with the final mounting of the chassis.

 To continue using these speakers with your 

Aquatic AV Media Player follow the instructions below.

The pigtail itself is labelled with Color Code, Function and Description.

2. Locate the stock 35-pin wiring harness that was connected to your OEM radio. This connector 
will not be connected to your Aquatic AV head unit. Cut the four matching colored wires from the 
back of the 35 pin harness 3” down from the connector.

3. Strip the 4-pin pigtail wires 1/4” exposing bare wires. Strip the 4 wires that you cut from the 
35-pin harness 1/4” exposing bare wires.

4. Connect and crimp using crimp caps or solder the connection, cover the soldered wires with 
non conductive heat shrink tube.
