DIN Rear-mount
Installation using the screw holes on
the side of the unit
• Fastening the unit to the factory
radio mounting bracket. (Fig. 13)
(Fig. 14) (Fig. 15)
Select a position where the screw holes
of the bracket and the screw holes of
this product become aligned (are fitted),
and tighten the screws at 2 places on
each side. Use any of binding screws (4
×
3 mm), binding screws (5
×
6 mm) or
flush surface screws (5
×
6 mm),
depending on the shape of the screw
holes in the bracket.
*1 Use binding screws (4
×
3 mm) only.

Note:
• Before finally installing the unit, connect the
wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connected
up properly, and the unit and the system work
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 in a position where it will
impede the driver’s visibility or affect the opera-
tion 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.

• The cords must not cover up the area shown in the
figure below. This is necessary to allow the ampli-
fires to radiate freely. (Fig. 8)

•
When mounting the hide-away unit, make sure
none of the leads are trapped between the hide-
away unit and the surrounding metalwork or fit-
tings.
•
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.
•
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.
•
If the hide-away unit is installed under a front
seat, make sure it does not obstruct seat move-
ment. 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.
Installing the hide-away unit
• Install the hide-away unit with
the velcro tape. (Fig. 9)
• Thoroughly wipe off the surface
before affixing the velcro tape.
• Direct installation on the carpet is
possible if the hard velcro tape will
adhere to the carpet. Do not use the
soft velcro tape in this case.
