INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation Using a Mounting

Sleeve

1. Slide the mounting sleeve off the chassis. If

it is locked into position, use the removal

tools (supplied) to disengage it.

2. Check the dashboard opening size by

sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the

opening is too small, 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

for 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. Follow the

wiring diagram carefully and make certain all

connections are secure and insulated with

wire nuts or electrical tape. After completing

the wiring connections, turn the unit on to

confirm operation (vehicle ignition must be

“on”). If the unit does not operate, re-check

all wiring until the problem is corrected.

5. Make sure the radio is right-side up, then

carefully slide the radio into the mounting

sleeve until it is fully seated and the spring

clips lock it into place.

6. Attach one end of the perforated support

strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the rear

of the chassis using the hex nut provided.

Fasten the other end of the perforated strap

to a secure part of the dashboard either

above or below the radio using the screw

provided. Bend the strap to position it as

necessary.

7. Test the radio using the Operating

Instructions that follow.

CAUTION: The support strap

must be used to prevent

damage to the dashboard from

the weight of the radio or

improper operation due to

vibration.

CAUTION: For proper operation

of the CD player, the chassis

must be mounted within 20° of

horizontal. Make sure the unit is

mounted within this limitation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation Using a Kit

If your vehicle requires the use of an installation

kit to mount this radio, follow the instructions

included with the installation kit to attach the

radio to the mounting plate supplied with the kit.

1. Wire and test the radio as described in step

4 of “Installation Using a Mounting Sleeve”.

2. Install the radio mounting plate assembly to

the sub-dashboard according to the

installation kit instructions.

3. Attach the support strap to the radio and

dashboard as described in step 6 of

“Installation Using a Mounting Sleeve”.

4. Replace the dashboard trim panel.

ISO Installation

This unit has threaded holes in the chassis side

panels which may be used with the original

factory mounting brackets of some Toyota,

Nissan, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Hyundai and Honda

vehicles to mount the radio to the dashboard.

Please consult with your local car stereo

specialty shop for assistance on this type of

installation.

1. Remove the existing factory radio from the

dashboard or center console mounting.

Save all hardware and brackets as they will

be used to mount the new radio.

2. Carefully unsnap the plastic frame from the

front of the new radio chassis. Remove and

discard the frame.

3. Remove the factory mounting brackets and

hardware from the existing radio and attach

them to the new radio.

CAUTION: Do not exceed M5 X 6 MM screw

size. Longer screws may touch and damage

components inside the chassis.

4. Wire the new radio to the vehicle as

described in step 4 of “Installation Using a

Mounting Sleeve”.

5. Mount the new radio assembly to the

dashboard or center console using the

reverse procedure in step 1 of “Installation

Using a Mounting Sleeve”.

Removing the Radio

To remove the radio after installation:

1. Insert fingers into the groove in the front of

frame and pull out to remove the frame.

(When re-attaching the frame, point the side

with a groove downwards and re-attach.)

2. Insert the removal keys straight back until

they click, and then pull the radio out. If

removal keys are inserted at an angle, they

will not lock properly to release the unit.
