5. Connect the blue/white wire to any
optional equipment, designed to run
from a switched source, that you
want the stereo to turn on and off
(such as a booster or a power
antenna).
This wire does not provide power to
the components. If you do not use
this wire, secure it with a wire tie
and do not let it touch metal.
Testing the Power Connections
Temporarily connect:
• The harness to the stereo's 14-pin
wiring socket
• Your vehicle battery's negative (–)
cable
Turn on your vehicle's ignition and install
your stereo's control panel (see “Install-
ing/Removing the Control Panel” on
Page 11). Verify that the stereo works
properly when the display lights.
If the display does not light, immediately
turn off your vehicle's ignition and dis-
connect your vehicle battery's negative
(–) cable. Then recheck your connec-
tions.
If the stereo works properly, remove the
control panel and disconnect:
• Your vehicle battery's negative (–)
cable
• The harness from the stereo's 14-
pin wiring socket
Then proceed with the installation.
Connecting an Equalizer/
Booster
If you are connecting the stereo to a
separate equalizer or booster, you need
additional wires (not included).
To increase the total power output from
your system, connect an equalizer or
booster to the
R
(right) and
L
(left) line
output jacks on the back of the stereo
(and the 14-pin connector’s blue/white
wire, if you want to use the stereo to turn
on and off the equalizer or booster).
Check the equalizer/booster's owner's
manual for directions.
Connecting Two Pairs of
Speakers
Follow these steps to connect the har-
ness with the 14-pin connector to the
speakers.
1. Connect the white wire to the left
front speaker's positive terminal.
This terminal is usually marked with
a plus (+) sign or red mark.
