Power for the radio in 5Ks

You can find permanent +12V at the cigaret lighter. Switched 12V is
available from the defroster switch (or any other accessory that turns on
when the ignition is on). Voltage for the dimmer signal (if your radio has
one) can be taken from one of the many small instrument bulbs scattered
across the instrument panel. The one illuminating the ashtray or the cig
lighter would be a good spot to steal the dimmer voltage.

Check all connections with a voltmeter BEFORE hooking them up to the radio.
Check for voltage (12V) and polarity.
