• How do I know which kit fits my car?

  American International offers a vehicle fitment guide, often accessible through the PAC Audio or AAMP Global websites, which allows you to select your year, make, and model to find the compatible dash kit and wiring harness.

• What do the wire colors on the harness signify?

  The wiring harnesses typically follow the EIA standard color codes: Yellow (Constant 12V), Red (Accessory 12V), Black (Ground), Blue (Antenna/Amp Turn-on), and Orange (Illumination), plus standard pairs for speakers.

• Do I need to modify my dashboard to install these kits?

  Most kits are designed to fit without permanent modification, but some installations may require removing specific plastic tabs or sub-dash trimming. Always follow the specific instruction manual included with your kit model.

• Where can I get technical support for my installation?

  Technical support is provided by AAMP Global. You can reach them via email at support@aampglobal.com or by calling their customer help line at 800-323-4329.

• What if my new radio doesn't fit the opening?

  Ensure you are using the correct ISO mount brackets or DIN sleeve provided in the kit. Verify that all unnecessary mounting tabs have been removed from the side brackets as per the instructions for your specific vehicle.
