Slide the CDE-9870R 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.
3. Pull the unit out, keeping it unlocked as you do so.
