FORD 5 VOLT STEP DOWN

When replacing radios in vehicles with OEM amplifiers, mainly in Ford Mustang, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles, an audible “pop” through the speakers may be heard, especially the subwoofer. The main reason for this “pop”is that the OEM amplifiers do not require 12 volts to turn on but 5 volts. Axxess has developed the AFDI-5V to take a normal 12 volt turn on from the aftermarket radio and drop it down to 5 volts,which the OEM amplifier handles better. A 3 wire hook up makes the AFDI-5V very simple to use.

Wiring the AFDI-5V:

1. Connect the Blue/White wire to the aftermarket radio’s amplifier turn on wire.

2. Connect the Black wire to chassis ground.

3. Connect the Blue/Red wire to the vehicles amplifier turn on wire.
