Installation
CAUTION
When you install this unit in your car, do not remove the 
detachable front panel.
If the detachable front panel is removed during installation, you 
might press too hard and warp the metal plate that holds it in 
place.
The main unit must be mounted within 35 degrees of the 
horizontal plane, back to front.
1
Remove the mounting sleeve from the main unit (Refer to 
“Removal” on page 43
).
* If the installed mounting sleeve is loose in the dashboard, the 
pressure plates may be bent slightly to remedy the problem.
2
Reinforce the head unit with the metal mounting strap 
(not supplied). Secure the ground lead of the unit to a 
clean metal spot.
Connect each input lead coming from an amplifier to the 
corresponding output lead coming from the left rear of the 
CDE-SXM145BT/CDE-143BT/UTE-42BT. Connect all other leads 
of the CDE-SXM145BT/CDE-143BT/UTE-42BT according to 
details described in the CONNECTIONS section.
Note
• For the screw marked “
*
”, use an appropriate screw for the chosen 
mounting location.
3
Slide the CDE-SXM145BT/CDE-143BT/UTE-42BT into the 
dashboard until it clicks. This ensures that the unit is 
properly locked and will not accidentally come out from 
the dashboard. Install the detachable front panel.
1
Remove the detachable front panel.
2
Insert the bracket keys into the unit, along the guides on 
either side. The unit can now be removed from the 
mounting sleeve.
3
Pull the unit out, keeping it unlocked as you do so.
JAPANESE CAR
Mounting the Microphone
For the sake of safety, mount the microphone in the following location.
• In a stable and secure location.
• In a location that does not inhibit safely driving the vehicle.
• Mount the microphone in a location where the driver’s voice can 
easily be picked up.
Choose a location for the microphone that can easily pick up the drivers 
voice. Requiring the driver to move towards the microphone for 
audibility causes a distraction that could be dangerous.
