OEM-1: Cables for Replacing Factory Head Unit

Installation Instructions for Cables on List "A"

The "A" cable is used when replacing a factory radio. The appropriate cable from list "B" is also required. One end of this cable plugs into or connects to your new aftermarket head unit, and the other end plugs into the 18-pin connector of the OEM-1. When using the complete OEM-1 system, the radio will be current protected by the vehicle fuse. The installer must decide to transfer any other fuses or noise filters from the harness provided with the head unit. Use the wire/terminal identification chart below to locate the correct power wires. The low-level inputs are for radios up to 25 watts x 4.

While every effort has been made to ensure this cable was made to connect properly to your aftermarket head unit, changes in models and configurations do occur. To prevent potential damage, consult your stereo's owner's manual and check wire function (as shown below) with that of the head unit you have. Move any wires that are not in the correct pin location for your head unit.

Installation Instructions for Cables on List "B"

The "B" cable is used when replacing a factory radio. The appropriate cable from list "A" is also required. One end of this cable plugs into the vehicle dash harness that was removed from the factory radio.

Cables for Adding or Replacing Factory Amplifier

Installation Instructions for Cables on List "C"

The "C" cable is used when replacing or adding aftermarket amplifiers to a factory amplified system. The cable model # AMP-RCA is also required. This cable plugs in between the factory radio and the dash harness that was removed from the factory radio. The 18-pin connector then plugs into the OEM-1. The factory system remains unchanged using this cable. The ADD-UNV cable is used for universal connection to the vehicle harness for vehicles not listed (splicing required). Audio should be at a low level when using this cable.

Use the AMP-RCA cable connected to the 16-pin connector of the OEM-1 to connect your aftermarket amplifier. The AMP-RCA provides 2 pair of female RCA jacks and a remote turn-on lead.
