2. Install the half-sleeve. a. Install adapter if necessary (optional). b. Install half-sleeve into adapter or dashboard (use only the supplied screws). Do not force the sleeve into the opening

or cause it to bend or bow. c. 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. d. Install support strap to make the unit more stable.

CAUTION! Be careful not to damage the car wiring.

3. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve.
