Mark Polarity of the Speaker Wires
Marking the polarity of the speaker wirers will make it easier to connect the
existing speakers to your car radio. Consult wiring diagram of existing head unit
before disconnecting any wires. If you are not positive of the polarity of the exist-
ing wires from the speakers to the head unit, install new wires.
1. While the old unit is playing, disconnect the wires from one speaker.
2. Take a length of masking tape and fold it around the wire so it forms a flag.
3. On the masking tape mark the polarity of the speaker wires (+&-), as well as
left or right, and front or rear.
4. Double check that you marked the first speaker correctly by checking that the
speaker wires are the same at the head unit.
5. Repeat this procedure for all of the speakers.
6. Mark the power, ground, and any other wires also.
2. Insert the keys supplied with the
old unit into both sides of the unit
as shown in figure below until
they click. Pull to remove the old
unit from the dashboard.
