Tools for Installation: Philips Screw-drivers /Machine Screws /Wire Stripper /Wire Cutter /Hammer /Pencil /Electrical Tape /Electric Drill Supplies for Installation: Machine Screws /Crimp Connectors /14 Gauge Wire for Power Connections /14-16 Gauge Speaker Wires The above are not supplied.

Before you install
Automotive audio equipment installations can be challenging even to the most experienced of installation technicians. We strongly recommend that this unit should be professionally installed by a VAT registered installer (this is a requirement to validate the warranty).

IMPORTANT: Remove the two transport screws from the top fo the unit before installing.

Remove the Old Unit from the Dashboard

1. Remove the outer trim frame.
2. Insert the keys supplied with the old unit into both sides of the unit as shown in figure below until they click. Pull to remove the old unit from the dashboard.

Mark Polarity of the Speaker Wires
Marking the polarity of the speaker wirers will make it easier to connect the existing speakers to your car radio. Consult wiring diagram of existing head unit before disconnecting any wires. If you are not positive of the polarity of the existing wires from the speakers to the head unit, install new wires.

1. While the old unit is playing, disconnect the wires from one speaker.
2. Take a length of masking tape and fold it around the wire so it forms a flag.
3. On the masking tape mark the polarity of the speaker wires (+&-), as well as left or right, and front or rear.
4. Double check that you marked the first speaker correctly by checking that the speaker wires are the same at the head unit.
5. Repeat this procedure for all of the speakers.
6. Mark the power, ground, and any other wires also.

WARNING!
Disconnect negative battery terminal from battery before starting installation. Consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual for proper instructions.

NOTE:

• Mark the polarity of the existing speaker wires before disconnecting battery.
• Remove the two transport screws from the top of the unit before installing.
• Make sure there is enough space for the installation of this single-din in-dash.
