Installing the unit

Be sure to test all connections first, then follow these steps to install the unit.

1.Make sure the ignition is turned off. Dis- connect the cable from the vehicle battery negative (-) terminal.

2.Disconnect the wire harness and the antenna.

3.Press the RELEASE () on the front panel and remove the control panel (for details, refer to ‘Using the Detachable Front Panel’).

4.Lift the top of the outer trim ring. Then pull it out to remove it.

5.The two supplied keys release tabs inside the unit’s sleeve so you can remove it. Insert the keys as far as they will go (with the notches facing up) into the appropriate slots at the center of the left and right sides of the unit. Then slide the sleeve off the back of the unit.

6.Mount the sleeve by inserting it into the opening of the dashboard and bend open the tabs located around the sleeve with a screwdriver. Not all tabs will be able to make contact, so examine the opening to determine which tabs will be most effective. Bend open the appropriate tabs behind the dashboard to secure the sleeve in place.

7.Reconnect the wire harness and the an- tenna, being careful not to pinch any wires or cables.

8.Slide the unit into the sleeve until it locks into place.

9.To further secure the unit, use the sup- plied metal strap to secure the back of the unit in place. Use the supplied hardware (Hex Nut (M5mm) and Spring Washer) to attach one end of the strap to the mounting bolt on the back of the unit. If necessary, bend the metal strap to fit your vehicle’s mounting surface. Then use the supplied hardware (Tapping Screw (5x25mm) and Plain Washer) to attach the other end of the metal strap to a solid metal part of the vehicle under the dashboard. This strap also helps ensure proper electrical ground- ing of the unit.

10.Reconnect the cable to the vehicle battery’s negative (-) terminal. Then replace the outer trim ring and install the unit’s front panel (see the steps of ‘to install the front panel’).
