Important Notes
• Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is connected
properly and the system works.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of
unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other
modifications to your vehicle.
• Install the unit where it does not interfere with driving and cannot injure passengers if
there is a sudden or emergency stop.
• If the installation angle exceeds 30º from horizontal, the unit might not give optimum
performance.
• Avoid installing the unit where it will be subject to high temperatures from direct sunlight,
hot air, or from a heater, or where it would be subject to excessive dust, dirt or vibration.
2-DIN Front Mount
This unit can be installed in a dashboard with an opening of the following dimensions:
1. Slide the mounting sleeve off of the chassis if it has not already been removed. If it is
locked into position, use the removal keys (supplied) to disengage it. Insert the keys
through the holes in the front panel as far as they will go, and then slide the sleeve off the
back of the unit.
2. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is
not large enough, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the
opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check that
there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.
3. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom and sides of the mounting sleeve.
With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs
outward as necessary to firmly secure the sleeve to the dashboard.
4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the
mounting sleeve.
5. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and
insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper operation.
6. After completing the wiring connections, reconnect battery and turn the unit on to confirm
operation (vehicle ignition switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, recheck all
wiring until the problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn the ignition
switch off and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.
7. Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve making sure it is right-side-up until it is
fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.
8. Test radio operation by referring to the operating instructions for the unit.
Removing the Unit
To remove the radio after installation:
1. Make sure the ignition is turned off, and then disconnect the cable from the vehicle’s bat-
tery negative (-) terminal.
2. Insert the removal keys straight into the holes on the front of the unit, as far as they will
go.
3. Pull the radio straight out.
