The display can be installed Flat or with a Horizontal Angle towards the driver. For flat mounting,
attach the Clamp Assembly (1) to the display using M4 X 14 screws (FIG. A). If a horizontal angle
is desired, insert the Angle Plate (2) in between the clamp and display and replace 2 of the M4 X
14 screws with longer M4 X 18 screws on the thicker side of the angle plate (FIG. B). Center the
bracket on the back of the display as a starting point, and if needed you can adjust up or down.

b. Display can slide up or down (Page 7)
c. Display can be tilted horizontally (Page 7 – FIG. B)
Note: There are multiple mounting holes on
the mounting bracket to allow adjusting the
mounting depth. You may drill additional holes
in the mounting bracket and/or the dash kit
brackets to align the display in the best position
and ensure you can use all 8 mounting screws.
5. Once in the desired position, tighten screws
to the radio chassis (top) and mounting bracket
assembly (bottom).
Note: If the display prevents the factory dash
panel(s) from being installed last, do not push
the display all the way up against the dash
kit. Leave enough bottom gap as the display's
bottom edge rotates towards the dash kit.
