Precautions before 
installation
 CAUTION
•  Never install this product in places where, 
or in a manner that:
 
– Could injure the driver or passengers if 
the vehicle stops suddenly.
 
– May interfere with the driver’s operation 
of the vehicle, such as on the floor in front 
of the driver’s seat, or close to the steering 
wheel or shift lever.
•  Make sure there is nothing behind the 
dashboard or paneling when drilling holes 
in them. Be careful not to damage fuel 
lines, brake lines, electronic components, 
communication wires or power cables.
• 
When using screws, do not allow them to 
come into contact with any electrical lead. 
Vibration may damage wires or insulation, 
leading to a short circuit or other damage 
to the vehicle.
•  To ensure proper installation, be sure 
to use the supplied parts in the manner 
specified. If any parts are not supplied with 
this product, use compatible parts in the 
manner specified after you have the parts’ 
compatibility checked by your dealer. If 
parts other than supplied or compatible 
ones are used, they may damage internal 
parts of this product or they may work loose 
and the product may become detached.
•  It is extremely dangerous to allow cables to 
become wound around the steering column 
or shift lever. Be sure to install this product, 
its cables, and wiring away in such so that 
they will not obstruct or hinder driving.
•  Make sure that leads cannot get caught in 
a door or the sliding mechanism of a seat, 
resulting in a short circuit.
•  Please confirm the proper function of your 
vehicle’s other equipment after installation 
of this product.
•  Do not install this product where it may 
(i) obstruct the driver’s vision, (ii) impair 
the performance of any of the vehicle’s 
operating systems or safety features, 
including airbags, hazard lamp buttons 
or (iii) impair the driver’s ability to safely 
operate the vehicle.
•  Install this product between the driver’s 
seat and front passenger seat so that it will 
not be hit by the driver or passenger if the 
vehicle stops quickly.
• 
Never install this product in front of or 
next to the place in the dashboard, door, 
or pillar from which one of your vehicle’s 
airbags would deploy. Please refer to your 
vehicle’s owner’s manual for reference to 
the deployment area of the frontal airbags. 
•  Failure to follow all of these precautions 
may result in serious injury or death.
To avoid electromagnetic 
interference
In order to prevent interference, set the 
following items as far as possible from 
this product, other cables or leads:
•  FM, AM antenna and its lead
•  GPS antenna and its lead
In addition, you should lay or route each 
antenna lead as far as possible from 
other antenna leads. Do not bind, lay 
or route them together, or cross them. 
Electromagnetic noise will increase 
the potential for errors in the vehicle’s 
location display.
Before installing
•  Consult with your nearest dealer if 
installation requires drilling holes or 
other modifications of the vehicle.
•  Before making a final installation of 
this product, temporarily connect the 
wiring to confirm that the connections 
are correct and the system works 
properly.

subject to high temperatures or 
humidity, such as:
 
– Places close to a heater, vent or air 
conditioner.
