Vehicle-specific mounting kits let you install select satellite radio tuners
(or controller/displays) in hard-to-fit vehicles without modifying the dash.
These typically bolt to the dash frame and offer a backing plate for mounting
the tuner’s cradle (you’ll still need the tuner’s car accessory kit; you just won’t
use the included mounting hardware).
There are three advantages to vehicle-specific mounts:
1.
Vehicle-specific mounts fit in convenient spots (selected by the
manufacturer) that do not interfere with dash features such as climate
controls and air-conditioning vents.
2.
Vehicle-specific mounts are designed to blend-in well visually.
3.
Since vehicle-specific mounts are bolted into place, the installation is more
sturdy and permanent-looking than standard adhesive-pad methods.
Installation of a vehicle-specific mount varies from vehicle to vehicle. In general,
though, you’ll likely have to engage in some dash disassembly and reassembly.
The instructions included with the mount will guide you through the process for
your vehicle.
Once you’ve installed the mount, you will need to attach the vehicle kit cradle to
the bracket. This can be done by matching the bolt pattern on the bracket with
the small screw holes on the back panel of the tuner’s cradle and using the
screws that come with the mount. You can also choose to use the self-adhesive
pad to attach the cradle to the mount arm, though this is less secure than
using screws.
Note:
Vehicle-specific mounts are not available for all vehicles. Check our online
fit database by clicking on “What fits my car?” at Crutchfield.com or call a Sales
Advisor to see if we have one for yours.
Vehicle-specific mounts bolt to the dash frame and provide a convenient platform for
mounting a plug-and-play tuner.
Optional Vehicle-specific Mounts
Always be careful when drilling or cutting in a vehicle.
Be aware of things such as wiring, windows, fuel lines
and safety devices. Check drilling/cutting depth and loca-
tion to avoid damage to vehicle appearance.
