Check the polarity of the adapter so you know which wire on the snipped connector needs to be wired to the positive wire from the converter and which goes to the negative. Double check your polarity with a meter.

DO THIS!!!! The center of the radio connector should be +5 volts positive!! Check with a meter. The white stripe on the radio power wire is not consistant with a given polarity in our experience. (Blue Smoke) Check with a meter, save a $100
