Notes On Installation  
• Disconnect negative battery terminal before starting installation. Consult the vehi-  
cle’s owner’s manual for proper instruction.  
• The unit is designed for a 12Volt DC negative ground operation system only. Before  
installing the unit, confirm that your vehicle is a 12Volt DC negative ground system.  
• Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to the diagram. Incorrect con-  
nections may cause the unit to malfunction or damage the vehicle’s electrical sys-  
tem.  
• Be sure to connect the negative (-) speaker leads to the negative (-) speaker termi-  
nal. Never connect negative (-) speaker leads to chassis ground.  
• The unit is only designed for use with 4 speakers. Do not combine output for use  
with 2 speakers. Do not ground negative speaker leads to the chassis ground.  
• Make sure all the connections are completely correct before turning on your unit.  
• When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of the same amperage as  
shown on the fuse holder.  
• Do not block vents or heater panels. Blocking them will cause heat to build up in-  
side and may result in fire.  
• After completing the installation and before operating the unit, reconnect the bat-  
tery. Then press the (RES) button with a pointed object, such as a ball-point pen to  
set the unit to its initial status.

Before You Install  
Automotive audio equipment installations can be challenging at times, even to the most  
experienced of installation technicians.  
If you are not confident working with electrical wiring, removing and re-installing interior  
panels, carpeting, dashboards or other components of your vehicle, please call your dealer  
in order to have the unit professionally installed.  
IMPORTANT!  
BEFORE THE FINAL INSTALLATION OF THE HEAD UNIT, CONNECT THE WIRING  
TEMPORARILY, MAKING SURE THE UNIT AND THE SYSTEM WORK PROPERLY.  
1. Remove the Old Unit from the Dashboard  
A. Remove the outer trim frame.  
B. Insert the keys supplied with the old unit  
into both sides of the old unit as shown  
in figure below until they click. Push keys  
apart and pull to remove the old unit from  
the dashboard.  
DIN Front Mount Style  
DO NOT DISCONNECT WIRES AT THIS TIME!  
2. Mark Polarity of the Speaker Wires  
Marking the polarity of the speaker wires will make it easier to connect the existing  
speakers to the Head Unit.  
Consult wiring diagram of existing head unit before disconnecting any wires. If a  
wiring diagram is not available contact the manufacturer.  
A. While the old unit is playing, discon-  
nect the wires from one speaker.  
B. Take a length of masking tape and  
fold it around the wire so it forms a  
flag.  
C. On the masking tape mark the polar-  
ity of the speaker wires (+ & - ), as  
well as left or right, and front or rear.  
D. Double check that you marked the  
first speaker correctly by checking  
that the speaker wires are the same  
at the head unit.  
E. Repeat this procedure for all of the  
speakers.  
F. Mark the power, ground, and any oth-  
er wires also
