Fitting a Car Radio

[stephen_374301249]

I would like to fit a car radio to my 1997 Elddis Caravan. Any advice on how to do it??

You will need to locate a space to fit it.

Most new car radios come with a mounting bracket that the radio just slides into.

You will also need to locate 1 permanent live feed for the radio memory, and a switched live feed for the actual power, although the permanent can be combined with the switched if you're not bothered about losing your tuned in stations.

A good bet would be a visit to Halfords and pick up a plug which fits directly into the radio and has wires coming out to allow you to make the connections.

You also need to locate a good earth (or negative) point.

You also need a minimum of two speakers the speakers must be connected as shown in the radio installation manual . Do not be tempted to combine the speaker negative leads.

I lost my copy of Practical Caravan on fitting a car radio to a Caravan. If anyone has a back copy could they photocopy the pages and email me at sjustice@ntlworld.com
