Step 1:
The radio chassis is designed to be “Sleeve
Mounted” through a opening in the dashboard panel.
The required opening size is 182mm (7-3/16") x
84mm (3-5/16"). Cut or enlarged an opening in the
dashboard to accommodate the mounting sleeve.
Step 2:
If you are replacing an existing factory
installed radio, an adapter harness might be avail-
able for your vehicle to eliminate the need for cut-
ting your factory wiring. Contact Radio Shack or
other car stereo installation centers for the availabil-
ity of a harness for your vehicle.
Step 3:
Insert the mounting sleeve into the hole in
the dashboard. Bend the metal tabs on the sleeve to
secure the mounting sleeve to the dashboard.
Step 4
: Bring all wiring for the connection of the unit
(including the antenna) through the center of the
mounting sleeve. Connect the wiring as follows:
Yellow Wire: Connect this wire to a co12
volt power source (a power source that is not con-
trolled by the ignition key).
Red Wire (w/Fuse): Connect this wire to a switched
+12 volt power source (a power source turned on
and off by the ignition key).
Blue Wire: Connect this wire to the (+) power
antenna activation circuit. If no power antenna
exists, tape-off the end of this wire to prevent short-
ing out the unit.
Black Wire: Connect this wire to the frame of the
vehicle (ground). This wire is the chassis grounding
wire for the unit.
White Wire: Connect this wire to the Left Front
Speaker (+) positive terminal or wire.
White Wire with Black Stripe: Connect this wire to the
Left Front Speaker (-) negative terminal or wire.
Green Wire with Black Stripe: Connect this wire to the
Left Rear Speaker (-) negative terminal or wire.
Green Wire: Connect this wire to the Left Rear
Speaker (+) positive terminal or wire.
Gray Wire: Connect this wire to the Right Front
Speaker (+) positive terminal or wire.
Gray Wire with Black Stripe: Connect this wire to the
Right Front Speaker (-) negative terminal or wire.
Purple Wire with Black Stripe: Connect this wire to the
Right Rear Speaker (-) negative terminal or wire.
Purple Wire: Connect this wire to the Right Rear
Speaker (+) positive terminal or wire.
Gray Cable with Red/White RCA Connectors:
Provides Left and Right Channel audio signal output
for input to an additional amplifier.
Note 1: This unit is designed to connect to (4) four
speakers. If the installation only requires (2) two
speakers, use the White and Gray wire sets to con-
nect the speakers.
Note 2: If installation angle exceeds 30 degrees
from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum
performance.
Note 3: Avoid installing the unit where it would be
subject to high temperature, such as from direct sun-
light, or from hot air, from the heater, or where is
would be subject to dust, dirt or excessive vibration.
