Considerations for OEM Installations

If you are an OEM installing this stereo, you may use an approved specialized power and speaker adapter cable. You should use 25 A adapter cables when possible.

Although it is not appropriate for all installations, you can use an approved 15 A adapter cable if you follow the considerations below. The approved 15 A cables include these Garmin® part numbers:
  • 010-12482-00

  • 010-12482-40

When connecting the stereo to an approved 15 A power and speaker adapter cable, you must observe these considerations:
  • The current through these adapter cables must not exceed 15 A.

  • The fuse or circuit breaker connected to the positive wire must be 15 A.

  • The power cable must be rated for 15 A or greater.

  • The maximum voltage drop experienced by the stereo must not exceed 1.0 Vdc for a 12 Vdc system or 2.0 Vdc for a 24 Vdc system.

  • You must set the correct speaker profiles for your connected speakers in the DSP settings of the Fusion® Audio app.
