2.1 Installation Location
Most installations will require you to remove the factory radio in order to plug in the vehicle
specific harness. Some vehicles may require you to connect the interface to a factory
pre-run CD changer cable. The location of these CD changer cables will vary by vehicle.
Some common locations of these cables are in the trunk, behind the glove box, and in or
under a center console. ( see Fig.2 below)
