1. Disconnect Power: Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits.
2. Match Wires: Connect the FD5000SW harness wires to the corresponding wires on the Power Acoustik radio harness. Use the provided wire color codes: - Yellow (FD5000SW) → Yellow (+12V Constant) - Red (FD5000SW) → Red (+12V Accessory Switched) - Black (FD5000SW) → Black (Chassis Ground) - Orange (FD5000SW) → Orange (+12V Illumination, if available) - White/White-Black → Front Left Speaker (+/-) - Gray/Gray-Black → Front Right Speaker (+/-) - Green/Green-Black → Rear Left Speaker (+/-) - Violet/Violet-Black → Rear Right Speaker (+/-)
3. Steering Wheel Controls: If your radio supports steering wheel controls, refer to pages 8-9 of the manual for the correct wiring connections.
4. Unused Wires: Cap or tape off any unused wires separately to avoid short circuits.
5. Reconnect Power: Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
6. Initialization: Close all doors, remove the key, and allow the vehicle to enter a resting state for a few minutes before turning on the radio.

To connect the steering wheel control on the Scosche FD5000SW radio:
1. Refer to the chart on page 9 of the manual to determine which colored loop to cut and the corresponding connection for your stereo. 2. Connect the 3.5mm male jack to the back of the stereo’s SWC input or connect the Brown (KEY1), Gray (KEY2), or Black (GND) wire to the stereo’s SWC input wire. 3. Connect the male 14-pin connector to the interface module as shown in the diagram. 4. For Alpine, Clarion, JVC, Panasonic, and some other car stereos, plug the 3.5mm male steering plug into the steering wheel input jack at the back of the stereo. 5. For Kenwood and newer JVC stereos, connect the Brown wire from the steering wheel harness to the appropriate input.
Ensure all connections are secure and follow the provided guide for your specific vehicle model.
