Mounting Sleeve Installation
Push
the
RELEASE button and remove the detachable front
panel from the chassis.
Remove the trim ring by fi rmly grasping one side and
pulling.
Remove the mounting sleeve.
a. Insert the removal keys straight back until they lock. If
removal keys are inserted at an angle, they will not lock 
properly to release the unit.
b. Slide the mounting sleeve off the chassis.
Install the mounting sleeve in the dashboard.
a. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the
mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is not large 
enough, carefully cut or fi le 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.
b. 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 fi rmly secure the 
sleeve to the dashboard.
Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the
wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve.
Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all
connections are secure and insulated with crimp connectors 
or electrical tape to ensure proper operation. 
WARNING! Only connect the unit to a 12-volt power supply 
with proper grounding.
After completing the wiring connections, attach the front
panel and turn the unit on to confi rm operation (vehicle 
ignition switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until the problem is corrected. 
Once proper operation is achieved, turn the ignition switch off and proceed with fi nal mounting of the 
chassis.
Carefully slide the radio into the half-sleeve, making sure it is right-side-up until it is fully seated and the
spring clips lock it into place.
Secure the rear of the unit to the car body using the mounting bolt and rubber cushion.
Re-attach the decorative trim ring.
Re-attach the front panel to the chassis and test radio operation by referring to the operating instructions
for the unit.
NOTE: For proper 
operation of the CD/
MP3 player, the chas-
sis must be mounted 
within 20° of horizon-
tal. Make sure the 
unit is mounted within 
this limitation.
