SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Secure the CD/MP3 player.
When installing your CD/MP3 player in the vehicle, make sure it is mounted properly in the
dash, using an after market installation kit if needed. When using the supplied mounting
bracket, it is a must that you also use the supplied back brace to support the back of the
CD/MP3 player.
Use caution when mounting the CD/MP3 player.
Remember there are many electrical wires, vacuum lines, brake lines and air bag deployment
wires. Make sure you know where they are when mounting the CD/MP3 player to avoid
puncturinglines,andshortingwires.
Use high grade wire connectors.
To ensure maximum power transfer and secure safe connections, it is recommended to use
highgradebarrelorcrimpcapconnectors.
Do not run any wires underneath the vehicle.
Exposedwires can be cut ordamaged. It is best to runall wires through the vehicleunder the
carpetand/orsidepanels. Thisenablestoacleanerinstallationandlessriskofdamage.
Run signal wires away from electrical wires.
To avoid possibility of induced noise from the car's electrical system (i.e. popping noises or
enginenoise),runsignalwiresawayfromthecar'selectricalwiring.
Make all ground wires as short as possible and terminated at the same point.
In order to reduce the chance of ground loops (i.e. engine noise), make the grounded wire as
shortas possible to reducethewire'sresistance. Also, when using multiple components,make
sureallunitsaregroundedatthesamepoint.
Avoid sharp edges when running the wires.
