Using the Cosmetic Trim Ring
A cosmetic trim ring is supplied with the head unit for installation
flexibility. This unit will fit into most import dashes with little or
no modification to the dash board/cavity. Some US domestic
vehicle dashes will accept a Double-DIN chassis, but there is
usually a small gap between the radio and dash piece after
installation is complete. In this case, use the trim ring to conceal
any gaps that may be present.
NOTE: For proper operation of the CD/DVD player, the chassis must be mounted within 30° of horizontal. Make sure the
unit is mounted within this limitation.
