Model MXT575
INSTALLING YOUR RADIO
Preparation for Installation
This radio may be installed in any 12-volt negative ground system vehicle.
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 specications 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.
• Read these instructions completely before beginning installation.
• Read and follow all safety precautions in your vehicle’s Service
Manual.
• Make sure all necessary tools, materials, and parts are on hand.
• Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before installing your radio.
Be sure to reconnect the cable when installation is complete.
• Determine a mounting location for your radio. The MXT575 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 option
al external speaker.
CAUTION: Extreme care should be exercised when drilling into the dash
to avoid damage to under dash electronic ignition, cruise
control, instrument and/or accessory wiring.
