1.Disconnect the cable from your vehicle’s negative (– ) battery termi- nal.

2.Connect the black ground wire to a chassis ground, such as a metal screw attached to a metal part of the vehicle’s frame. Be sure the screw is not insulated from the chassis by a plastic or rubber part.

3.Connect the red +12V To Ignition wire (with in-line fuse holder) to a point in your vehicle’s fuse block that has power only when you turn the vehi- cle’s key to either the accessory (ACC) or START position.

This connection turns on the stereo when you turn on the ignition or turn the key to ACC, and turns off the stereo when you turn off the ignition. This prevents your vehicle’s battery from being drained if you leave the stereo on when you turn off the igni- tion.

4.Connect the yellow +12V To Battery wire (with in-line fuse holder) to your

vehicle’s positive (+) battery termi- nal or to a point in your vehicle’s fuse block that provides a continu- ous source of 12 volts. This connec- tion provides power for the stereo’s components (such as the clock), and continuous power for the ste- reo’s memory when the ignition is off.

5.Connect the blue/white wire to any optional equipment (designed to run from a switched source) that you want the stereo to turn on and off (such as a remote amplifier or a power antenna).

This wire does not provide power to the components. It simply turns them on or off. If you do not use this wire, secure it with a wire tie and do not let it touch metal.

Note: To connect an optional amplifier., use the line out connectors on the back of your car stereo and follow the instruc- tions in the amplifier’s owner’s manual.
