- Using a blade or dremel tool, proceed to cut the portion of the interior dash highlighted. This allow the new head unit to sit higher and in align with the fascia plate.
KIT ASSEMBLY - Attach the new Double DIN Brackets to the aftermarket head unit utilising the screws within the kit.
- With the brackets attached to the head unit, offer the whole unit to the back of the new Double DIN Fascia. Use the plastic inserts at the bottom of both the Brackets and the Fascia as a guide.
- After connecting all the necessary wiring, begin to install the new Double DIN Fascia with the aftermarket head unit into the dashboard. Firmly press down around the edges to ensure it clips into place – this will complete the installation.
