• When testing the car stereo, connect the red and yellow wires together to the positive side of a 12V power supply, and the black wire to the negative side.

Amplifier Connection: If your car has an external power amplifier and you experience no sound after installation, locate the amplifier's power cable and connect it to the 12V ACC cable of the car stereo. This ensures the amplifier receives power to function correctly.

The "reverse" input cable is equipped with two small antennas to amplify Bluetooth and WiFi signals for improved reception.
