ISO-DIN Installation
This unit is designed to t into a 2.0 DIN dashboard opening, found in many imported cars. The 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. Remove the factory mounting brackets and hardware from
the existing radio and attach them to the new radio.
CAUTION! Do not exceed M5 X 6MM screw size. Longer screws
may damage components inside the chassis.
3. 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, plug the
ISO connectors into the mating sockets on the rear of the
chassis. Turn the unit on to conrm operation (vehicle ignition
switch must be “on”). If the unit does not operate,
re-check all wiring until the problem is corrected.
4. Mount the new radio assembly to the dashboard or center
console using the reverse procedure in step 1.
