You will need a preparation kit, available at electronics stores and car audio specialists, to mount the radio on the dashboard. Check the kit to ensure it is correct for your vehicle.

1. Lift the left or right top corner of the plastic outer trim ring, then pull it out to remove it.

2. Insert the two bracket keys into the left and right sides of the chassis to separate the chassis from the housing.

3. Install the mounting sleeve on the board. Check the opening size of the sliding panel to be mounted. If the opening is not large enough, carefully cut it until it fits easily. Do not force the handle into the opening. Locate the series of mounting tabs above, below, and on all sides of the sleeve. Completely insert it into the opening of the board, and bend the tabs as necessary outward to ensure it fits the board.

4. Slide the stereo into the opening in the dash, ensuring that the wires behind it are tucked in and not pinched.

5. Follow the wiring diagram carefully. Verify that you’ve connected them correctly. CAUTION! Connect the unit to a 12-volt power source with adequate grounding.

6. With all wires connected, attach the front panel and turn on the unit (the vehicle must be switched on). If the unit does not work, re-check the connections. With the new car stereo secured into the bracket, plug the wiring harness back into the stereo and put the assembly back into place.

7. Slide the stereo into the opening in the dash, ensuring the wires behind are tucked in and not pinched. This may take a few attempts if the dash opening is tight.

8. Install the plastic outer trim ring.

9. Snap all trim pieces back into place over the stereo. Double-check that all screws and trim pieces are secure. Test the new stereo by turning the car power on and experimenting with its settings.
