FITTING GUIDE
1. Unclip the top cover using a panel removal tool. This will uncover 2x torx screws atop the main radio.
Undo these screws and using a panel tool, begin to pry the panel out of the dashboard, disconnecng the
wiring in the process.
1. Open the passenger side door and proceed to pull away the door trim from the pillar.
STEREO REMOVAL
DAB ANTENNA INSTALLATION
2. Using a set of panel removal tools, begin to pry away the pillar casing.
4. The DAB antenna not only has a self adhesive backing, but also features a black earth sheet. When plac-
ing the DAB antenna, the earth sheet MUST be placed onto the metal part of the pillar. The antenna itself
must be located roughly 15cm from the top of the windscreen.
Note: this antenna must not be placed atop any kind of heang elements, this will interfere with the
antenna’s signal.
5. Once happy with the placement, take the 3m of wiring extension and feed it down through to the
stereo’s opening. With the wiring adjusted to the appropriate length, feel free to re-install the glovebox.
3. The glovebox will need to be dropped down to route the antennas wiring. To do this, open the glovebox
and locate the two plasc tabs holding it in place. Bend them back whilst pulling down to release.
FASCIA PLATE SET-UP
DASH MODIFICATION
Some plascs will need to be cut and removed from the dashboard to make space for the new car stereo.
Measure where the stereo will sit and take due care when modifying the vehicle. TopVehicleTech always promote the
help of professional installers. TopVehicleTech will not be held responsible for any damage to the vehicle.
1. Once you have taken the main fascia panel o, you will need to transfer the air vents to the new fascia.
To do this you will need to disengage the clips and in some cases undo a screw at the top of each vent.
When free, simply re-locate onto the new fascia.
2. Take the new hazard switch that comes with the kit and place into the new fascia. You will need to take
the “passenger airbag” LED light out of the pre-exisng fascia and relocate it to the new fascia also.
3. Aach the brackets to either side of the radio. When aached, roughly test t the radio and bracket
combinaon in relaon to the new fascia, doing this, you can best measure whether the brackets need
moving forwards/backwards.
If the modicaon has not yet taken place, then the radio will not t correctly. Refer to the images
above when modifying the vehicle.
