Radio Face Quick Start Guide
Installation
The factory radio in this vehicle is a two or three-part system consisting of: a radio controller
mounted in the upper-right side of the dash, an optional EQ or tape player located in the center
of the lower dash and the radio receiver box located under the dash just above the gas pedal
area. Before installing, disconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal.
1. Access the radio receiver box by removing the panel just below the steering column. Remove
the two screws located at the bottom corners of the panel, then remove the panel.
2. Locate the receiver box just above the gas pedal. Remove the three screws holding the receiver
box in place. Unplug the radio controller, EQ/cassette unit and main harnesses. Remove the
antenna plug, and then the receiver box.
3. Next locate the controller in the dashboard (located to the upper right of the instrument panel)
Remove the four screws holding the trim bezel, and carefully remove it from around the gauges.
Carefully remove the four screws holding the controller in place, then remove the controller from
the dash.
4. Connect the Face to Body Cable to the Santa Cruz Radio Face and route it from the controller
location to the receiver box location through the opening in the dash.
5. Next, connect the Santa Cruz Radio Face to the RetroSound® radio body (Motor). Plug in the
Face to Body Cable by connecting the ribbon cable to the front of the radio body and the shaft
plugs to the sides of the radio body. While looking down at the radio body with the cables coming
out the back, the imprinted "RetroSound" will be on the top of the radio body chassis. The cable
marked "R" plugs into the input to the right of "RetroSound" on the radio body, and the cable
marked "L" plugs into the left side.
6. Connect the GM Adapter Harness and Antenna Adapter to the Radio Motor. Refer to the Instal-
lation and Assembly Manual on our website for wiring instructions.
7. Using the backstrap, mount your radio body into the receiver box location above the gas pedal.
8. Mount the Santa Cruz Radio Face into the controller location. Reconnect the vehicle's battery
and test the system to ensure everything is connected properly.
9. Replace the trim, bezel and lower dash panel to complete the installation.
