Installation Procedure

1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the ignition and

disconnect the 

-

battery.

2. Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit.

3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.

4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the following order: ground,

battery, ignition.

5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.

6. Install the unit in your car.

7. Reconnect the 

-

battery.

8. Press the reset button.

• If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position, connect

the ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and
off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to a
power source with a constant voltage supply, as with battery
wires, the battery may die.

• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the

faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and opening.

• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching to

cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with
the same rating.

• Do not let unconnected wires or terminals touch metal on the

car or anything else conducting electricity. To prevent a short
circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected
wires or the terminals.

• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which

they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail to work if you
share the 

-

wires or ground them to any metal part in the car. 

• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,

blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.

• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar

material.

• Some disc changers need conversion cords for connection. See

the section on "Safety Precautions" for details.
