Antenna wiring for first time antenna installation

Radios with switched antenna wire

Connect blue wire from antenna to the switched antenna wire from radio (normally blue) as shown in diagram 2. Connect coaxial cable from antenna to radio. We recommend a qualified technician, such as an Installer Institute graduate to make the radio modification found in diagram 4, figure B.

Radios without switched antenna wire

Remove radio from car and remove radio top or back cover to gain access to radio volume control/power switch. Solder wire as shown in diagram 3. Reassemble radio top or back cover. Then reinstall radio in vehicle. Connect the new wire from the radio to the green wire from the antenna. Connect coaxial cable from antenna to radio.

The red power wire from antenna can be connected at fuse block, (as shown in diagram 2), battery, or hot side of ignition switch or any other + 12 volt "constant on" location.

Antenna trimmer adjustment (for non-digital radios)

With antenna fully extended and radio turned to a weak AM station around 1400KHz, tune trimmer with screwdriver for maximum volume. See radio owner's manual for location of antenna trimmer. Digital radios do not require trimming.
