Installation
Notes:
- Choose a mounting location where the unit
will not distract the driver.
- Before the installation of the unit, connect
the wiring temporarily and make sure it is
all connected properly and the unit and the
system works.
- Use only the parts included with the unit
to ensure proper installation. The use of
unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.
- Consult with your dealer if installation
requires the drilling of holes or other
modifications of the vehicle.
- Install the unit where it does not get in
the driver’s way and cannot injure the
passenger if there is a sudden stop, like an
emergency stop.
- If installation angle exceeds 30° from
horizontal, the unit may not perform
properly.
- Avoid installing the unit where it will be
subject to high temperature, such as from
direct sunlight, or from hot air, from the
heater, or where it would be subject to dust,
dirt or excessive vibration.

connect the cable from the vehicle battery
negative (-) terminal.
2. Disconnect the wire harness and the
antenna.

4. Lift the top of the outer trim ring. Then
pull it out to remove it.
5. The two supplied keys release tabs
inside the unit’s sleeve so you can remove
it. Insert the keys as far as they will go (with
the notches facing up) into the appropriate
slots at the center of the left and right sides
of the unit. Then slide the sleeve off the
back of the unit.
6. Mount the sleeve by inserting it into the
opening of the dashboard and bend open
the tabs located around the sleeve with
a screwdriver. Not all tabs will be able to
make contact, so examine the opening to
determine which tabs will be most effective.
Bend open the appropriate tabs behind the
dashboard to secure the sleeve in place.
7. Reconnect the wire harness and the an-
tenna, being careful not to pinch any wires
or cables.
8. Slide the unit into the sleeve until it locks
into place.
9. To further secure the unit, use the sup-
plied metal strap to secure the back of the
unit in place. Use the supplied hardware
(Hex Nut (M5mm) and Spring Washer) to
attach one end of the strap to the mounting
bolt on the back of the unit. If necessary,
bend the metal strap to fit your vehicle’s
mounting surface. Then use the supplied
hardware (Tapping Screw (5x25mm) and
Plain Washer) to attach the other end of
the metal strap to a solid metal part of the
vehicle under the dashboard. This strap
also helps ensure proper electrical ground-
ing of the unit.

battery’s negative (-) terminal. Then replace
the outer trim ring and install the unit’s front
panel (see the steps of ‘to install the front
panel’).
