When your vehicle has the Bracket, mount the
long hex bolt onto the rear panel of the iDA-X200/
iDA-X300 and put the Rubber Cap on the hex bolt.
If your vehicle does not have the Mounting
Support, reinforce the head unit with the metal
mounting strap (not supplied). Connect all the
leads of the iDA-X200/iDA-X300 according to

Slide the iDA-X200/iDA-X300 into the dashboard.
When the unit is in place, make sure the locking
pins are fully seated in the down position. This
can be done by pressing firmly in on the unit
while pushing the locking pin down with a small
screwdriver. This ensures that the unit is
properly locked and will not accidentally come
out from the dashboard. Install the detachable
front panel.
Removal
1. Remove the detachable front panel.
2. Use a small screwdriver (or similar tool) to push the
locking pins to the "up" position (see above drawing).
As each pin is unlocked, gently pull out on the unit to
make sure it does not re-lock before unlocking the
second pin.
Pull the unit out, keeping it unlocked as you do so.
