Place the trimplate over the front of the radio and secure it with a shaft nut on each radio shaft.
D.
Attach one end of the perforated support strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the radio using the hex nut
E.
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 nut provided. Bend the strap to position it as necessary.
