Cautions
•Run all ground (earth) leads to a
common ground (earth) point.
•Do not get the leads trapped under a
screw, or caught in moving parts (e.g., seat
railing).
•Before making connections, turn the car
ignition off to avoid short circuits.
•Connecttheyellow and red power supply
leads only after all other leads have been
connected.
•Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected
leads with electrical tape for safety.
• Choose theinstallation location carefully so
that the unit will not interfere with normal
driving operations.
•Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to
dust, dirt,excessive vibration, orhigh
temperature, such asindirect sunlight or
near heater ducts.
•Use only the supplied mounting hardware
for a safe andsecure installation.
Note on the power supply lead (yellow)
When connecting this unit in combination with
other stereo components, the amperage rating of
the car circuit towhich the unitisconnected must
be higher than the sumof each component’s fuse
amperage rating.
Note on installing in cars with a start-stop
system
The unit may restart when starting the engine from
start-stop. In this case, turn off the start-stop system
of your car.
Mounting angle adjustment
Adjust the mounting angle to less than 30°.

To the +12 V power terminal which is
energized when the ignition switch is
set to the accessory position
If there is no accessory position, connect
to the +12 V power (battery) terminal
which is energized at all times.
Be sure to first connect the black ground
(earth) lead to a common ground (earth)
point.
To the power antenna (aerial) control

To AMP REMOTE IN of an optional
power amplifier
This connection is only for amplifiers and
a power antenna (aerial). Connecting any
other system may damage the unit.
To a car’s illumination signal
Be sure to first connect the black ground

When the amperage rating of the fuse used
on your car is 10 A, make the power
connection to the battery directly to avoid
short circuits.
to a metal point of car
to the positive battery terminal
Notes
• Despite connecting to the power supply lead of
the car, the unit may not fully provide its
performance due to insufficient power. In this
case, make the power connection to the battery
directly.
• All power wires connected to the positive battery
post should be fused within 450 mm (18 in) of the
battery post, and before they pass through any
metal.
• Make sure that the car’s battery wires connected
to the car (ground (earth) to chassis)* are of a wire
gauge at least equal to that of the main power
wire connected from the battery to the head unit.
• During full-power operation, a current of more
than 15 A will run through the system. Therefore,
make sure that the wires to be connected to the
+12 V and GND terminals of this unit are at least
14-Gauge (AWG14) or have a sectional area of
more than 2mm² (3/32 in).
When making the speaker parallel connection,
use wires with more than 12-Gauge (AWG12) or
wire that have a sectional area of more than 3.5
mm² (5/32 in).
If you have any questions or problems
concerning the connection, consult the
dealer for details.
