INSTALLATION
Notes:
• Choose the mounting location where
the unit will not interfere with the normal
activity of the driver.
• Before finally installing the unit,
connect the wiring temporarily and
make sure it is all connected up
properly. Test to see if the system is
working properly.
• Use only the parts included with the
unit to ensure proper installation.
The use of unauthorized parts can
cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if
installation requires the drilling of holes
or other modifications of the vehicle.
• Install the unit where it does not get in
the driver’s way and cannot injure the
passenger if there is a sudden stop.
• If installation angle exceeds 30˚ from
horizontal, the unit might not give its
optimum performance.
30˚
• Avoid installing the unit where it would
be subject to high temperature, such
as direct sunlight, hot air from the
heater, or where it would be
subject to dust, dirt or excessive
vibration.

1. Make sure the ignition is turned off,
and then disconnect the cable from
the vehicle battery's negative (-)
terminal.
2. Disconnect the wire harness and the
antenna.
3. The two supplied keys release tabs
inside the unit's sleeve so you can

5. Reconnect the wire harness and the
antenna and be careful not to pinch
any wires or cables.
6. Slide the unit into the sleeve until it
locks into place.
7. To further secure the unit, use the

hardware (Hex Nut (M5mm) and Spring
Washer) to attach one end of the strap
to the mounting bolt on the back of
the unit. If necessary, bend the metal
strap to fit your vehicle's mounting
area. Then use the supplied hardware
(Tapping Screw (5x25mm) and Plain
Washer) to attach the other end of
metal strap to a solid metal part of the
vehicle under the dashboard. This strap
also helps ensure proper electrical
grounding of the unit.
