STEP 4: Adjust to Fit Your Vehicle Specific Kit
One of the most frequent questions we get is "How can your radio fit my car?".
The Model Two radio is a universal solution (one chassis for most vehicles) and
its control face is a fixed size (3.5" W x 1.5" H). Most American cars fit the radio
and the bezel from behind the dash. The bezel fits around the Model Two con-
trol face to fill the original factory opening.
The Model Two control face is NOT referred to as a faceplate. A faceplate is a
piece that overlays or covers the top or front of the dash. A faceplate is used in
most European or Japanese cars, and can also be used on a modified dash to
disguise any blemishes or poorly made modifications.
Locate the appropriate bezel or faceplate and perform the following steps to-
mount the radio behind the dash opening:
FACEPLATE: Use the supplied nuts and washers to align the faceplate onto the
shaft. DO NOT overtighten. Once the shafts are lined up to the shaft openings
on your vehicle-specific faceplate, use a nut and washer to hold the faceplate in
place on the shafts. Adjust the nut height so that the faceplate aligns flush with
your dash and the radio's control face. See "Figure 4 - Install Vehicle Specific
Faceplate".
BEZEL: Place the bezel on the face of the radio and install through the back
opening of your dash.
NOTE: With the faceplate pictured below, the area around the radio face
(chrome or black) mounts on top of the dash.
