120-2155 stereos. (You can find the Cat. No. of your model on the top of the stereo.) 120-2154 has a LOUD button while 120-2155 has an FSM button. Unless otherwise noted, these are the primary differences between the two units listed.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE INSTALLATION

Before you install your stereo, read all the instructions in this owner's manual. You should be able to answer all of these questions about your vehicle's electrical and sound systems.

Which terminal in my vehicle's fuse box supplies power even when the ignition is turned off?

Which terminal in my vehicle's fuse box is for accessories?

How do I connect a wire to the fuse box?

Also, be aware that installation in your vehicle might require cutting or modifying your vehicle.

Place the stereo as close as possible to the selected mounting location. We recommend that you install the stereo by temporarily connecting it to ground and power, optional components, and your speakers. Then test the connections, disconnect the stereo, mount it in your vehicle, and reconnect it. The instructions in this manual are arranged in this order.

Preparing the Mounting Area

Before you mount the stereo, make sure you have all the necessary materials. Then confirm that the stereo fits your vehicle's mounting area. This autosound stereo system is a DIN-E size unit that requires a 2-inch high by 7-1/2-wide by 7-1/4 inch deep (57 x 190 x 186 mm) mounting area.

Note: If the mounting area is too large, you might be able to mount the stereo with an in-dash installation kit, available at your local RadioShack store. Follow the installation kit's instructions to mount the stereo.

CAUTIONS: Make sure the stereo will not tilt up more than 30 degrees when
