Disconnecting the Battery
To prevent a short circuit, be sure to turn off the ignition and remove the negative (-) battery cable prior to installation.

not disconnect the battery cable. If the cable is disconnected, the computer memory may be lost. Under these
conditions, use extra caution during installation to avoid causing a short circuit.
Replacing the Fuse
When replacing the fuse, use a new 20A replacement fuse. Using a fuse with an improper rating could damage
the unit and cause a fi re.
ISO-DIN Installation
This unit is designed to fi 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.
Remove the existing factory radio from the dashboard or
1
center console mounting. Save all hardware and brackets
as they will be used to mount the new radio.
Remove the factory mounting brackets and hardware from

the existing radio and attach them to the new radio.

opening or cause it to bend or bow.
WARNING! Only connect the unit to a 12-volt power
supply with proper grounding.
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
fi rmly secured to the dashboard.

Using the Cosmetic Trim Ring
Two cosmetic trim rings are packaged with the head unit for
installation fl exibility. This unit will fi t into most import dashes
with little or no modifi cation 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 appropriate 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.
