Audiovox P-105 Pre-Installationconsiderations, Installation Instructions, Using A Wiring Adapter

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This unit is designed for installation in GM and Chrysler cars, trucks, and vans with a 1-1/2 DIN radio opening. In some cases, a special installation kit will be required to mount the radio to the dashboard. These kits are available at electronics supply stores and car stereo specialty shops. Always check the kit application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle. If you need a kit but cannot find it available, call our toll-free “HELP” line at 1-800-645-4994.

PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

IMPORTANT: Disconnect the ground cable from the negative terminal of the battery.

a. Dash Disassembly:

NOTE: Locations and types of fasteners will vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle.

Carefully check the dash for all fasteners that may require removal in order to remove the factory radio from the sub-dash.

1.Remove the screws securing the upper and/or lower portion of the dash panel.

2.Remove the screws above the instrument cluster and all screws from the trim panel that may surround the factory radio.

3.Remove the ash tray and open the glove box to see if there are any screws that need to be removed from the dash panel.

Do not discard any screws!

NOTE: The gear shifter may need to be in low gear to allow for dash panel removal.

4.Gently unclip and remove the dash panel. b.Removing the Factory Radio:

1.Remove any hardware securing the factory radio assembly to the sub-dash. Do not discard any hardware!

2.Disconnect the wiring and antenna cable from the factory radio.

c.Removing the Factory Radio Brackets (If Applicable):

1.Remove all nuts that secure the original factory brackets to the radio.

2.Remove and retain the original mounting brackets from the factory radio.

NOTE: Not all radios have removable mounting brackets. For GM radios with non-removable brackets, use the two enclosed. These will satisfy most 1993 and up GM radio mounting applications. If this is not the case, it will be necessary to purchase a special installation kit. Please consult your local car stereo installation shop or consumer electronics store.

d.Check the dashboard opening size by measuring the height and width. If the opening is not large enough,

carefully cut or file as necessary until the opening slightly exceeds the radio size. Check that there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.

NOTE: After confirming fit, place the P-105 aside and proceed with the wiring instructions.

USING A WIRING ADAPTER

The easiest wiring method to connect the P-105 to the vehicle is to buy a wire harness adapter from your dealer, a car stereo installation shop, or an electronics store. If you use a wiring adapter, all wires can be connected to your P-105 even before your old radio is removed from the car.

Connecting the Wires

Splice, crimp or solder the wires from the Audiovox P-105 radio connector to the wiring adapter. Match the wires according to the function vs. color code relationship expressed in the following table, and the wiring adapter instructions.

Attach Wires to Radio (See Figures 1 and 2.)

a.After splicing the wiring adapter to the radio connector, attach the connector to the back of the radio. b. Attach an antenna extender cable (not supplied) and antenna adapter, if needed.

NOTE: The Dimmer function may not work in conjunction with some Chrysler vehicle models. In this case, leave the Dimmer wire disconnected. Radio backlighting will illuminate when radio power is on.
