WELCOME Thank you for purchasing a RetroSound® SiriusXM-Ready™ radio. Motor 4 has the advanced features you expect from a modern car stereo. The RetroSound® radio consists of two main parts: the radio face and the Motor 4 body.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX The items shown below are packaged with your Motor 4 box. Main Wiring Harness Power and Speaker (plugs into back of radio) Wiring Harnesses Motor 4 Radio Body Bluetooth® Microphone (both plug into Main Wiring Harness) Metal Mounting Back Strap Plastic Washer Kit InfiniMount Brackets Bracket Mounting Hardware and Hardware The items shown below are packaged with your radio face box.
PRECAUTIONS PLEASE OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS WHEN INSTALLING AND USING THIS UNIT: This user’s manual does not cover all possible installation scenarios. If you feel you can’t install this unit yourself, take it to a local car audio professional. If you have questions about installing your radio, contact us at tech@retromanufacturing.com or by calling 888.325.1555. • Do not disassemble or modify the unit or attempt to repair the unit yourself.
PRECAUTIONS • Refer wiring and installation to qualified service personnel. Installation of this unit requires special skills and experience. Retro Manufacturing, LLC is not liable for any problems resulting from improper installation of the unit. Please be sure to follow the instructions carefully while attempting installation. • Follow the instructions to wire the unit. Failure to follow the instructions could cause damage to the unit, fire, injury or death. • Be careful not to damage the leads.
PRECAUTIONS • Never splice into the power lead to supply other equipment with power. • After installation and wiring, always check the normal operation of other electrical equipment. • Make sure that no wires interfere with driving or getting in and out of the vehicle. • Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short-circuiting or electric shock. • Do not operate the unit for prolonged periods with the engine off. Prolonged operation with the engine turned off will drain the battery.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1: Install the Radio Face Plug the ribbon cable included with the Motor 4 radio body into the radio face. After plugging in the radio face, attach it to the radio body (if it is not already attached) and tighten with the four radio face mounting screws provided in the radio face box (the screws are very small and are included in the hardware kit included with your Motor 4 box). The RetroSound® logo on the Motor 4 radio body should be facing upwards.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS STEP 2: Install InfiniMount Brackets Attach each InfiniMount bracket to the correct side of the radio body using the supplied screws (the brackets are marked with a “L” for left and a “R” for right). Before tightening the screws, you need to adjust the brackets up, down, forward or backward (see Figure 2). You may also rotate, cut, or bend the brackets to achieve the perfect fit. Complete the assembly with at least two screws tightened on each side.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS STEP 3: Mount Shafts to Brackets To match the the location of your shafts to the proper width of your vehicle’s dash, measure the distance between your existing shaft holes from center to center. Mount a shaft to each bracket using the supplied shaft nuts and washers. Finger tighten the shaft nuts to prepare for the final installation (see Figure 3). Once you ensure the proper width, snug down the screws and nuts (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS STEP 4: Complete Wiring Connections SIRIUSXM INPUT Figure 5 - Wiring Diagram NOTE: Cutting the wiring harness, antenna lead or auxiliary cable will void your warranty.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: This unit requires +12 volts to both the red and yellow wires to operate properly. Locate the three wiring harnesses: main wiring harness, power wiring harness and speaker wiring harness (see “What’s in the Box” on page 4). First connect the main wiring harness to the back of the radio body. Then connect both the power and speaker wiring harnesses to the black female plug of the main wiring harness.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Rear USB Inputs Two USB connector cables are located at the rear of the radio body. During installation, you must route the cables to an accessible location. NOTE: If the USB cables provided are not long enough, you may use our USB/AUX Extension Cable (sold separately) to extend the reach of one cable. This cable also allows the installation of one USB and auxiliary port into the factory location of the cigarette lighter for a factory look and easy access.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS THE SHAFTS ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE RADIO. FAILURE TO SECURE THE RADIO WITH THE BACKSTRAP CAN DAMAGE YOUR SHAFTS AND WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. Figure 6 - Installing the Backstrap View from behind dash Finally, slide the rear knobs over the shafts, rotating them into the correct position, and push them into place. Mount the front knobs by gently pressing them onto the shaft. DO NOT PRESS TOO HARD.

SIRIUSXM TROUBLESHOOTING If SiriusXM does not appear to be functioning properly and one of these advisory messages appears on the display, try some of these troubleshooting tips. CHK TNR (Check Tuner) This message indicates an issue with your SiriusXM Connect Tuner.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Cause Action to Solve Problem Radio will not turn on (no lights, no sound) 12 volt Batt+ wire not connected or incorrect voltage Check all connections for proper voltage with a volt meter.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Do your radios work on 6 volt systems or on positive ground systems? No. Our radios are 12 volt, negative ground only. After-market converters and inverters are available but must have at least 10 amps of continuous output. I’m having problems getting the radio to turn on. RetroSound® radios require 12 volts to both power leads. The red lead (+12 volt accessory) goes to a switched power source, and the yellow to a constant +12 volt power source.
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.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS I have your radio with an amp connected, but hear a whining/buzzing sound through the speakers when I step on the accelerator. If you have an external amplifier installed and experience a highpitched noise that varies with the engine’s RPM, there are many possible solutions: • Make sure the amplifier’s gain controls are not turned all the way up. Amplifiers amplify everything, including noise. • Try grounding the amplifier near where it is installed.
SPECIFICATIONS FM Tuning Range (USA, EUR, AUS, JAP, RUS tuning capable) with RDS Antenna Terminal 87.5-107.9MHz External Antenna Connector Usable Sensitivity 12.5 dBf Selectivity 75 dB @ 400kHz Signal to Noise Ratio 62 dB (stereo), 67 dB (mono) Harmonic Distortion @ 1 kHz 0.8% (stereo), 0.
