1. Make sure that the security code that the radio has is known to you and written down.
2. Disconnect the battery.
3. Insert the included radio removal brackets into the holes on both sides of the panel and remove the radio (see illustration).
If the brackets are not available, then you can use suitable pins by inserting them into the holes on the radio panel in order to press the latches that fix the radio to the console.
4. Disconnect the radio power plug and antenna plug.
When reinstalling the radio, hold it horizontally so that the retaining pin on the back of the receiver fits into the hole. Once installed, push the radio slightly forward until the latches snap into place.
5. Enter the security code into the radio if it is equipped with such a code.
Attention! The security code must be entered into the radio each time the battery is disconnected from the on-board network, after the radio fuse has been replaced, or after the radio has been switched off.
Speakers on the instrument panel - removal and installation
Above, on the right and left sides of the instrument panel, speakers are installed.
6. Carefully remove the speaker cover using a small screwdriver.
7. Remove the two Phillips screws that secure the speaker. When installing the speakers, insert the protrusions on them into the grooves on the panel (see illustration).
The rear speakers are installed behind the trim of the rear side doors.
8. Remove the door trim.
9. Turn out screws of fastening and take the speaker block.
10. Remove the three screws securing the speaker to the block and disconnect the speaker wire (see illustration).
11. High tone speaker. Unscrew the threaded peg that secures the free-standing tweeter on the stylish side and disconnect its wire (see illustration).
Radio antenna
The filaments of the rear window defroster serve as the radio antenna. In this case, the two upper threads serve as an antenna for receiving transmissions on medium waves, and the remaining threads serve as an antenna for receiving on the VHF band. The radio signal amplifier, installed under the trim of the left C-pillar, compensates for the insufficient height of such an antenna (see illustration 18.0).
In the event of a defective radio antenna, the following must be done to locate it.
12. Remove a covering from both racks of a roof.
13. Check contact with «weight» (-) rear window heater. The same goes for «masses» (-) radio signal amplifier.
14. Check that the heater filaments are not damaged. If damage is found, apply conductive varnish to the break or replace the rear door glass.
15. Disconnect the amplifier plug. Make sure power is on. To do this, turn on the radio. If there is no power, then check the wire.
16. Check the resistance of the amplifier itself with an ammeter. The ammeter should show a resistance of 30-50 mA. Otherwise, the amplifier is defective and must be replaced.
17. Disconnect the bottom wire of the rear window defroster to perform a further check.
18. Turn on the ignition and heated rear window and measure the voltage on the wire. The voltmeter should show battery voltage. Otherwise, the wiring or amplifier is faulty. To determine exactly where the problem is, disconnect the bottom wire from the amplifier and measure the voltage with the ignition and heated rear window turned on. If the voltmeter shows battery voltage, then the wiring is normal, and the amplifier is not working. Otherwise, the situation changes.
