What you're holding in your hands is no ordinary owner's
manual. We've tried to make the instructions in this book
clear and easy to follow.

Installation .....................................7
For your Jensen stereo to work right, it must be installed
correctly. This manual will show you how to install your new
stereo like a pro. It's a good idea to read all of these
instructions before you begin the installation. Most
installations are straightforward and can be handled by a
do-it-yourselfer with the right tools, patience, and the ability
to follow instructions. But, do-it-yourself installation isn't for
everyone. If you still don't feel confident after reading this
book, consider turning the installation job over to someone
better suited to it.

Professional Tip
Professional Tip
Crimp Connections
Connections
Good wire connections are very important for
best sound and long-term reliability. Here are
two methods:
Purchase crimp connectors and crimping
tool. Connectors are color coded. This
Jensen radio uses RED connectors (18-20
gauge wire).
Splice
1. Strip 1/4 inch (6mm) of insulation from
both wires.
2. Insert into connector.
3. Crimp tightly.
You can make permanent splices (using
butt connectors) or select connectors that
can be removed and reinstalled.
1. Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from
both wires.
2. Wrap wires together
3. Fold wires over
4. Stretch electrical tape tightly over splice.

Solder
Solder is the best way to connect wires, but it
takes skill and practice. Splice the wires (as
shown above). Before taping, heat the wires
(not the solder). When the wires are hot
enough, touch the solder to the splice. The
solder will flow over the wires. Stretch
electrical tape tightly over splice.
Professional Tip
Upgrading Your System
International Jensen makes a wide range of
car stereo products that will make your car
system sound better, great or INCREDIBLE!
Better Sound
Install a Jensen tape deck or CD player like
you’re doing now. High power units can
make your existing speakers sound better
and play louder.
Important:
Be very careful when soldering wires in your
car. Cover nearby carpeting and seats to
prevent damage from hot solder.
Great Sound
Replace your existing speakers with Jensen
speakers. Many of our speakers will fit into
your car without cutting or drilling. You can
also add an amplified graphic equalizer to
tailor the sound to your liking.
INCREDIBLE Sound
Jensen offers a full line of amplifiers, high-
power speakers and subwoofers that can
turn your car into audio dynamite. You can
go loud, louder and loudest by selecting
Jensen components from your retailer.

Wiring with a Wiring Adapter
This is the easiest wiring method, because it replaces your existing radio. You will have to buy a wire
harness adapter from your dealer, a car stereo installation shop or electronics store. If you use a wiring
adapter, you can connect all wires to the radio before you even start to take your old radio out.
Connect Wires
Install Wiring Inside the Car
1. Connect wiring adapter to the car's
existing wiring harness.
Splice, crimp or solder the wires from the
Jensen connector to the wiring adapter. Match
the wires according to the chart (below) and
the wiring adapter instructions.
2. Connect antenna extender cable to car
antenna lead.
3. Slide radio part way into half-sleeve.
Splices
You can make all
these connections
without even being
in the car.
