8. Mechanical installation
An installation cut-out for the car radio is provided in most vehicles. The choice of the installation location depends on
safety aspects. Therefore we recommend that you actually install the car radio in this place.
The device requires a DIN installation cut-out with the dimensions 182 x 53 mm; these dimensions are standardised
and most vehicle manufacturers comply with them.
Should there be no installation cut-out, please consult your car dealer about the correct place of installation for your
car radio.
Please select the place of installation carefully so that the device neither impedes the driver nor distracts
them from what is happening on the road.
Use the supplied installation material to guarantee a safe installation.
Any modifications to the vehicle that become necessary due to the installation of the car radio or other
components must always be carried out in such a manner that neither traffic safety nor the car stability is
affected. In most cases, cutting out a piece of sheet metal will render the type approval null and void.
Since the device becomes hot during operation, the place of installation must be heat-resistant.
Make sure before drilling the attachment holes that no electric cables, brake lines, fuel tank or similar can
be damaged.
When using tools to install your car's hi-fi components, follow the manufacturer's safety instructions.
When installing the car hi-fi system, consider the risk of accident which can arise from devices being torn
away in the case of an accident. Therefore, you should secure each component in a place where it cannot
be dangerous to passengers.
Before you install the device, check the depth of the installation recess. A minimum depth of 100 mm is
required for installation.
a) Installation into the radio recess
• Unlock the installation frame with the two unlocking keys (figure 1, item 1).
• Remove the installation frame towards the back of the device (figure 1, item 2).
• Insert the installation frame into the respective cut-out in the vehicle (fig. 2).
• Bend down some clips in the installation frame until the frame is securely fastened in the recess (fig. 3).
• When you have made all the electrical contacts (see "Electric Connection"), insert the device into the installation
frame until it locks in (fig. 4).
Keep the two unlocking keys in a safe place. You will need them for a later removal of the device.
