Electrical Connections and Installation

Please carefully read all of the instructions before you begin. Carefully follow all instructions. You’ll be glad you did!

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

•If you’re not confident that you can install the unit correctly, have it installed by a qualified Blaupunkt installation technician.

•Use this unit only with negative ground 12 Volt (11-16 Volt) direct current (DC).

•Be sure to detach the faceplate before you start to connect or install the unit.

•We recommend making and testing all electrical connections before installing the unit. Connect the leads (wires) according to instructions and diagram below.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

1.Disconnect the vehicle battery’s negative terminal before making connections.

2.Connect the speakers and/or external amplifiers (if you have any) following the guidelines in the SPEAKER CONNECTION section below.

3.Connect the blue (trigger output) lead to the antenna motor trigger input terminal (if you have one). The total amperage required of the blue lead must not exceed 300 mA. DO NOT connect the blue lead to the antenna’s power supply input.

4.Connect the black (power ground) lead to a grounded metal part on the vehicle. We recommend grounding all audio system black ground leads (head unit, external amplifier, etc.) to a common grounding point, preferably a non-painted surface under the instrument panel.

5.Connect the yellow (constant power) input lead to a source of constant battery power, preferably a terminal to an appropriate slot in the fuse box.

6.Connect the red (turn-on power) input lead only after the other leads are connected. Be sure to connect the red lead to a positive (+) 12 Volt power terminal that is energized only when the ignition key is set to the on position or accessory position.

7.Cover the ends of any unused leads with electrical tape. This will prevent them from touching the vehicle or each other and causing a short-circuit and damage to the radio or vehicle.

8.Reconnect the vehicle’s battery.

9.Verify that no fuses have blown.

10.Plug the harness into the unit.

11.Attach the faceplate and test the unit.

Once the connections have been successfully made, you can begin to mount the unit.
