resulting from improper installation of the unit. Please be sure
to follow the instructions carefully while attempting installation.
• Follow the instructions to wire the unit. Failure to follow the

PRECAUTIONS
• Never splice into the power lead to supply other equipment
with power.
• After installation and wiring, always check the normal operation
of other electrical equipment.
• Make sure that no wires interfere with driving or entering/exiting
of the vehicle.
• Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short-circuiting or electric shock.
• Do not operate the unit for prolonged periods with the engine off.
Prolonged operation with the engine turned off will drain the
battery.
• Keep the volume of your radio at a level that allows you to 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 12-volts to both of these leads.
• Always 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 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 at 10 amps or higher in order for the radio to
operate properly.

STEP 1: Install the Radio Face
Plug the ribbon cable (included with the Motor) into the front
of the Motor radio body and the back of the radio face. After
doing this, attach the radio face to the front of the radio body
using the four radio face mounting screws provided in the
radio face box.
The RetroSound®logo on the Motor radio body should be facing
upwards. Make sure to not install the face to the body upside down.
NOTE: Optionally, the radio face can be mounted remotely up to nine feet away
from the Motor radio body using an optional Face to Body Extension Cable (sold
separately). In some installation applications, a bracket (not included) can be used
to mount the radio face to the radio body at an angle.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 2: Install InfiniMount Brackets
Attach each InniMount bracket to the correct side of the radio
using the supplied screws. Before tightening the screws, you need
to adjust the brackets up, down, forward or backward. You may
also rotate, cut, or bend the brackets to achieve the perfect t
(See Figure 2). Complete the assembly with at least two screws
tightened on each side.
NOTE: In some installations the brackets must be moved far enough forward or
backwards or rotated so that only two screws will align with the threaded screw holes
on the radio. Two screws are sufcient to hold the brackets in place.
You may need to cut, trim or bend the brackets to achieve a perfect t. You can
even drill new mounting holes into the bracket if you need to. The InniMount system is
designed to be modied. Modifying your brackets will NOT void your warranty.

vehicle’s dash, rst measure the distance between your existing shaft
holes from center to center.

and washers. Finger tighten the shaft nuts to prepare for the nal
installation (See Figure 3). Once you ensure proper width, tighten
the screws and nuts (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN).
OVERTIGHTENING THE SHAFT NUTS WILL DAMAGE THE SHAFTS.
