Installation Procedure
S
tep 1: The radio chassis is designed to be “Sleeve
Mounted” through a opening in the dashboard panel.
The required opening size is 182mm (7-3/16") x
84mm (3-5/16"). Cut or enlarged an opening in the
dashboard to accommodate the mounting sleeve.
Step 2: If you are replacing an existing factory
installed radio, an adapter harness might be avail-
able for your vehicle to eliminate the need for cut-
ting your factory wiring. Contact Radio Shack or
other car stereo installation centers for the availabil-
ity of a harness for your vehicle.
Step 3: Insert the mounting sleeve into the hole in
the dashboard. Bend the metal tabs on the sleeve to
secure the mounting sleeve to the dashboard.
Step 4: Bring all wiring for the connection of the unit
(including the antenna) through the center of the
mounting sleeve. Connect the wiring as follows:
Yellow Wire (w/Fuse): Connect this wire to a con-
stant +12 volt power source (a power source that is
not controlled by the ignition key).
Red Wire: Connect this wire to a switched +12 volt
power source (a power source turned on and off by
the ignition key).
Blue Wire: Connect this wire to the (+) power
antenna activation circuit. If no power antenna
exists, tape-off the end of this wire to prevent short-
ing out the unit.

vehicle (ground). This wire is the chassis grounding
wire for the unit.

speakers. If the installation only requires (2) two
speakers, use the White and Gray wire sets to con-
nect the speakers.
