INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This unit is designed for installation in cars, trucks, and vans with an existing radio opening. In many cases, a special installation
kit will be required to mount the radio to the dashboard. These kits are available at electronics supply stores 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. Open, fold down and remove the detachable front panel, if it is attached to the chassis, by grasping the grooved center
portion and pulling the panel assembly straight out. Slide the mounting sleeve off of the chassis. I f it i s 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, re-check 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.

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.

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 5 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.
