how do you connect the radio to the power

For my goldwing I used the constant and accy line. For my other bike I found a clip with power that was not being used for the key wire, and ran a I fused wire for the constant ( the one that keeps the channels in memory)

There is a wiring diagram that shows you what color wires need to go where. One wire is the 12 volt power source. One wire is meant to be connected to a key on 12 volt source. Then there is a ground and antenna. You can find wires to splice into anywhere on your bike. Typically near your battery and fuses you will find a wire that has 12 volts all the time and one that only has 12 volts when the key is on. If you don't know how to check for this with a meter or a test light and don't know how to correctly splice wires together then I strongly recommend you have a more qualified person do it.

Hi, The radio has several wires coming out the back of it. When you install the radio you will need to splice into the cable harness of the bike, car or what ever your going to install the device on. The radio came with a wiring schematic which showed how the radio was to be connected. I sent the radio back so I don't have the diagram for reference. One of the wires is the antenna.

To be honest I haven't looked to see if any are available. I don't see any place to plug in external power to the radio.

You dont connect it physically. You just place it beside your radio. You must tune the dial on the antenna to the frq you are listening to. Move it from the side of your radio to the back to find the sweet spot. Then just leave it there. The sweet spot can be different at different frequencies.

YouTube it. It's super easy. Just run a power line to your battery with a fuse on it, mount the unit somewhere, connect the input (either straight from your head or tie into your left and right rear speakers, there's options for both ways). Then run the remote wire to a fuse that comes on with the car. That's it, then just tune it up. Instructions are included as well.

Click the channel button on the left side of it while it's plugged in. On the right side there are more buttons. Click or hold those down until you get to the station you want it to be on. All of the buttons are labeled

If you can get to the antenna plug in on the side or back of the radio you just unplug it and plug this unit in and then the antenna plugs into the rectangular part of the piece. Sometimes you might have to take the radio out but try not to...probably will cut your hands a few little places trying to do this but that is how you do it. Hope this helps.

You are correct - the manual is useless. So neither do I know how to operate the radio. When using it on batteries it comes on by itself (runs down batteries needlessly). After losing power, either from run-down batteries or being unplugged from ac it loses all memory of station sets and time. Directions are not clear as to how to set time or preset stations. I'm ready to toss it.

Princess 33: What should have come with you radio was a docking station which nests the radio and has outlets for the antenna, the speaker system, and the cigarette lighter power cord. It also has an FM spot for a wire that could be tied into an fm channel. I nest my radio in the receiver and connect the power cord to a cigarette lighter outlet and put the antenna up on the dash by the windshield and then there is an audio cord that you should have gotten that will plug into the back of the receiver and then into an outlet on your RAV 4 that should have an auxiliary outlet ( a simple pin plug ) nested with a usb outlet for your ipod or iphone or???? You will then have to power the radio up and go to channel one for the radio code! Write that down and then call in to Sirious and tell them you want to activate this radio with a new subscription. Once you have activated the radio, you will be able to play it in the car or take it back into the house and hook the audio to stereo speakers and wall power and play it there. skygod811

Your power supply would be considered the source and your radio is the load. Red is hot and black is ground from a DC power supply. Same on the load side. Will not work with a AC power requirement as far as I know.

You will need to buy a power adapter separately. This should work: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3802148Just make sure to connect the positive to the red wire and the negative to the black wire, otherwise you'll blow it out.HTH

Be sure it has power, either batteries or AC adapter... press the power button ( first button on the left). Then select your source, IPod or FM radio

I use the tiny white cord that comes with it....hardly noticeable. The radio is in my kitchen.

The output is VAC. Your radio is probably DC. Not sure that's going to work.

Hello, The radio is the hand held. It has a box that connects the radio to the 12v power and antenna input which is contained in a small metal box.

Connect the radio blue/white to the antenna adapter's blue wire. That is all.

A DC adaptor can be purchased at Radio Shack, It takes a 12volt adaptor. Bring your radio to to size the the plug in.

HI, it's powered itself. you just need to buy the set of wires to connect it to the stereo.
