and car stereo specialist shops. Always check the kit application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with
your vehicle. If you need a kit but cannot find it available, call our toll-free “HELP” line at
1-800-645-4994.
UNIVERSAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE USING MOUNTING SLEEVE
1. Remove the detachable front panel if it is attached to the chassis by pushing the “Release” button. Slide the mounting
sleeve off of 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 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 so that the sleeve is firmly secured to
the dashboard.
4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so that the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve.
Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections of the wiring harness are secure and insulated
with wire nuts or electrical tape to insure proper operation of the unit. After completing the wiring connections, attach
the front panel and turn the unit on to confirm operation (ignition switch must be “on”). If unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn off the ignition switch and proceed
with final mounting of the chassis.
5. 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.
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 and hex nut provided. Bend the strap to position it as necessary.
CAUTION: The rear of the radio must be supported with the strap to prevent damage to the dashboard from the
weight of the radio or improper operation due to vibration.
7. Re-attach the front panel to the chassis and test radio operation by referring to the Operating Instructions for the unit.
INSTALLATION USING KITS
1. 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.
2. Wire and test the radio as described in Step 4 above.
3. Install the radio/mounting plate assembly to the sub-dashboard according to the instructions of the installation kit.
4. Attach the support strap to the radio and dashboard as described in Step 6 above.
5. Replace the dashboard trimpanel.

ISO INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
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 specialist shop for assistance on this type of installation.
1. Remove the existing factory radio from its dashboard or center console mounting. Save all hardware and brackets
as they will be used to mount the new radio.
2. Carefully un-snap 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 8 MM MAXIMUM SCREW SIZE.
LONGER SCREWS MAY TOUCH AND DAMAGE COMPONENTS INSIDE THE CHASSIS.
4. Wire the new radio to the vehicle as per step 4 above.
5. Mount the new radio assembly to the dashboard or center console using the reverse procedure of step 1.

button to change to radio operation without ejecting
the tape.
cp TIME/FREQUENCY SELECTOR (T/F)
This unit can be set so that either the clock time or radio
frequency/tape/CD changer functions will normally
appear on the display panel. Pressing the Time/
Frequency Selector button when the radio frequency,
tape or CD changer indication is shown will change
the display to show the time. The time will then be the
priority setting and the display will automatically
return to time display 5 seconds after any other radio,
tape, CD changer, or audio function display.
If the unit is set to time display priority, pressing the
Time/Frequency Selector button will change the
display to show the radio frequency/tape/CD changer
indication and this will then become the priority
setting to which the display automatically returns 5
seconds after any other function is activated.
cq THEFT-DETERRENT L.E.D.
Located on the chassis behind the front panel, a
light-emitting diode (L.E.D.) will flash when the panel
is removed. The flashing light serves as a visual
warning to the would-be thief that the unit has been
disabled by removal of the front panel.
cr RE-SET BUTTON
A Re-Set button is located on the front of the chassis
(front panel must be removed to access the button).
The re-set circuitry is provided to protect the
microprocessor circuitry and should only be activated
under the following circumstances as it will erase the
time and pre-set memories.
1. Upon initial installation after all wiring is completed.
2. After the position of the CD changer selector switch
on the bottom of the chassis has been changed.
3. If there is a malfunction of any of the switches on
the unit, pressing the Re-Set button may clear
the system and return to normal operation.
cs FRONT PANEL RELEASE BUTTON
This button is used to release the mechanism that
holds the front panel to the chassis. To detach the
front panel, press the button so that the left side of the
panel is released. Grasp the released side and pull
it off of the chassis. To re-attach the panel, position
the right side of the panel in place first and then press
the left side of the panel until the mechanism locks
it into place.
NOTES ON USE OF FRONT PANEL
1. Make sure the front panel is right-side-up when
attaching it to the chassis as it cannot be attached
when up-side down.
2. Do not press very hard on the front panel when
attaching it to the chassis. No more than light to
moderate pressure should be needed.
3. When attaching the front panel, make sure the
right side is correctly engaged before pressing the
left side to lock it into position.
4. When taking the front panel with you, please use
the supplied carrying case to protect the panel from
dirt and damage. Make sure there is no dust or dirt
on the electrical terminals on the back of the panel as
this could cause intermittent operation or other
malfunctions.

If a problem should develop while operating the CD changer, the error code “Err” may appear on the display
panel. This can indicate a number of problems with the unit, including a mechanical error or an error in the
microprocessor control of the changer. If the error code should appear, try ejecting and re-loading the magazine
into the changer. While the magazine is out of the changer, make sure the discs are clean, undamaged, and
loaded correctly (see Owner’s Manual of the CD changer). You may also try activating the Re-Set button cr
on the unit, but this will also erase the time and pre-set memories.
If the suggested measures do not solve the problem, contact an approved warranty station near you for further
assistance.
