1. Match the wire harnesses of the car’s harnesses to the new stereo harnesses according to the manual. The wire harnesses are plug and play and connectors are unique, so it is easy for you to figure out.

3. If you need to use an external mic or other audio input, you can connect them to the RCA wire harness.

 

4. Turn the power on and test the FM radio and other features of the car stereo. Test the touch screen and sound settings to be sure the speakers are working properly.  

 

5. After testing, if everything is OK, you can push the stereo into place. Mount the car stereo like the way the old radio place.

 

6. Put the dash plate in place.
