Installation

Before You Begin Installation

Before you begin, you will need tools, supplies and adapters. It is best to make sure you have
everything you need before you take your dashboard apart.

Tools and Supplies Needed

• Torx type screwdrivers
• Flat and Phillips screwdrivers
• Wire cutters
• Wire strippers
• Tools to remove existing radio (screw-
driver, socket wrench set or other tools)
• Radio removal tool (FORD vehicles)
• Electrical tape
• Crimping tool
• Volt meter/12 volt test light
• Crimp connectors
• 18 gauge wire for power connections
• 16-18 gauge speaker wire

Speaker Requirements

Only connect the CD511K to speakers rated in
the load impedance range of 4 to 8 ohms.
Speakers with a load impedance less than 4
ohms could damage the CD511K.

Adapters for Easier Installation

Electrical and dashboard adapters make
installation easier. Purchase adapters from
your local Jensen retailer, electronics store or
car stereo specialty store.
Wiring Harness Adapter
For a basic installation, you can purchase a
wiring harness adapter for your car's existing
radio connectors. This makes installation easy.
Dashboard Adapters
The opening in your dashboard may not match
the size of your Jensen radio. Purchase an
adapter kit for your car.
Antenna Adapter (GM vehicles)
1990 and newer GM cars have a small
antenna connector. You will need an adapter
when installing this radio in a newer GM car.

Disconnect Battery

Before you begin, always
disconnect the battery
negative terminal.
