MOUNTING THE STEREO
Setting the Shaft Spacing
The size of pre-existing openings in the
dash or installation kit determines the
best spacing between the stereo’s shafts
(knobs).
The space between the shafts is preset to
5
1
/
8
inches (130 mm). If needed, you can
change the spacing to 5
3
/
8
inches (136
mm), 5
9
/
16
inches (142 mm), or 5
13
/
16
inch-
es (148 mm).
Measure the size of the pre-existing
openings in the dash or installation kit.
Then, if you need to change the shaft
spacing, follow these steps.
1. Make sure the ignition is turned off,
then disconnect the cable from your
vehicle’s negative (
–
) battery termi-
nal.
2. Disconnect the wiring harness and
the antenna.
3. Loosen the shaft nuts on both
shafts. Then move each shaft posi-
tioner to the correct pair of holes as
shown.
Note: If necessary, you can turn one
or both shaft positioners 180° so
they fit the mounting holes.
4. Tighten the shaft nuts on both
shafts.
Completing the Installation

nected properly (see “Testing the Con-
nections” on Page 7), follow these steps
to mount the stereo.
1. Make sure the ignition is turned off,
then disconnect the cable from your
vehicle’s negative (
–

nal.
