INSTALLATION GUIDE

INSTALLATION GUIDE

1. Begin by using 4x radio release keys to release the main head unit. (release keys sold separately)
   Once the head unit is out, carefully pull the whole unit out of the dashboard and disconnect all of the wiring.
   
2. With the main head unit out of the dashboard, undo the following three screws to release the main fascia.
   
3. Using a panel removal tool, remove the main fascia off the dashboard and disconnect the air vent LED connection in the process.
   BRACKET ASSEMBLY
4. Attach the brackets to the new stereo using the screws within the kit.
   These brackets need to be attached upright so that the metal tab is at the top (see image for correct orientation).
   DASH MODIFICATION
   
5. At this point, you will need to modify the dashboard. Using a file or a cutting tool, begin to file away the inside lip of the four highlighted corners of the main dash cavity.
   Take due care not to remove too much of the interior plastic. During this modification, it is best to test fit the unit (with brackets attached) in between cutting, to ensure the perfect fit.
   DASH ASSEMBLY
6. Once happy with the modification, connect any/all the stereo connections and stow the head unit into the dash cavity (see image for correct orientation).
   
7. Once the head unit is flush with the dashboard, bring back the OEM fascia and install this over the new stereo (connecting the air vent LED connector in the process).
   
8. Take the lower bracket and place it as seen in the image. This then needs to be screwed into place using the long bolts that come with the kit.
   
9. Once the lower bracket has finally been installed, place the fascia over top. The magnets found on the rear will firmly hold it in place. This will then complete the installation.
