5.

Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the 
mounting sleeve. 

6.

Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and 
insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper operation. 

7.

After completing the wiring connections, attach the front panel and turn the unit on to 
confirm operation (vehicle ignition switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, 
recheck all wiring until the problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn 
the ignition switch off and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.

8.

Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve making sure it is right-side-up until it is 
fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.

9.

Attach one end of the perforated support strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the rear of 
the chassis using the hex nut provided. Fasten the other end of the perforated strap to a 
secure part of the dashboard either above or below the radio using the screw and hex nut 
provided. Bend the strap, as necessary, to position it. CAUTION: The rear of the radio 
must be supported with the strap to prevent damage to the dashboard from the weight of 
the radio or improper operation due to vibration.

10. Re-attach the front panel to the chassis and test radio operation by referring to the 

operating instructions for the unit.

If your vehicle requires the use of an installation kit to mount this radio, follow the instructions 
included with the installation kit to attach the radio to the mounting plate supplied with the kit.

1.

Wire and test the radio as outlined in the Universal Installation instructions.

2.

Install the radio/mounting plate assembly to the sub-dashboard according to the 
instructions in the installation kit.

3.

Attach the support strap to the radio and dashboard as described in the Universal 
Installation instructions.

4.

Replace the dashboard trim panel.

This unit has threaded holes in the chassis side 
panels which may be used with the original factory 
mounting brackets of some vehicles to mount the 
radio to the dashboard. Please consult with your 
local car stereo shop for assistance on this type of 
installation.

1.

Remove the existing factory radio from the 
dashboard or center console mounting. Save all 
hardware and brackets as they will be used to 
mount the new radio.

2.

Carefully unsnap the plastic frame from the 
front of the new radio chassis. Remove and 
discard the frame.

3.

Remove the factory mounting brackets and hardware from the existing radio and attach 
them to the new radio. Do not exceed M5 x 9 MM maximum screw size. Longer screws 
may damage components inside the chassis.

4.

Wire the new radio to the vehicle as outlined in the Universal Installation instructions.

5.

Mount the new radio assembly to the dashboard or center console using the reverse 
procedure of step 1.

To remove the radio after installation, remove the 
trim ring by lifting in the center and pulling it off 
from either side. Insert the removal keys straight 
back until they lock, and then pull the radio out. If 
removal keys are inserted at an angle, they will 
not lock properly to release the unit.
