device as intended.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the connectors
To ensure good connection between the set and
the detachable front, it is advisable to clean the
connectors with a cotton swab slightly moistened
with cleaning fluid or alcohol periodically.
* Depending on version
** For this accessory, see your dealer
INSTALLATION
If your car is equipped with ISO connectors, simply
insert them in the connectors of the car radio. If
not, you can use an adaptor cable (Refer to the
table on the separate installation manual). Ensure
all cables are installed so that they cannot be
damaged by sharp edges or moving parts.
PREPARATION
Voltage and polarity: The set must be connected
to a 12V car battery with negative terminal to earth
(car chassis). Installation in vehicles not fulfilling
these requirements could result in malfunction,
damage or fire.
Warning: To prevent short-circuiting,
disconnect the negative car battery terminal until
the set has been mounted and connected (fig.
1 See separate installation card).
CONNECTOR A** (fig. 2)
Power supply connections
• Red wire A7 : Connect to a permanent 12V
supply. This is the main power supply. Ensure
this connection can handle a current of 10A.
•Yellow/red wire A4 : Connect to a switched 12V
supply (switched on/off by car ignition).
• Brown wire A8: Connect to earth (car chassis).
Optional connections (fig. 2)
• SDVC (Speed Dependent Volume Control)*:
SDVC automatically increases and decreases
the volume as a result of the car's speed.
• Connect pin A1 to a signal from the speedometer
of your car. Some cars are already prepared for
it (e.g. certain VW & Vauxhall/Opel cars), please
consult your dealer.
If not, you may need a more detailed installation
requiring extra equipment to enable your car to
become compatible.
Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10

wiring of the car. Use the small connector
provided.
Note : In certain car (e.g. VW Passat) the
dashboard illumination is dimmed by a digitally
modulated signal (PWM - Pulse Width
Modulation). This PWM signal can disturb the
illumination display of the car radio. In this
case, connect pin A6 to the switch signal of
the low beam headlight. Please consult your
car dealers for more information.

fuse must be of exactly this value and type
otherwise the set will not be adequately
protected. Ignoring this procedure may lead to
damage to the set, which will invalidate the
guarantee.
INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION
• Most modern cars have sufficient interference
suppression. If you experience interference
generated by the car, consult your garage.
MOUNTING RADIO
This radio can be properly installed either from
conventional Front Mounting or Rear Mounting.
