≥

Attach the wires correctly. 
If the wiring is not correctly performed, it may
cause a fire or an accident. In particular, be sure to
run and secure the lead wire so that it does not get
tangled with a screw or the moving portion of a
seat rail.

❐ 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 connections
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 hooking wires, insulate
all exposed leads with electrical tape until you are
ready to use them. Identify the leads in the follow-
ing 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. Turn the ignition on
to the accessory position, and ground one lead of
the test bulb to the chassis.
