    yep...you got it.....

    red to +ve......black to -ve or earth on the vehicle......
    and make sure the antenna is also earthed as it should be.......


    its very straight forward.......you can run it straight to the battery......
    but use a fuse for safety.....this way....you can always use the radio....
    irrespective if the key is in the ignition or not......

    Sorry, I thought you were asking more... I.e. how to run it. Then I re-read it.

    Guessing a Disco.
    Don't use your cigarette lighter plug.
    Are you able to run the red and black power wires through your firewall out to the battery ?
    Let us know if you can. We'll then help with part 2.

    Run the red(+) and black(-) back to the battery, put a 5A fuse in line with the red wire. Run the wires through one of the rubber grommets on the firewall.

    Is there any advantage/difference/preference in running the black wire to the battery -ve terminal, or running it to a grounding connection on the body/chassis?

    (will be installing my new UHF if/when I ever get the Disco back!)
