Vehicle Disassembly
1. Insert a plastic trim tool along the bottom edge of the climate controls to release the
four retaining clips. Unplug the two connectors from the climate controls.
2. Remove the four 10mm bolts located below the Hazard/Clock panel.

5
Vehicle Disassembly
5. Remove and save both plastic clips (1)
from the lower mounting studs.
3. Using two hands behind the Hazard/Clock area, pull the radio assembly
outward to release the retaining clips on the sides and top. Pull entire radio
assembly forward, disconnect all wire harnesses from rear of radio and Hazard/
Clock panel and remove the radio assembly.
4. From the backside of the
factory radio assembly, use a
at blade screwdriver to care-
fully remove the Hazard/Clock
module. Apply light pressure to
the front of the Hazard/Clock
module while prying the thin
plastic strip around the module
housing outward to release the
module from the radio panel.
NOTE: There are two retaining
snaps on the top and bottom
edges, and one on each side.
NOTE: The metal side brackets
not shown. Removing the side
brackets from the radio will
make removing the Hazard/
Clock module easier, but
is not necessary.

GPS Antenna
From the HEIGH10 Box:
GPS Antenna
GPS Mounting Plate
Parts Needed:
The GPS antenna is required for proper operation of Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto. Along the back of the inner dash opening, there is a air duct (shown shaded
in gray below) running across the top. The metal mounting plate can be attached
to the top of the air duct on the left side.
1. Clean the top of the air duct.
2. Remove the backing paper from the adhesive tape on the mounting plate.

1. On the inside of the metal socket there are two plastic clips engaged into the
metal, normally top and bottom.
2. Using a bent pick tool, push in on the clips while turning the socket counter-
clockwise and pushing outward from the back of the socket.
3. Once the metal socket is removed and unplugged, there are two retaining clips
on the side of the plastic trim/cover. Depress the clips while pushing outward.
5. Route the two USB cables through the front of the panel and up to the radio
opening.
6. Thread the two USB cables through the two locking nuts and thread the locking
nuts onto the back of the USB socket.
USB Extension
Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and any Firmware Updates require access to a
USB port. The SSUSB2 is designed to extend the USB ports on the back of the
HEIGH10 to where they are accessible once the radio is installed.
For this installation, one of the factory 12V power outlets will be replaced with the
SSUSB2. You may chose to follow these steps, or mount the USB port somewhere
else in the vehicle.
