Power Connection
When connecting the stereo to power, you must connect the yellow, red, and black wires to the power source.
The yellow and red wires have different functions, and the method you use to connect them to power depends
on how you plan to use the stereo in your vehicle.
Yellow wire
• This wire provides power to the stereo.
• This wire should be connected through a 15 A circuit breaker, if one is available in the vehicle.
NOTICE
If a 15 A circuit breaker is not available in the vehicle, you must connect this wire to power through a 15 A
fuse (not included).
• This wire provides power to the stereo at all times. If standby mode is enabled, or if the device is
configured to operate as a Web Display Unit (WDU), the wire will drain the battery even when the stereo is
not in use. You should install a manual switch on this wire if a 15 A circuit breaker is not available in the
vehicle, or if you cannot toggle the breaker to remove power to the stereo when storing the vehicle.
• If it is necessary to extend this wire, use 14 AWG (2.08 mm
2
) wire. For extensions longer than 1 m (3 ft.),
use 12 AWG (3.31 mm
²
) wire.
Red wire
• This wire can be connected to the same power source as the yellow wire through the ignition or through a
manual switch. This enables you to turn the stereo on and off automatically when you turn the vehicle on
and off, or when you activate the switch.
• Use this wire to turn the stereo on and off. It is not necessary to connect this wire to a switch if you plan to
toggle the power using the power button on the stereo or using a connected device or remote control. This
wire must be connected to turn the stereo on.
• If standby mode is enabled, when you turn off the stereo using this switch or the power button, the stereo
enters a standby mode that allows it to start up again faster than if you switch the power off using the
yellow wire (
Enabling Standby Mode, page 11
). When it is in standby mode, the stereo uses up to 200 mA,
and you must turn off power to the stereo on the yellow wire through the circuit breaker or manual switch
when you are not using the vehicle to avoid draining the battery.
•
NOTICE
You must connect this wire to power through a 1 A fuse (not included), whether or not you connect it to the
ignition or manual switch.
• If it is necessary to extend this wire, use 22 AWG (0.33 mm
2
) wire.
Black wire
• This is the ground wire, and you must connect it to the negative terminal of the power source or to a
common ground.
• If it is necessary to extend this wire, use 14 AWG (2.08 mm
2
) wire. For extensions longer than 1 m (3 ft.),
use 12 AWG (3.31 mm
²
) wire.
