Cautions

ˎ Run all ground (earth) leads to a common 

ˎ Do not get the leads trapped under a screw or 

caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing).

ˎ Before making connections, turn the car ignition 

off to avoid short circuits.

ˎ Connect the yellow and red power supply leads 

only after all other leads have been connected.

ˎ Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads 

with electrical tape for safety.

ˎ Choose the installation location carefully so that 

the unit will not interfere with normal driving 
operations.

ˎ Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, 

dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature, 
such as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts.

ˎ Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a 

safe and secure installation.

Note on the power supply lead (yellow)
When connecting this unit in combination with other 
stereo components, the amperage rating of the car 
circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher 
than the sum of each component’s fuse amperage 
rating.

Adjust the mounting angle to less than 45°.

Speaker connection

ˎ Before connecting the speakers, turn the unit off.

ˎ Use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 ohms 

and with adequate power handling capacities to 
avoid damage.

Monitor connection

When installing a monitor for the rear seat, connect 
its parking brake switch cord to the ground (earth).

The mounting position of the parking brake 
switch cord depends on your car.
