Mechanical Installation
In most vehicles the manufacturers have included an installation slot for the car radio. The choice of the location of
the slot is made with safety aspects in mind. Therefore we recommend that you actually install the radio in this place.
The device requires a DIN installation slot with the dimensions 182x53mm; these dimensions are standardized and
usually the vehicle manufacturers keep to them.
Should there be no slot, please ask your car dealer about the correct place to install your car radio.
Please select the place of installation carefully so that the CD tuner doesn't influence the
driver's activity and does not distract the driver from the traffic.
Only use the supplied installation material to guarantee safe installation.
Any changes to the vehicle that become necessary for the installation of the CD tuner or other
components, must be carried out in such a way that neither the traffic security nor the stability
of the car are affected. With many cars, the vehicle warrant of fitness will lapse if you saw out
a section of the sheet metal.
As the CD tuner creates heat during operation, the place of installation must be heat-resistant.
Make sure before drilling the attachment holes that no electric cables, brake lines, the fuel tank
or similar are damaged.
When using tools to install your car hi-fi components, observe the manufacturer's safety
instructions.
When installing the car hi-fi system, take into consideration the risk of damage which may be
caused from devices being torn away in the case of an accident. Therefore, you should secure
every component in a place where it cannot be dangerous to passengers.
Before you install the system, check the depth of the installation slot.
Installation Position
The angle of installation must deviate less than 30° from horizontal. A CD tuner that is too far inclined may cause
problems when playing CDs.
