or to the appropriate fuse port on the fuse
block.
If the stereo unit functions properly with all these
connections made, disconnect the wires and pro
ceed to the final installation.
