Mounting Sleeve Installation
1.Slide the mounting sleeve off the chassis. If it is locked into position, use the removal tools (supplied) to disengage it.
2.Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it.
If the opening is too small, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check for sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.
3.Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom, and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary to firmly secure the sleeve to the dashboard.
