This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new Source Unit. Pre-planning your system layout and best wiring routes will save installation time. When deciding on the layout of your new system, be sure that each component will be easily accessible for making adjustments.

CAUTION:If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed by a qualified technician.

CAUTION:Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.

Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:

1.Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install the Unit.

2.For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.

3.For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your Source Unit in place.

4.Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high current wires.

5.Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.

6.Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.

7.Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the best protection.

8.Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.

9.ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with proper fusing. Install the appropriate fuse holder and fuse on the +12V power wire within 18” (45.7 cm) of the battery terminal.

10.When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from the metal to ensure a good, clean ground connection. Grounding connections should be as short as possible and always be connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle.

MOUNTING LOCATIONS

The mounting position of your source unit will have a great effect on the performance of your in-dash CD Player.The source unit can be installed in a wide range of operating locations. However, care should be taken to ensure optimum performance.
