Installation

Note:

Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connect- ed up properly, and the unit and the system work properly.

Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.

Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifica- tions of the vehicle.
