TYPICAL GM APPLICATION (See Figure 1.)
Radio Preparation:
NOTE: For GM car installations, use the GM Hardware Kit, Part Number 150-1335, which is furnished with the radio.
1. Match quickie bolt locations on the P-153 radio to the factory radio bolt locations, and snap the short quickie bolts
(Item #2) into the appropriate locations.
2. Attach the original factory brackets or those from the radio mounting kit (if required) to the P-153 radio using the
supplied flange nuts (Item #4), or use the enclosed brackets (Item #6) if the original factory brackets are not removable.
3. Some vehicle applications incorporate a rear mounting support. Match the rear quickie bolt on the P-153 radio to the rear
factory radio bolt location and snap the long quickie bolt (Item #3) into place. Thread the plastic rear bushing (Item #5)
fully onto the quickie bolt.
4. Plug supplied wire harness (Item #1) into the mating socket on the rear of the P-153.
Installation:
1. Connect the wiring harness from the radio to the vehicle side radio harness.
2. Plug the factory antenna cable into the antenna socket on the radio.
NOTE: GM vehicles 1992 and up will require an antenna adapter to convert the vehicle mini-connector to a standard
connector. Antenna adapters are available at car stereo speciality shops.
3. If a compatible CD changer is to be used with this radio, connect the cable from the changer to the 12-pin mating socket
on the radio. If an external amplifier will be used for the rear speakers, connect the low-level output RCAl leads from the
radio to the low-level inputs on the amplifier. An auxiliary input is also available for connecting external audio sources,
such as portable products and audio for mobile video systems, to the P-153.
4. Reconnect the battery and perform a brief functional test of the radio to verify proper performance.
5. After verification, turn off the ignition switch and fasten the radio to the sub-dash using the mounting hardware previously
removed from the factory radio.
6. Re-assemble the dash using the reverse of the disassembly procedure.

TYPICAL CHRYSLER APPLICATION (See Figure 2.)
Radio Preparation:
NOTE: For Chrysler car installations, use the Chrysler Hardware Kit, Part Number 150-1336, which is furnished with the radio.
1. Select two of the four mounting tabs provided and match the radio mounting style of the vehicle as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5.
NOTE: The tab number is stamped on the bottom of the tab.
2. Attach the mounting tabs to the radio chassis with the four 1/4” hex head screws provided (Item # 9).
3. Attach the 20-pin connector from the harness to the radio.
4. Plug the antenna into the antenna socket on the radio.
Installation:
1. Attach the ring lug on the ground wire (black) from the radio side harness along with the vehicle side grounding strap to the
rear of the radio chassis using the short quickie bolt (Item #3) and the flange nut (Item # 4) provided.
2. Connect the mating side of the harness to the vehicle side wiring harness.
3. Connect the vehicle antenna to the radio antenna connector.
4. If a compatible CD changer is to be used with this radio, connect the cable from the changer to the 12-pin mating socket on
the radio. If an external amplifier will be used for the rear speakers, connect the low-level output RCA leads from the radio to
the low-level inputs on the amplifier. An auxiliary input is also available for connecting external audio sources, such as
portable products and audio for mobile video systems, to the P-153.
5. Reconnect the battery and perform a brief functional test of the radio to verify proper performance.
6. After verification, turn off the ignition switch and install the radio into the sub-dash of the vehicle using either two 10mm hex-
head screws, which are not provided, or use the existing factory hardware.
7. Re-assemble the dash using the reverse of the disassembly procedure.
