CJ Identify All Leads
The first step in installation is to identify all the
vehicle wires you'll use when hooking up your
sound system.
As you identify each wire, we suggest that you
label it using masking tape and a permanent
marker. This will help avoid confusion when
making connections later.
Note: Do not connect the power connector to the
stereo unit until you have made all connections.
If there are no plastic caps on the stereo hooking
wires, insulate all exposed leads with electrical
tape until you are ready to use them. identify the
leads in the following order.
Power Lead
If your vehicle has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
Cut the connector plug off (leaving the leads as
long as possible) so that you can work with
individual leads.
i=
Turn the ignition on to the accessory position, and
ground one lead of the test bulb to the chassis.
Touch the order lead of the test bulb to each of
the exposed wires from the cut radio connector
plug. Touch one wire at a time until you find the
outlet that causes the test bulb to light.
Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb
also turns off and on, that outlet is the vehicle
power lead.
lf your vehicle is not wired for an audio unit:
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for
radio (RADIO), accessory (ACC), or ignition
(IGN).
Battery Lead
if your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will need
to locate the car's battery lead. Otherwise you
- may ignore this procedure. (The yellow battery
lead provides continuous power to maintain a
clock, memory storage, or other function.)
if your vehicle has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
With the ignition and headlights off, identify the
car battery lead by grounding one lead of the test
bulb to the chassis and checking the remaining
exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.
If your vehicle is not wired for an audio unit:
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the
battery, usually marked BAT.
Speakers
identify the car speaker leads. There will be two
leads for each speaker, usually color coded.
À handy way to identify the speaker leads and the
speaker they connect with is to test the leads
using a 1.5 volt AA battery as follows.
Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and
stroke the other lead across the other pole. You
will hear a scraping sound in a speaker if you are
holding a speaker lead.
If not, keep testing different lead combinations
until you have located all the speaker leads.
When you label them, include the speaker
location for each.
Antenna Motor
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
power antenna, identify the vehicle motor
antenna lead by connecting one bulb tester lead
to the vehicle battery lead and touching the
remaining exposed wires from the cut radio
connector plug one at a time. You will hear the
antenna motor activate when you touch the
correct wire.
Antenna
The antenna lead is a thick, black wire with a
metal plug at the end.

O Connect All Leads
Now that you have identified all the wires in the
vehicle, you’re ready to begin connecting them to
the stereo unit wires. The connection diagram on
Page 24 show the proper connections and color
coding of the leads.
We strongly recommend that you test the unit
before making a final installation.
You can set the unit on the floor and make
temporary connections to test the unit. Use
electrical tape to cover all exposed wires.
Important: Connect the red power lead last, after
you have made and insulated all other
connections.
Ground
Connect the black ground lead of the power
connector to the metal vehicle chassis.
Speakers
Connect the speaker wires. See the wiring
diagram below for the proper hookups. Follow the
diagram carefully to avoid damaging the speakers
and the stereo unit.
The speakers used must be able to handle more
than 40 watts of audio power. If using an optional
audio amplifier, the speakers should be able to
handie the maximum amplifier output power.
Speakers with low input ratings can be damaged.
Speaker impedance should measure 4 - 8 ohms,
which is typically marked on most speakers.
Lower or higher impedance speakers will affect
output and can cause both speaker and stereo
unit damage.
Caution: Never ground the speaker cords. For
example, do not use a chassis ground system or
a three-wire speaker common system. Each
speaker must be connected separately using
paraliel insulated wires. If in doubt about how
your cars speakers are wired, please consult with
your nearest professional installer.
Motor Antenna
Connect the vehicle motor antenna lead to the
blue motor antenna relay control lead.
CQ-DP940/930EUC
Battery
Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct
radio wire or to the battery fuse port on the fuse
block.
Antenna
Connect the antenna by plugging the antenna
lead into the antenna receptacle.
Equipment
Connect any optional equipment such as
amplifier, according to the instructions furnished
with the equipment. Keep about 12 inches (30
cm) of distance between the speaker
cords/amplifier unit and the antenna/antenna
extension cord. Read the operating and
installation instructions for any equipment you will
connect to this unit.
Power
Connect the red power lead to the correct vehicle
radio wire or to the appropriate fuse port on the
fuse block.
If the stereo unit functions properly with all these
connections made, disconnect the wires and
proceed to the final installation.
O Final Installation
Lead Connections
Connect all wires, making sure that each
connection is insulated and secure. Bundle all
loose wires and fasten them with tape so they
won't fall down later. Now insert the stereo unit
into the mounting collar.
Congratulations! After making a few final checks,
you're ready to enjoy your new auto stereo
system.
O Final Checks
1. Make sure that all wires are properly
connected and insulated.
2. Make sure that the stereo unit is securely held
in the mounting collar.
3. Turn on the ignition to check the unit for proper
operation.
If you have difficulties, consult your nearest
authorized professional installer for assistance.
