Important Notes  
Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is connected  
properly and the system works.  
Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of  
unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.  
Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other  
modifications to your vehicle.  
Install the unit where it does not interfere with driving and cannot injure passengers if  
there is a sudden or emergency stop.  
If the installation angle exceeds 30º from horizontal, the unit might not give optimum  
performance.  
Avoid installing the unit where it will be subject to high temperatures from direct sunlight,  
hot air, or from a heater, or where it would be subject to excessive dust, dirt or vibration.  
2. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is  
not large enough, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the  
opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check that  
there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.  
3. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom and sides of the mounting sleeve.  
With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs  
outward as necessary to firmly secure the sleeve to the dashboard.

4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the  
mounting sleeve.  
1. Slide the mounting sleeve off of the chassis if it has not already been removed. If it is  
locked into position, use the removal keys (supplied) to disengage it. Insert the keys  
through the holes in the front panel as far as they will go, and then slide the sleeve off the  
back of the unit.  
5. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and  
insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper operation.  
6. After completing the wiring connections, reconnect battery and turn the unit on to confirm  
operation (vehicle ignition switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, recheck all  
wiring until the problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn the ignition  
switch off and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.  
7. Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve making sure it is right-side-up until it is  
fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.  
8. Test radio operation by referring to the operating instructions for the unit.

The most common source of noise in reception is the ignition system. This is often a result of  
the radio being placed relatively close to the ignition system (engine). This type of noise can be  
easily detected because it will vary in intensity of pitch with the speed of the engine.

Usually, the ignition noise can be suppressed considerably by using a radio suppression type  
high voltage ignition wire and suppressor resistor in the ignition system. (Most vehicles employ  
this wire and resistor, but it may be necessary to check them for correct operation.) Another  
method of suppression is the use of additional noise suppressors. These can be obtained from  
most CB/A radio or electronic supply shops.

AS/PS (EXIT/SCH): Scans all stored presets  
in SAT or radio mode (any button press  
during PS will stop the scan).  
DISP (SCROLL): Sets clock. Scrolls ID3  
information.  
DN/DISC/UP: Moves to next/previous disc in  
CDC mode.  
EQ (LOUD): Turns on/selects preset

Interference  
Radio reception in a moving environment (automobile) is very different from reception in a  
stationary (home) environment. AM reception will deteriorate when passing through a tunnel or  
when passing under high voltage lines. Noise can be picked up from passing automobiles.  
Although AM is subject to environmental noise, it can received at great distances. This is  
because broadcasting signals follow the curvature of the earth and are reflected back by the  
upper atmosphere.  
PTY: Cycles though a list of RDS program types in FM radio mode (seek +/- is pressed to  
search the band for the selected program type). Scans all stored presets in SAT mode  
(any button press during PS will stop the scan).  
TA: Enters Traffic Announcement mode.
