We've tried to make the instructions in this book clear and easy to follow. For your Jensen stereo to work right, it must be installed correctly. This manual will show you how to install your new stereo like a pro. It's a good idea to read all of these instructions before you begin the installation. Most installations are straightforward and can be handled by a do-it-yourselfer with the right tools, patience, and the ability to follow instructions. But, do-it-yourself installation isn't for everyone. If you still don't feel confident after reading this book, consider turning the installation job over to someone better suited to it. Warranty Service If your Jensen stereo should ever require service, you will need to have the original dated receipt. If you ever need to return the unit for any reason, always include the receipt with the product.

Dashboard Adapters The opening in your dashboard may not match the size of your Jensen radio. Purchase an adapter kit for your car.
