Installation Note: • Before making a final installation of the unit, tem- porarily connect the wiring to confirm that the connections are correct and the system works properly. • 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 of the vehicle. • Install the unit where it does not get in the driver's way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop. • Do not place the display (sold separately) in a position where it will impede the driver's visibility or affect the operation of your vehicle's air bags. • The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it overheats, so don't install the unit anywhere hot - for instance, near a heater outlet. • If installation angle exceeds 30° from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum performance. • If the hide-away unit is installed under a front seat, make sure it does not obstruct seat movement. Route all leads and cords carefully around the sliding mechanism so they do not get caught or pinched in the mechanism and cause a short circuit. MODE Switch Setting Before installing, use a pen tip or other thin, pointed instrument to set the MODE Switch to the appropriate position for the component you are using it with. IP BUS STAND ALONE Installing the hide-away unit • When mounting the hide-away unit, make sure none of the leads are trapped between the hideaway unit and the surrounding metalwork or fittings. • Do not mount the hide-away unit near the heater outlet, where it would be affected by heat, or near the doors, where rainwater might splash onto it. • Before drilling any mounting holes always check behind where you want to drill the holes. Do not drill into the gas line, brake line, electrical wiring or other important parts. • If the hide-away unit is installed in the passenger compartment, anchor it securely so it does not break free while the car is moving, and cause injury or an accident. Mounting with Velcro Tape Thoroughly wipe off the surface before affixing the velcro tape. Hide-away unit Velcro tape (large) (hard) Velcro tape (large) (soft) Car mat or chassis DIN Front/Rear-mount This unit can be properly installed either from "Front" (conventional DIN Front-mount) or "Rear" (DIN Rear-mount installation, utilizing threaded screw holes at the sides of unit chassis). For details, refer to the following illustrated installation methods. DIN Front-mount Installation with the rubber bush Dashboard 182 53 Holder After inserting the holder into the dashboard, then select the appropriate tabs according to the thickness of the dashboard material and bend them. (Install as firmly as possible using the top and bottom tabs. To secure, bend the tabs 90 degrees.) Rubber bush Screw Frame Removing the unit Frame To remove the frame, extend top and bottom of the frame outwards in order to unlock it. (When reattaching the frame, point the side with a groove downwards and attach it.) • It becomes easy to remove the frame if the front panel is released. Insert the supplied extraction keys into the unit, as shown in the figure, until they click into place. Keeping the keys pressed against the sides of the unit, pull the unit out.

Fastening the unit to the factory radio mounting bracket. Select a position where the screw holes of the bracket and the screw holes of the head unit become aligned (are fitted), and tighten the screws at 2 places on each side. Use either truss screws (5 × 8 mm) or flush surface screws (5 × 8 mm), depending on the shape of the screw holes in the bracket.
