• When installing the unit to a vehicle with
an airbag system, never install it in a
place where it may affect the operation of
the airbag.
• Do not install this unit in the following
locations:
A location interfering with the driver's
visual range or operation.
A location that hinders the gear shift.
A location where passengers are at risk.
An unstable location, or where the
system may fall.
CAUTION
• Do not install this unit in a location exposed
to rain or dust. Doing so creates the risk of
a fire, accident, and electric shock.
• Do not install this unit in a place exposed to
direct sunlight, heat or a place where the
vent holes or heat radiation holes are
covered.
Installation Notes
WARNING
Please note the position of pipes, tanks and
electrical wirings before installing the unit
into the vehicle; failure in avoiding these
may cause a fire or malfunction.
CAUTION
• Use only the supplied parts.
• If unspecified parts are used, they may
cause damage.
• Any holes made in the body of the vehicle
should be sealed with a silicon adhesive.
• If exhaust fumes or water penetrates into
the vehicle, this may cause an accident.
• Fasten the bolts securely when installing
the unit. Loose bolts create the risk of an
accident or malfunction.
Connection Notes
WARNING
• Loom all cables according to the
instruction manual, so as not to hinder

• Wire the connecting cords/cables away
from high temperature areas. If the
coatings of the cables melt, it could cause
an accident/fire by a short circuit. Take
care when wiring in the engine
compartment.
• When installing the unit to a vehicle with
an airbag system, never install it in a
place where it may affect the operation of
the airbag.
• An airbag not operating correctly in an
emergency may cause increased injury.
CAUTION
• Connect cables appropriately. If a wrong
connection is made, this may cause a fire or
accident.
• When passing cables through the body of
the vehicle, use non-conductive grommets.
• If the coatings of the cables are worn out by
rubbing, this may cause an accident, fire or
a short circuit.
• After wiring cables, fix them with insulation
tape.
• Be sure to switch off the vehicle when
connecting or disconnecting cords to/from
the unit, otherwise an electric shock, injury
or accident may occur.

interfere with vehicle operation.
•
Install the Car Dock in a location where it does not
interfere with airbags and other safety devices.
Installing
1. There is tape affixed to the bottom of the Car
Dock, which is covered by a protection sheet.
Without removing the protection sheet, place
the Car Dock on the dashboard of the vehicle
to determine the best installation position.
Note:
Select a location where the ClarionMiND can be

4. Use the hex wrench to loosen the Car Dock's
hex head screw to the point of maximum tilt.
Note:
•
If the Car Dock does not tilt, you will not be able to
tighten the tapping screws with a screwdriver.
•
Fully loosen the hex screws until the Car Dock is
fully tilted. However, note that loosening the hex
screw too much can cause the hex screw to come
out.

2. Remove the protection sheet from the bottom
of the Car Dock and then affix the Car Dock to
the dashboard of the vehicle.
Note:
•
Use a dry cloth to wipe the installation location free
of dust and oil.

WARNING
• Run cables to avoid any hindrance of the
driver's view.
• Secure cords with tape or by other means
to ensure they do not interfere with driver
operations.
Installing
1. Determine the attaching position of the RDSTMC antenna.
Note:
•
Please set up the RDS-TMC antenna to become
the best reception.
•
Keep the RDS-TMC antenna cord fairly straight
(not curled or bent) for best reception.
•
Attach the RDS-TMC antenna in an area within 15
mm to 25 mm (0.59" to 0.98" ) from the front pillar
where it does not interfere with vehicle operation.
•
For installation location of the antenna, follow the
local rules and regulations.
2. Use the cord holders to secure the antenna
cable.

WARNING
• Be sure to read the “Safety Precautions” section of this manual before installing the Car
Dock or performing wiring.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before connecting wires. Failure to do so
creates the risk of electric shock and personal injury due to short circuiting. Short circuiting
also can result in damage to internal components.
Connecting the Car Dock and I/F (Interface) BOX
Note:
•
To output ClarionMiND sound through the vehicle speakers, use the supplied audio cable to connect the I/F
BOX to the vehicle audio system's AUX in terminal.
•
Navigation interrupt can be enabled by connecting the power cord's phone mute lead to a vehicle audio
system that supports phone muting. To use this function, you need to configure TEL-mute function settings
on the vehicle audio system. For details, see the user documentation that comes with the vehicle audio
system.
•
The first part of the navigation voice may be broken depending on your audio system. If this happens, do not
connect the phone mute lead. Set the audio system in AUX mode or set the ClarionMiND built-in speaker to
output the voice guidance.

Attaching and Removing the ClarionMiND
Note:
•
Before attaching the ClarionMiND, check to make
sure that the Car Dock is correctly installed and
connected.
•
Before attaching the ClarionMiND, first remove the
supplied plug cover from the Car Dock. When the
ClarionMiND is not connected to the Car Dock, be
sure to install the plug cover to protect the
connectors.
Attaching
1. Checking the connector locations of the Car
Dock, plug the ClarionMiND into the
connectors.
Note:
•
Make sure the hooks of the Car Dock enter the
slots on either side of the ClarionMiND.
Hook(s) come(s) off
from the slot(s)
on one or either side.
Removing
1. Pull the release lever on the front of the Car
Dock to the right and hold it there as you
remove the ClarionMiND.
Note:
•
When attaching the ClarionMiND, make sure the
Car Dock is pointed straight up and is not tilted.
Trying to force attachment of the ClarionMiND
while the Car Dock is at an angle can result in
faulty connector contact.
•
Do not leave the ClarionMiND on the Car Dock
after pulling the release lever to the right. The
hooks no longer will be engaged, which creates the
risk of the ClarionMiND falling off of the Car Dock.
•
Before attaching the ClarionMiND, make sure the
release lever is returned to the left. It may not be
returned to the left due to the operating condition.
