The display can be installed Flat or with a Horizontal Angle towards the driver. For flat mounting,
attach the Clamp Assembly (1) to the display using M4 X 14 screws (FIG. A). If a horizontal angle
is desired, insert the Angle Plate (2) in between the clamp and display and replace 2 of the M4 X
14 screws with longer M4 X 18 screws on the thicker side of the angle plate (FIG. B). Center the
bracket on the back of the display as a starting point, and if needed you can adjust up or down.

2. Making sure to use all 8 screws, loosely attach the radio module & mounting bracket assembly to the side
kit brackets (FIG. C).
a. (4x) #10 X 3/8 screws for the plastic mounting bracket locations
b. (4x) M5 X 10 or (4x) M4 X 10 screws for the radio module locations (use any combination of screws
to locate the radio in the best position)

4. Determine the desired position of the display:
a. Display can be vertical or tilted up (FIG. E)
b. Display can slide up or down (Page 7)
c. Display can be tilted horizontally (Page 7 – FIG. B)
Note: There are multiple mounting holes on
the mounting bracket to allow adjusting the
mounting depth. You may drill additional holes
in the mounting bracket and/or the dash kit
brackets to align the display in the best position
and ensure you can use all 8 mounting screws.
5. Once in the desired position, tighten screws
to the radio chassis (top) and mounting bracket
assembly (bottom).
Note: If the display prevents the factory dash
panel(s) from being installed last, do not push
the display all the way up against the dash
kit. Leave enough bottom gap as the display's
bottom edge rotates towards the dash kit.
6. Remove the display from the bracket
assembly by pushing up from compression
spring side (1) and swing out to unhook top (2).
(FIG. F)
Note: If there is a depth issue with the radio
module in the top position, move it to the
bottom location by inverting the mounting
bracket assembly. (FIG. G)
VERTICAL TILT: Use Hole A for no vertical
tilt or Hole B for 8 degrees of vertical tilt.
Insert a M5 X 10 on each side of the clamp
assembly at desired tilt.

Display Adjustment & Mounting:
1. Use all 8 kit mounting screws to attach the radio module & plastic mounting bracket assembly to the kit
brackets at the front most location (not to exceed the front of the kit bracket). (FIG. H)
a. (4x) #10 X 3/8 screws for the bottom locations
b. (4x) M5 X 10 or (4x) M4 X 10 screws for the radio module locations (use any combination of screws to
locate the radio in the best position)
Note: There are multiple mounting holes on the
plastic mounting bracket to allow adjustment of the
mounting depth. You may drill additional holes in
the mounting bracket and/or the dash kit brackets to
align the display in the best position and ensure you
can use all 8 mounting screws.
2. Install the assembly (from Step 1) into the vehicle
(using factory screws/bolts).
3. Install the dash kit main frame and any factory
panels that would affect the display installation.
Note: If there is a depth issue with the radio
module in the top position, move it to the bottom
location by inverting the mounting bracket
assembly. (FIG. I)

5. Determine the desired position of the display:
a. Display can be vertical or tilted up (FIG. K)
b. Display can slide up or down (Page 7)
c. Display can be tilted horizontally (Page 7 – FIG. B)
6. Determine the final front to back position by
measuring the shortest distance between the
display to the dash kit main frame or the factory
dash and subtract that distance/measurement by
~6.35mm
Note: Do not push the display all the way up
against the dash. Leave enough bottom gap as
the display's bottom edge rotates towards the
dash.
7. Remove the display from the bracket
assembly by pushing up from compression
spring side (1) and swing out to unhook top (2).
(FIG. L)
8. Remove the radio module & mounting
bracket assembly from the vehicle. Using the
measurement taken in step 6, slide the radio
module & bracket assembly back to that
distance.

Display Adjustment & Mounting:
1. Use all 8 kit mounting screws to attach the radio module & plastic mounting bracket assembly to the
factory brackets. (FIG. M)
a. (4x) #10 X 3/8 screws for the bottom locations
b. (4x) M5 X 10 or (4x) M4 X 10 screws for the top locations (radio module).
If factory bracket is thinner than 1mm, add a washer to space the screws out.
Note: There are multiple mounting holes on the
plastic mounting bracket to allow adjusting the
mounting depth. You may drill additional holes in
the mounting bracket and/or the factory brackets
to align the display in the best position and
ensure you can use all 8 mounting screws.
2. Install the assembly (from Step 1) into the
vehicle (using factory screws/bolts).
3. Install the dash kit main frame and any factory
