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 “semi-automatic.”
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 “fully-automatic” antennas
not requiring a separate switch. Compatible fully-automatic antennas
are available on our website www.retromanufacturing.com.
The sound output is all mid-range, with very little bass and a
strangled-sounding upper range. What is wrong?
One of your speaker wires is connected backwards. This is called
being “out of phase.” Check to make sure positive is wired to
positive and negative to negative on all your speakers.
Will cutting or bending the InniMount brackets void the warranty
or harm the unit?
No. The RetroSound
®
patented InniMount bracket system has
been designed specically to be bent, cut and modied to simplify
radio installation. Modication to the radio’s brackets is actually
encouraged to ensure proper t.
If you have questions about modifying the bracket system, you can
contact us at tech@retromanufacturing.com or call us at 888.325.1555.
How much should I tighten the shaft nuts when installing the
brackets and mounting the radio to the dash?
Gently snug them down. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the shaft nuts. The
shaft nuts are NOT the only means of securing the radio to the dash.
There is a backstrap included which works with the shaft nuts to
secure the radio to the dash. Please note that overtightening the
shaft nuts could break the shafts. Retro Manufacturing, LLC will not be
responsible for broken shafts due to overtightening of the shaft nuts.
