When your vehicle has the Bracket, mount the long hex bolt onto the rear panel of the CDA- 7878R and put the Rubber Cap on the hex bolt. If your vehicle does not have the Mounting Support, reinforce the head unit with the metal mounting strap (not supplied). Connect all the leads of the CDA-7878R according to details described in the CONNECTION section.

NOTE

For the screw *, provide a proper screw to the chassis installing location.

3 Slide the CDA-7878R into the dashboard. When the unit is in place, make sure the locking pins are fully seated in the down position. This can be done by pressing firmly in on the unit while pushing the locking pin down with a small screwdriver. This ensures that the unit is properly locked and will not accidentally come out from the dashboard. Install the Detachable Front Panel.
