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
mak-
ing connections
later.
Note: Do not connect
the
power
connector
to
the
stereo
unit until
you
have
made
all
connections.
lf
there are
no
plastic
caps
on the stereo
hooking
wires,
insulate
all
exposed
leads with electrical
tape until
you
are
ready to use
them. ldentify
the
leads in the
following order.
