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.
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 RetroSound
®
patented 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, feel
free to contact us.
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 the
only means of securing the radio to the dash. There is a back strap
included which works with the shaft nuts to secure the radio to the
dash. Please note that 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.
