FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
My car originally came with a switch to control my automatic
antenna. Can I use the RetroSound
®
radio’s remote antenna
wire to control my antenna?
No you cannot. Your factory antenna is known as “semi-
automatic.” It requires a switch to either extend or retract
the antenna. You must retain this switch to control your
antenna. The RetroSound
®
radio’s power antenna wire is for
more modern “fully-automatic” antennas not requiring a
separate switch. Compatible fully-automatic antennas are
available on our website www.retromanufacturing.com.
The sound output is all mid-range, with very little bass and a
strangled-sounding upper range. What is wrong?
One of your speaker wires is connected backwards. This is called
being “out of phase.” Check to make sure positive is wired to
positive and negative to negative on all your speakers.
Will cutting or bending the InfiniMount brackets void the warranty
or harm the unit?
No. The patented RetroSound
®
InfiniMount bracket system has
been designed specifically to be bent, cut and modified to simplify
radio installation. Modification to the radio’s brackets is actually
encouraged to ensure proper fit.
If you have questions about modifying the bracket system, contact
us at [email protected] or call us at 888.325.1555.
How much should I tighten the shaft nuts when installing the
brackets and mounting the radio to the dash?
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the shaft nuts. The shaft nuts are NOT
designed to secure the radio to the dash. There is a backstrap
included which works with the shaft nuts to secure the radio to the
dash. Overtightening the shaft nuts could break the shafts. Retro
Manufacturing, LLC will not be responsible for broken shafts due to
overtightening of the shaft nuts.
