Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle-like a
tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio-be
sure you can add what
you want. If
you can, it’s very important to do it
properly. Added sound equipment
may interfere with the operation
of
your vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio
or other systems, and can even
damage them. And, your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that
has been added improperly.
So, before adding sound
equipment, check with your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and
telephone units.
