Stereo, Wire cutters, Tape, Screwdriver, Wire Strippers, Electrical tape, Wire strippers
Procedures:
1. Take out the old stereo. Unlink the negative cable from the battery.
2. Take off the front paneling of the dashboard.
 Use the screwdriver to remove the old stereo.
 Look at the wiring. If the wiring is individually linked, undo every wire by itself.
3. Place the connector in your wiring harness.
 It connects at the rear of the stereo.
 Connecting the Wiring Manually
4. Attach every wire if you are not using a harness
5. Link the positive wire to the connector located on the stereo.
 Do the same for the negative wire.
 If you have one wire from your speaker then, you need new speaker wiring. This
is very important.
6. Take the black wire and link it to the stereo. You can use a screw that is close to the
radio inside the dashboard. The wiring should be wrapped around metal.
7. Link the red ignition and 12 constant wiring to the stereo. Use the stereo manual to
make sure you are putting these in the correct location.
8. Your connector should be housing all the wiring you need through a harness. You
could purchase it separately or use the one that comes with the stereo.

single wire to attach from the previous system at this point. This wire is your antenna
wire. Attach it to the stereo. If there is a power antenna wire link it as well.

radio and replace the dashboard cover.
