How To Install Your Own Car Stereo System

Study these recommendations before you begin the installation in order to give yourself a sense about what to expect.

Installing a car radio receiver inside your vehicle on your own can save you a sizeable amount of money in job and installation prices. When it is done to enhance the acoustic environment of your car or to only change an old program, installing a car stereo receiver could be a rewarding experience. While it may seem a hard job to do, it is actually rather straightforward if following the appropriate directions.

It is a vital step to keep in mind, as failing to do that can result in serious harm during the time you're linking and disconnecting cables. Lose the dash-board cover using a screwdriver and pull the receiver outside slightly to expose the wiring. There should be three wires present: a power wire, an antenna cord and also the main receiver's wiring harness.

The wiring harness makes the link from your car's speakers for the receiver, and allows you to link all of the speakers with a single wiring connection. Connect the speaker wire from each one of the auto's loudspeakers for the harness by twisting the ends of the wire infor the marked spot for each to the harness.

If the original stereo was bolted into the dashboard, you might need to remove the mounting brackets from the sides of it and connect them to the sides of your new stereo.

Unwrap your new receiver from the packaging and carry it as close to the dash as possible. Plug the wiring harness to the back of the receiver, ensuring that the wires are safe before moving forward. Connect the cord and the antenna cable - - they should readily plug straight into the back of the receiver.

Slide the receiver into the opening on the dashboard. Before you reconnect the screws for the dash, reconnect the negative cable to your car's battery. Change the car on and ensure everything works and that every one of the loudspeakers provides sound. Once you've seen everything function properly, fasten the stereo set up with your screwdriver and reattach the outer portion of the dashboard.
