Using an Adapter Harness

If you are replacing an existing stereo,
or if your vehicle has been factory-
wired for autosound components, you
might be able to use an adapter har-
ness to connect the power and speak-

harnesses for most vehicles.
Follow the directions that come with
the adapter harness to temporarily
connect the power and speakers.
