Model MXT100
INSTALLING YOUR RADIO
Preparation for Installation
This radio may be installed in any 12-volt negative ground system car or
truck. Most current U.S. and Foreign vehicles use a negative ground
system, but some older models and some newer large trucks may have a
positive ground. Check the specifications for your vehicle before beginning
installation. Generally, you have a negative-ground system if the negative
(-) battery terminal is connected to the motor block. Contact your dealer if
you are unable to determine your vehicle’s polarity system.
1. Read these instructions completely before beginning installation.
2. Read and follow all safety precautions in your vehicle’s Service Manual.
3. Make sure all necessary tools, materials, and parts are on hand.
4. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before installing your radio. Be
sure to reconnect the cable when installation is complete.
5. Determine a mounting location for your radio. The MXT100 is designed
to be installed under the dash or vertically on the center console.
Choose a location that does not impair visibility or interfere with driving.
Also take into consideration the routing and length of the lead wires and
cables to the power source, antenna, and/or optional external speaker.
CAUTION: Extreme care should be exercised when drilling into the
dash to avoid damage to underdash electronic ignition, cruise
control, instrument and/or accessory wiring.
