1RADIO WIRING SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If no radio was requested at the time of purchase, the vehicle is
provided with a double oddment compartment on the dashboard
fig. 78.
The radio wiring system is composed of:
❍radio power supply cables, front and rear loudspeakers and
an aerial;
❍car radio housing;
❍an aerial on the vehicle roof.
fig. 78A0J0087m
The radio should be fitted in the dedicated compartment
A-fig. 78 , which should be removed by pressing on the two retaining
tabs in the compartment: the power supply cables can be found
here.
When connecting a car radio to the radio wiring
contact an Alfa Romeo Authorised Service to pre-
vent any faults from occurring that might com-
promise the safety of your vehicle.
