FITTING GUIDE
1. Open the passenger side door and proceed to pull away the door trim from the pillar.
DAB ANTENNA INSTALLATION
2. Using a set of panel removal tools, begin to pry away the pillar casing.
5. The DAB antenna not only has a self adhesive backing, but also features a black earth sheet. When
placing 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 heating elements, this will interfere with the
antenna’s signal.
6. 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. Firstly undo the 2x screws
that hold the kick panel in place and disconnect the wiring whilst removing.
DASH MODIFICATION
Some plastics 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.
STEREO REMOVAL
2. Using a bojo tool again, remove the air vent panel/air vents, when free, pull out of the dashboard and
disconnect the wiring behind.
3. Remove the 4x screws that surround the main radio/climate control panel. Once free, pull away from
the dashboard and disconnect the wirng.
4. With the main panel removed, undo the 2x scews on either side of the main radio and remove it whilst
disconnecting all of the wiring.
1. Begin by using a bojo tool to remove the panel below the climate control assembly and disconnect the
wire in the process.
5. Undo the two screws that hold the top display in place. You will need to remove the top display from
the dashboard to disconnect the LVDS connection. Note that the screens are delicate, so do take your time
with this step of the process. Once out and undone, leave to one side.
4. With the kick panel out of the way, you will then need to undo 2x bolts underneath as well as 3x screws
within the lip and 1x on the side of the glovebox. Once free, simply leave in the footwell.
