INSTALLATION
This unit can be property installed with either a “Front” (conventional DIN front mount) or “Rear”
(DIN rear mount installation, utilizing threaded screw holes at the sides of the unit chassis) mount.
For details, refer to installation methods A and B.
Before You Begin
1. Disconnect Battery
Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal.
2. Remove Transport Screws
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.
• Be sure to remove the control panel before installing the unit.
DIN Front Mount (Method A)
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. The removal keys
are depicted in “DIN Rear Mount (Method B)”
on page 5.
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, turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle
accessory 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 accessory 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. 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 and plain
washer provided. Bend the
strap, as necessary, to
position it. Some vehicle
installations provide cavity
for rear support. In these
applications, place the
rubber bushing over the
screw stud and insert the radio.
CAUTION: The perforated rear support strap or rear rubber mounting bushing must
be used in the installation of the radio. Installation without either may result in
damage to the radio or the mounting surface and void the manufacturer’s warranty.
9. Test radio operation by referring to the operating instructions for the unit.
10. When wiring is complete, reconnect the battery negative terminal.
11. Push the trim plate against the chassis until it is fitted. You must do this before you install
the control panel, otherwise it can't be attached.
DIN Rear Mount (Method B)
This unit has threaded holes in the chassis side panels which may be used with the original
factory mounting brackets of some vehicles to mount the radio to the dashboard. Please consult
with your local mobile stereo 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 trim ring from the front of the new radio chassis. Remove and
discard the trim ring.
