The Hermosa radio is a universal solution (one chassis for most vehicles) and its control face is a fixed size (3.5)/ W x 1.5)/ H). Most American cars fit the radio and the bezel from behind the dash. The bezel tits around the Hermosa control face to fill the original factory opening. The Hermosa control face is NOT referred to as a faceplate.
Hermosa Owner's Manual STEP 5: Install Knobs Once your radio is installed, follow the steps below to ensure a proper knob fit. 1. The included shaft covers may be used to cover up excess shaft metal during your installation (Note: this is an optional item to install). They can be cut to any length to conceal the shaft and make the install look more . professional. See Figure 5 for an example. 2. Slide the rear knob over the shaft, rotating it into the correct position, and push it into place.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1: Install the Radio Face Plug the ribbon cable included with the Motor 2 body into the radio face. After plugging in the face, attach it to the body and tighten with the four radio face mounting screws provided in the radio face box (the screws are very small and are in the hardware bag with the shaft nuts). The RetroSound® logo on the Motor 2 body should be facing upwards. Take care to not install the face to the body upside down.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS STEP 2: Install InfiniMount Brackets Attach each InfiniMount bracket to the correct side of the radio using the supplied screws. Before tightening the screws, you need to adjust the brackets up, down, forward or backward. You may also rotate, cut, or bend the brackets to achieve the perfect fit (see Figure 2). Complete the assembly with at least two screws tightened on each side.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS STEP 3: Mount Shafts to Brackets To match the location of your shafts to the proper width of your vehicle’s dash, first measure the distance between your existing shaft holes from center to center. Mount a shaft to each bracket using the supplied shaft nuts and washers. Finger tighten the shaft nuts to prepare for the final installation (see Figure 3). Once you ensure proper width, tighten the screws and nuts (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN). DAMAGE FROM OVERTIGHTENING WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS STEP 4: Complete Wiring Connections Figure 5 - Wiring Diagram NOTE: Cutting the wiring harness, antenna lead or auxiliary cable will void your warranty.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: This unit requires +12 volts to both the red and yellow wires to operate properly. Locate the three wiring harnesses: main wiring harness, power wiring harness and speaker wiring harness (see “What’s in the Box” on page 4). First connect the main wiring harness to the back of the radio. Then connect both the power and speaker Wiring Harnesses to the black female plug of the main wiring harness.

TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Cause Action to Solve Problem Radio will not turn on (no lights, no sound) 12 volt Batt+ wire not connected or incorrect voltage Check all connections for proper voltage with a volt meter.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Do your radios work on 6 volt systems or on positive ground systems? No. Our radios are 12 volt, negative ground only. After-market converters and inverters are available but must have at least 8 amps of continuous output. I’m having problems getting the radio to turn on. RetroSound® radios require 12 volts to both power leads. The red lead (+12 volt accessory) goes to a switched power source, and the yellow to a constant +12 volt power source.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS My car originally came with a switch to control my automatic antenna. Can I use the RetroSound® radio’s remote antenna wire to control my antenna? No you cannot. Your factory antenna is known as “semiautomatic.” It requires a switch to either extend or retract the antenna. You must retain this switch to control your antenna; the RetroSound® radio’s power antenna wire is for more modern “fullyautomatic” antennas not requiring a separate switch.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS I have your radio with an amp connected, but hear a whining/buzzing sound through the speakers when I step on the accelerator. If you have an external amplifier installed and experience a highpitched noise that varies with the engine’s RPM, there are many possible solutions: • Make sure the amplifier’s gain controls are not turned all the way up. Amplifiers amplify everything, including noise. • Try grounding the amplifier near where it is installed.
SPECIFICATIONS FM Tuning Range (USA, EUR, AUS, JAP, RUS tuning capable) Antenna Terminal 87.5-107.9MHz External Antenna Connector Usable Sensitivity 12.5 dBf Selectivity 75 dB @ 400kHz Signal to Noise Ratio 62 dB (Stereo), 67 dB (mono) Harmonic Distortion @ 1 kHz 0.8% (stereo), 0.
LIMITED WARRANTY Limited Warranty If your unit does not work properly because of defects in materials and workmanship, Retro Manufacturing, LLC (collectively referred to as “the warranter”) will for the length of the period indicated in the chart below at its option either (a) repair your unit with new or refurbished parts, or (b) replace it with a new or refurbished unit.
