• Refer wiring and installation to qualied service personnel.
Installation of this unit requires special skills and experience. For
maximum safety, have it installed by your dealer or qualied
service professional. Retro Manufacturing is not liable for any
problems resulting from installation of the unit. Please be sure to
follow the instructions carefully before attempting installation.
• Follow instructions to wire the unit. Failure to follow
the instructions could damage the unit, cause injury,
accidents or re.
• Be careful not to damage the leads. Prevent them from
being caught in the vehicle chassis or from being damaged
by screws or moving parts such as seat rails. Do not scratch,
pull, bend or twist the leads. Do not install them near heat
sources or place heavy objects on them. If leads must
be routed around sharp metal edges, protect them by
winding them with vinyl tape or similar protections.
NOTE: cutting the main wiring harness, antenna lead or auxiliary cables
will void the warranty of your radio.
• Use the designated parts and appropriate tools
to install this unit. The use of parts other than those
supplied may result in internal damage to the unit.
• Do not interfere with safety-related vehicle components.
Do not wire or afx this unit to the fuel tank, brakes,
suspension, steering wheel, pedals, etc. Check for electric
wiring, piping and other items before installing the unit.
• Never install the unit in a location where it
interferes with your eld of vision.
PRECAUTIONS
7
• Never splice into the power lead to supply
other equipment with power.
• After installation and wiring you should check the
normal operation of other electrical equipment.
• Make sure any leads do not interfere with driving
or getting into and out of the vehicle.
• Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short-circuiting.
• Do not operate the unit for prolonged periods with
the engine off. Operating the audio system with
the engine turned off will drain the battery.
• To prevent accidents, keep the volume of your radio
at a level at which you can hear outside noises such as
emergency sirens and train crossing warnings. Prolonged
exposure to high volume levels may result in hearing loss.
• This unit requires 12 volts to both the red and yellow power leads.
The unit will not work without power to both of these leads.
• Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before beginning
installation. Verify the battery ground by checking that one
wire is connected to the vehicle’s starter mounting bolt or
engine block and the other to the vehicle’s chassis using at
least 8 gauge wire. Make sure the alternator or generator
connections are secure and free from corrosion, rust or dirt.
• This unit is designed for operation with a negative ground
12 volt DC battery system. Do not operate this unit with other
battery systems, especially an 18 or 24 volt DC battery system
or a positive ground system. If you have a 6 volt system, you
need to either convert to 12 volt DC or purchase a separate
inverter that would increase the voltage to 12 volts.
NOTE: The inverter needs to be rated a 10 amps or higher in order
for the radio to operate properly.
PRECAUTIONS

NOTE: Adjusting for a perfect t into your dash is the most difcult portion of the
installation. Patience and persistence are the keys.
The patented InniMount adjustable shaft system offers almost
unlimited installation options to accommodate your needs.
To begin, locate the two InniMount radio shafts, two InniMount
brackets, two large washers, two small washers and eight
mounting screws (see “What’s in the Box” on page 4).
NOTE: Each InniMount bracket is stamped with an insignia: when looking from the
front of the radio, the bracket stamped “R” mounts to the right side of the radio and
the bracket stamped “L” mounts to the left side of the radio.
STEP 1: INSTALL INFINIMOUNT BRACKETS
Attach each InniMount bracket to the correct matching side of
the radio using the supplied screws. Before tightening the screws,
you can adjust the brackets forward or backward, or you may
rotate them to achieve the perfect t. Complete the assembly
with two or four screws tightened on each side.
NOTE: In some installations the brackets must be moved far enough forward or
backwards that only two screws will align with the threaded openings of the radio.
Two screws are sufcient to hold the brackets in place.
NOTE: You may need to cut, trim or bend the brackets to achieve a perfect t.
This will NOT void your warranty.

STEP 3: MOUNT INFINIMOUNT SHAFTS TO BRACKETS
To match the location of your shafts to the proper width of your
vehicle’s dash, rst measure the distance between your existing shaft
holes from center to center.
Mount a shaft to each bracket using the supplied shaft nuts
and washers. Finger tighten the shaft nuts to prepare for the nal
installation (see Figure 2). Once you ensure proper width, tighten
the screws and nuts (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN).
DAMAGE FROM OVERTIGHTENING WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Finally, plug the shafts into each side of the main unit (see Figure 3).
