Installation
This unit is designed for installation in cars, trucks and vans with an existing radio opening. In
many cases, a special installation kit will be required to mount the radio to the dashboard.
These kits are available at electronics supply stores and car stereo specialty shops. Always
check the kit application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle.
If you have trouble locating a kit or need installation assistance, contact Technical Support at 1-
800-323-4815 from 8:30am to 7:00pm EST Monday through Friday and from 9:00am to
5:00pm EST on Saturday.
Universal Installation Using Mounting Sleeve
1.
Remove the detachable front panel if it is attached to the chassis by pushing the
“Release” button. (See page 12 for details.)
2.
Slide the mounting sleeve off of the chassis if not already removed. If it is locked into
position, use the removal tools (supplied) to disengage it.
3.
Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is
not large enough, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the
opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check that
there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.
4.
Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom and sides of the mounting sleeve.
With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs
outward as necessary so that the sleeve is firmly secured to the dashboard.
5.
Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so that the wiring can be brought
through the mounting sleeve.
6.
Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections of the wiring harness
are secure and insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper
operation of the unit.
7.
After completing the wiring connections, attach the front panel and turn the unit on to
confirm operation (vehicle ignition switch must be on). If unit does not operate, recheck all
wiring until problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn off the ignition
switch and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.
8.
Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve making sure it is right-side-up until it is
fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.
9.
Attach one end of the perforated support strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the rear of
the chassis using the hex nut provided. Fasten the other end of the perforated strap to a
secure part of the dashboard either above or below the radio using the screw and hex nut
provided. Bend the strap to position it as necessary.
CAUTION: The rear of the radio
must be supported with the strap to prevent damage to the dashboard from the
weight of the radio or improper operation due to vibration.
10. Re-attach the front panel to the chassis, then test radio operation by referring to the
operating instructions for the unit.
