The car's audio system cannot work without a central control, the so-called head unit. Installing car radios is usually not a very difficult task, and therefore almost any vehicle owner can do it himself, especially if he had previous experience with any electronics.
Almost all modern car radios are equipped with a standardized ISO type connector. And thus, there are three installation options, depending on which connector is present in the car. The car may already have an ISO plug, there may be a connector of a different standard, and finally, the car may not have any plug at all.
The first option is the easiest, when the manufacturer has already provided for the presence of an ISO connector in the vehicle, as a rule, these are new cars. In this case, the installation of the car radio comes down to inserting the existing plug into the socket of the head unit, checking its operation and installing the radio into the seat through a special adapter frame, which usually comes with the deviceor directly, then fixing the receiver with bolts or in another way provided.
Second option: installing a car radio in a car that has a non-standardized connector, usually foreign cars manufactured from 1990 to 2004, almost every company developed its own type of connector, which was equipped with cars produced under this brand. In this case, there will be no problems either, for example, many electrical stores sell Toyota-ISO or BMW-ISO adapters, in which case you just buy an adapter for your brand of car, connect one end to the factory connector, the other to the car radio, check the operation and fix the device in the seat. This completes the installation of the car radio.
The third option, when there is no wiring, is used cars, most often domestic production, on which the car radio is installed for the first time. You will have to purchase an ISO connector and wire it yourself according to the pinout of the receiver you bought and the color code of the wires. "+12V" yellow, goes to the positive terminal of the battery through a 10-amp fuse. "ACC" red, plus from the ignition switch. "ANT" white, antenna control, it is also connected to it. "GLD" black, minus, connects to the car body. The rest of the wires go to the acoustics, the first letter: F - front, R - back, the second letter: L-left, R-right. Each speaker has two wires plus and minus. Having connected all the cables to the ISO chip,follow the instructions for the first option.
Before starting all work, do not forget to remove the terminal from the positive terminal of the battery, in case of a short circuit, this will prevent damage to the car radio. Do-it-yourself installation allows you to save money, but in case of equipment damage due to improper installation, no one will pay you for repairs. And while installing a car radio is usually easy, if you're having trouble, take it to a specialized audio installation center.
