FITTING GUIDE
STEREO REMOVAL
1. Using a panel removal tool remove the main fascia panel.
2. Once the panel is out of the way, undo the 4x screws that hold the radio in place and remove whilst
disconnecting the wiring.
DAB ANTENNA INSTALLATION
1. Open the passenger side door and proceed to pull away the door trim from the pillar.
2. Using a set of panel removal tools, begin to pry away the pillar casing.
3. The glovebox will need to be dropped down to route the antennas wiring. To do this, first open the
glovebox and unclip the glovebox side panel. You will need to remove 2x bolts atop the inside lip and 2x
underneath. Once free, simply leave in the footwell.
4. The DAB antenna not only has a self adhesive backing, but also features a black earth sheet. When plac-
ing the DAB antenna, the earth sheet MUST be placed onto the metal part of the pillar. The antenna itself
must be located roughly 15cm from the top of the windscreen.
Note: this antenna must not be placed atop any kind of heating elements, this will interfere with the
antenna's signal.
5. Once happy with the placement, take the 3m of wiring extension and feed it down through to the
stereo's opening. With the wiring adjusted to the appropriate length, feel free to re-install the glovebox.
FASCIA PLATE SET-UP
1. Transfer any/all clips from the back of the old fascia panel to the new fascia panel.
2. Attach the brackets that come with the kit to the relevant sides of the stereo. Place into the vehicle and
roughly test fit with the fascia to measure whether the brackets need moving forwards/backwards.
3. When happy with the alignment of the brackets, and the "Stereo Installation" process is complete,
screw the stereo into the dashboard utilising the pre-existing bolts and clip on the new fascia thereafter.
STEREO INSTALLATION
1. Take the steering wheel control interface in hand and connect both the 12-way stereo patch lead and
the 14-way steering wheel harness connectors to the corresponding sides.
2. Connect the bullet connector from the stereo patch lead to the 'steering wheel remote input' on the
back of the new stereo.
3. Connect the antenna adapter to both the pre-existing vehicle connection and to the back of the new
stereo.
4. Connect the DAB antenna's SMB connector to the back of the new stereo.
5. Connect the USB retention lead between the original connector and the back of the new stereo.
6. When all the above wires (and any additional accessories) have been connected, finally make the
connections between the stereo and the vehicles pre-existing connector.
