MAKING THE
CONNECTIONS
The supplied harness with the 14-pin
connector includes all the lead wires
you need to connect the stereo to
ground, power, optional compo-
nents, and speakers.
Important:
Do not cut these wires. If
you cut any wire, you cannot obtain a
refund or exchange on this product.
RadioShack will provide warranty
service if you cut a wire and find the
product is defective.
You might need additional wire, de-
pending on your individual auto-
sound system, to complete the
connections. Your local RadioShack
store carries a full line of wire and
wiring accessories.
Cautions:
• For added safety and to protect
your stereo, disconnect the vehi-
cle battery’s negative (
–
) cable
before you begin.
• You
must
connect the ground,
primary, and memory backup
wires first, then make all other
connections (as described in the
following sections) before you
plug the harness with the 14-pin
connector into the stereo. If you
do not make connections in the
order shown, you could damage
the stereo if any wire connec-
tions are made incorrectly.
Using an Adapter Harness
If you are replacing an existing stereo
or if your vehicle has been factory-
wired for autosound components,
you might be able to use an adapter
harness to connect the power and
speakers. Your local RadioShack
store sells adapter harnesses for
most vehicles.
Follow the directions that come with
the adapter harness to connect pow-
er and the speakers.
