PLEASE OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS WHEN INSTALLING

AND USING THIS UNIT:

This user’s manual does not cover all possible installation scenarios.

If you feel you can’t install this unit yourself, please take it to a local

car audio professional. If you have questions about installing your

radio, contact us at [email protected] or call us

at 888.325.1555.

• Do not disassemble or modify the unit or attempt to

repair the unit yourself. If the unit needs to be repaired,

consult your dealer or Retro Manufacturing directly.

• Do not use the unit when it is out of order. If the unit is out of

order or is in an abnormal state (has foreign objects in it, is

exposed to water, is smoking or smells), turn it off immediately

and consult your dealer or Retro Manufacturing, LLC.

• Refer fuse replacement to qualied service personnel.

When the fuse blows, eliminate the cause and have it

replaced by a qualied service technician with the fuse

prescribed for this unit. Incorrect replacement of the

fuse may lead to smoke, re and damage to the unit.

• If the unit does not turn on, check the connections rst. Then

check the fuse in your vehicle’s fuse box and the fuse at

the unit’s wiring harness. Do not expose the unit to direct

sunlight or excessive heat. Excessive heat will raise the

interior temperature of the unit, which may damage it.

• Do not use the unit where it is exposed to moisture or dust.

Exposure of the unit to moisture or dust may lead to smoke, re

or other damage to the unit and will void your warranty. Make

sure the unit does not get wet in car washes or on rainy days.

PRECAUTIONS

• Refer wiring and installation to qualied service personnel.

Installation of this unit requires special skills and experience. For

maximum safety, have it installed by your dealer or qualied

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 afx 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

• 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 difcult portion of the

installation. Patience and persistence are the keys.

The patented InniMount adjustable shaft system offers almost

unlimited installation options to accommodate your needs.

To begin, locate the two InniMount radio shafts, two InniMount

brackets, two large washers, two small washers and eight

mounting screws (see “What’s in the Box” on page 4).

NOTE: Each InniMount 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 InniMount 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 sufcient 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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).
