Installation and uninstall

Installation using half-sleeve

1. Install half-sleeve in the dashboard.
a. Install adapter if necessary (optional).
b. Install half-sleeve into adapter or dashboard
(use only the supplied screws). Do not force
the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend
or bow.
WARNING! Only connect the unit to a 12-
volt power supply with proper grounding.
c. Locate the series of bend-tabs along the top,
bottom and sides of the mounting sleeve. With
the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard
opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as
necessary so that the sleeve is firmly secured
to the dashboard.
2. Use the M5 x 6 screws (provided) to install the
mounting brackets to each side of the radio using
the holes indicated in the diagram. DO NOT USE
OTHER SCREWS.
3. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening
so the wiring can be brought through the
mounting sleeve.
4. Complete wiring as illustrated in the wiring
diagram. Once the wiring is complete, reconnect
the battery negative terminal. If there is no ACC
available, connect the ACC lead to the power
supply with a switch.
CAUTION! Be careful not to damage the car wiring.
5. After completing the wiring connections, turn the
unit on to confirm operation (ignition switch must
be on). If unit does not operate, recheck all wiring
until problem is corrected.
Once proper operation is achieved, turn off the
ignition switch and proceed with final mounting of
the chassis.
a. Connect wiring adapter to existing wiring
harness.
b. Connect antenna lead.
c. Carefully slide the radio into the half-sleeve,
making sure it is right-side-up. Use the supplied
screws to attach the radio to the half sleeve.

Using the cosmetic trim ring

Two cosmetic trim rings are packaged with the head unit
for installation flexibility. This unit will fit into most import
dashes with little or no modification to the dash board/
cavity. Some US domestic vehicle dashes will accept
a Double-DIN chassis, but there is usually a small gap
between the radio and dash piece after installation is
complete. In this case, use the appropriate trim ring to
conceal any gaps that may be present.
Note:
For proper operation of the CD/DVD player, the
chassis must be mounted within 30° of horizontal.
Make sure the unit is mounted within this limitation.
