Attaching/detaching the control panel
The car sound system is equipped with a detach- able control panel (release panel) to protect your equipment against theft. In the delivery state, the control panel is in the supplied case. To start op- erating the radio after installation, you must first attach the control panel (see the section "Attach- ing the control panel" in this chapter).
Always take the control panel with you when leav- ing the vehicle. The car sound system is worthless to a thief without this control panel.
