Before You Begin Installation
Before you begin, you will need tools, supplies and adapters. It is best to make sure you have
everything you need before you take your dashboard apart.

Adapters for Easier Installation
Electrical and dashboard adapters make
installation easier. Purchase adapters from
your local Jensen retailer, electronics store or
car stereo specialty store.
Wiring Harness Adapter
For a basic installation, you can purchase a
wiring harness adapter for your car's existing
radio connectors. This makes installation easy.
Dashboard Adapters
The opening in your dashboard may not match
the size of your Jensen radio. Purchase an
adapter kit for your car.
Antenna Adapter
(GM cars)
1990 and newer GM cars have a small
antenna connector. You will need an adapter
when installing this radio in a newer GM car.
Speaker Requirements
Only connect the CD515K to speakers rated in
the load impedance range of 4 to 8 ohms.
Speakers with a load impedance less than 4
ohms could damage the CD515K.
