120955817 Dash Kit

Product Information:

The product mentioned in the user manual is the 120 95-5817
Double-DIN Receiver Installation Kit. It is designed for vehicles
that require modifications to fit a Double-DIN receiver into the
dash. The installation kit allows for a proper fit of the receiver,
but it may require permanent modifications to the vehicle’s dash.
The kit is compatible with Ford vehicles manufactured between 1995
and 2011.

Product Usage Instructions:

Before starting the installation, ensure that you have the
necessary tools, including a file or rotary tool.
Read and understand the cautionary note provided in the manual.
Always exercise caution when cutting or drilling in a vehicle. Wear
eye protection and be mindful of wiring, windows, fuel lines, and
safety devices.
Begin by carefully removing portions from the top and bottom
rim of the dash opening as shown in the provided diagram. Use a
file or rotary tool for this step.
As you remove material from the dash, periodically measure or
test fit the receiver to ensure a proper fit. It is recommended to
remove portions gradually rather than removing too much material at
once.
During the test fitting process, make sure to use only the
receiver without the side brackets in place. If the receiver is
fully snapped into place, it cannot be removed without removing the
dash panel.
Once a proper fit is achieved, refer to the instructions
supplied with the 120 95-5817 installation kit to complete the
receiver installation.

Note: For any technical support or assistance, you can contact
customer support at 1-800-955-9094.

120 95-5817 Supplemental Instructions for Double-DIN Receiver Applications
Permanent modifications will be necessary in order to allow a Double-DIN receiver to fit into the dash of vehicles that use the 120 95-5817 installation kit. Removal of dash material is required. Once modifications are made, the factory unit may not properly fit if reinstalled.
Notes: Do not remove too much material. It is better to remove portions and measure or test fit as you go. Test fit using the receiver only. The side brackets should not be in place. If the receiver is fully snapped into place, it cannot be removed without the dash panel being removed.
1. Using a file or rotary tool, carefully remove portions from the top and bottom rim of the dash opening as shown.
2. Once a proper fit is achieved, complete receiver installation following instructions supplied with the 120 95-5817 installation kit.
