Check that the set will not hamper operation of the shift lever before choosing the place of installation.(Figure 2)
   

3. Install the unit within 30° of the horizontal plane.
   (Figure 3)
   

4. If you have to do any work on the car body, such as drilling holes, consult your car dealer beforehand.

5. Use the enclosed screws for installation. Using other screws can cause damage. (Figure 4)
   

6. The source unit has mounting screw holes for NISSAN (N marks) and TOYOTA (T marks) vehicles.
   

INSTALLING THE MAIN UNIT

■ Universal Mount

1. Place the universal mounting bracket into the instrument panel, use a screwdriver to bend each stopper of the universal mounting bracket inward, then secure the stopper as shown in Figure 6.
2. Wire as shown in Section 8.
3. Insert the main unit into the universal mounting bracket until it locks.
4. Mount the outer escutcheon so that all the hooks are locked.

Notes:

1. Some car models require special mounting kits for proper installation. Consult your Clarion dealer for details.
2. Fasten the front stopper securely to prevent the main unit from coming loose.

■ Fixed Mount (TOYOTA, NISSAN and other ISO/DIN equipped vehicles)

This unit is designed for fixed installation in the dashboard.
If the vehicle is equipped with a factory-installed radio, install the main unit with the parts and screws marked (∗). (Figure 8)
If the vehicle is not equipped with a factory-installed radio, obtain an installation kit to install the main unit in the following procedure.

1. Remove the screws from both side of the main unit. Then, at either side, lift the leaf spring until the engaging claws are released from the holes, and slide the spring to the direction of arrow to remove it. Repeat the same for the other side to remove the  springs from the both sides. (Figure 7)
2. Secure the mounting brackets to the chassis as shown in Figure 8. Holes are pre-tapped for TOYOTA and NISSAN vehicles; modification, such as drilling new holes, of the mounting brackets may be required for other models.
3. Wire as shown in Section 8.
4. Secure the unit in the dashboard, and then reassemble the dashboard and the centre panel.
   Note 1 : In some cases, the centre panel may require some modification (trimming, filling, etc.).
   Note 2 : If a hook on the installation bracket interferes with the unit, bend and flatten it with a nipper or a similar tool.

REMOVING THE MAIN UNIT

1. When the rear of the main unit has been secured with the method shown in Figure 6 unfasten the special screw.
2. Remove the outer escutcheon.
3. Insert the hook plate between the spring and the universal mounting bracket, fit tab B of the spring into hole A of the hook plate, then pull the main unit out by the hook plate. (Insert both the right and left edges of the hook plate.) (Figure 9)
   Note: Keep the hook plate. You cannot remove the main unit without disengaging the hook plate.

CAUTIONS ON WIRING

1. Be sure to turn the power off before wiring.

2. Be particularly careful where you route the wires.
   Keep them well away from the engine, and exhaust pipe, etc. Heat may damage the wires.

3. If the fuse should blow, check to see if the wiring is correct.
   If it is, replace the fuse with a new one with the same amperage rating as the original.

4. When any fuse is to be replaced, pull out the fuse (15A) at the rear of the tuner amp unit and put in a new one (Fig.10).
   CAUTION
   After the connection, fix the lead by a clamp or insulation tape for protection.

5. To replace the fuse, release the catch on the main unit side, remove the old fuse and insert the new one. (Figure 11)
   Note: There are various types of fuse holder. Do not let the battery side touch other metal parts.

WIRE CONNECTION

∗1: When the unit is installed in a 1998 or later Volkswagen model, make sure to interrupt the <> output. Disconnect the <<blue/white>> wire and insulate the front ends of this lead.
A breakdown may occur if the lead is not disconnected, or front ends are not insulated.
∗2: In certain vehicles – Volkswagen/Opel/Vauxhall – it is necessary to exchange the accessory <> and the main power <> connection, to avoid overload and loss of memory.
