When installing a radio, you need to determine what model the car belongs to. The base model does not have wiring for the rear speakers and does not have an external antenna.

But the installation is standard.

One plug is brown, and the other is gray.

The brown plug is connected to the outputs of the radio.

The gray plug is connected to the power supply of the radio (usually these plugs cannot be confused).

In the photo, the brown plug with four wires, for the front speakers, the basic model.

On luxury models, this plug has eight wires, for the front and rear speakers.

In the socket under the receiver, insert the receiver mounting brackets (do not forget to push the plugs with wires through before this).

If not an external antenna is installed, it is best to use an active antenna that is glued to the windshield inside the cabin.
