Page 1 WHERE TO INSTALL THE CHANGER The changer included in your ACC-50A is designed for either horizontal (flat) or vertical (upright) mounting. The only precaution is it must never be more than 15° from vertical or horizontal (see page 3). A few of the many possibilities are shown below. The following must be considered when selecting the mounting location: 1 Fuel Tank - Never install above your fuel tank as the holes you must drill may pierce the tank or the fuel lines. Also . check for other obstructions such as wires, etc. 2 Excessive Heat - Avoid areas exposed to direct sunlight (on top of rear package shelf) or next to your car heater's output . ducts. 3 Ease of Use - Make certain the changer is easily accessible for loading and unloading the CD magazine. . 4 Distance - The data cable that joins the changer to the FM module is 15 feet long. Do not exceed this length. . 5 If mounting to a plastic surface, do not use the self-tapping screws provided. Use the bolts and hex nuts provided for . a more secure installation. IMPORTANT - Failure to properly secure the CD changer is the most common cause of all "skipping" and related CD play problems. Changer must be mounted as explained on the following pages. MOUNT ON SIDE OF TRUNK SIDEWALL MOUNT UNDER LIP OF TRUNK TRUNK MOUNTING (SEDANS) This is usually the easiest location to use as there is ample space available. Check that you do not interfere with the removal of your spare tire, etc. Observe caution on fuel tank stated above. The only negative aspect is the need to route the wiring from the trunk to your car dashboard. MOUNT ON FLOOR OF TRUNK MOUNT ON SIDEWALL OF CARGO AREA HATCHBACKS,WAGONS&VANS A simple investigation of the areas shown will often provide several possibilities. Observe caution on fuel tank stated above and make sure the unit is protected from cargo, passenger entry and exit, etc. MOUNT ON BACKWALL OF HATCH AREA UNDER PASSENGER'S FRONT SEAT/BEHIND SEAT If sufficient space and easy access exist, the area under the passenger's front seat is ideal, and will also allow easy wiring access. However, you may need to temporarily remove the seat for ease of installation. The area behind either the passenger's or driver's seat on pickup trucks is another ideal location.

Use it to plan your wire routing paths and possible connection points. Detailed wiring is explained in the following pages. EXISTING CAR RADIO ANTENNA CABLE ANTENNA INPUT ANTENNA OUTPUT FM MODULE EXISTING CAR RADIO ANTENNA SOCKET GREEN/WHITE POWER WIRE CONNECT TO SOURCE OF CONSTANT +12 VOLTS BLACK EXISTING CAR STEREO ORANGE/WHITE WIRE GROUND WIRE CONNECT AT THE CAR'S FUSEBLOCK AT THE "RADIO" OR "ACCESSORY" IDENTIFIED TERMINALS REMOTE CONTROL DATA CABLE (15 FEET) REMOTE CONTROL CABLE (4-1/2 FEET) CHANGER NOTE: When routing wires and cables from the rear of the car to the dashboard, it is best to conceal the wires under carpeting. If you do not know how to do this, your local auto mechanic or car stereo installer should be consulted. Page 7 WIRING THE CD CHANGER There is one cable to connect the changer to the FM module as explained below. FM MODULE DATA CABLE The 15 foot data cable connects the changer to the FM module. First connect the end of the data cable labelled "TO CD CHANGER" to the socket on the left side of the changer. Route the other end of the cable up to the car's dashboard area near your existing car radio and plug the data cable into the mating socket on the end of the FM module. 15 FOOT DATA CABLE "TO CD CHANGER" LABEL WIRING THE FM MODULE The FM module should be positioned near your existing car stereo and the 15 foot data cable should be connected to it. Make the following connections to the FM module. CAR FUSEBLOCK "RADIO" OR "ACCESSORY" TERMINAL FM MODULE ORANGE WITH STRIPEWIRE WHITE Attached to the FM module is a 3 foot orange with white stripe wire. This is to be connected to a + 12 volt circuit that is only live when the ignition is on. The best connection point is at the car's fuseblock at the "RADIO" or "ACCESSORY" identified terminals. ORANGE w/WHITE STRIPE WIRE GREEN WITH WHITE STRIPE POWER WIRE The 3 foot green with white stripe wire must be connected to a "live" 12 volt wire in the vehicle. You will have to check the wire you connect it to and make certain it is always "live"' even when the car's ignition is turned off. If none is found, route the wire to the car's fuseblock and connect it to a "live" circuit there.

BLACK GROUND WIRE The 3 foot black wire attached to the FM module must be secured to a grounded metal part of the car's chassis. If you cannot find an existing bolt or screw to fasten it to, you must drill a hole in the metal and secure it with a screw. To insure a good ground, remove any paint or grease where the wire will connect. GROUNDED METAL PART OF CHASSIS EXISTING SCREW OR BOLT FM MODULE BLACK GROUND WIRE CAR ANTENNA INPUT Locate your existing car radio antenna cable. This is normally a black cable about as thick as a pencil and will be plugged into a socket on the rear of your car radio. Unplug this antenna lead and plug it into the mating female socket on the FM module. IMPORTANT - Some Import cars have a special dual antenna called "DIVERSITY ANTENNA". If your car has this type of antenna system, you will find the antenna cable will not fit the socket on the FM module. Use of the ACC-50A with "DIVERSITY ANTENNA" is not recommended. You may also find some late model GM cars have an antenna plug that is too small to mate with the FM module. If this is found, call Audiovox's Toll-Free Assistance for a special adaptor. This adaptor can also be purchased at any car stereo installation center. EXISTING CAR RADIO (UNPLUG ANTENNA CABLE) EXISTING CAR ANTENNA FM MODULE FEMALE CONNECTOR CAR ANTENNA CABLE CAR RADIO RADIO ANTENNA OUTPUT Attached to the FM module is a male antenna plug. Simply plug this into the socket on the car radio from which you just removed the car antenna cable.
