DASH MODIFICATION
The highlighted area above needs to be cut out of the dashboard in order for a
double DIN unit to sit correctly. When doing this, ensure that you do not cut
the 2x plastic notches.
When performing a modification of the vehicle, always ensure to measure where
the stereo will sit and take due care when
performing cuts to the vehicle. Connects2 always promote the use and expertise
of professional installers. Connects2 will not be held responsible for any
damage to the vehicle.
