After all connections are made, install the main unit to the
dashboard.

This unit is designed to be completely safe, but if not installed
correctly, it can cause accidents. Be sure to verify the following
points before installation.
Install the main unit to the in-dash location, and the amplifier unit
under the navigator’s seat, etc.
• If the monitor in the opened position is close to a air-

conditioning outlet, the outlet should be closed.

• Install the unit so that the monitor when opened up will not

block access to the hazard switch or other important controls.

• Do not install the unit (monitor) in locations which may be

subject to excessively low or high temperatures. (Otherwise the
unit may be deformed and the LCD may be damaged.)
Exposure to direct sunlight can also lead to high temperatures
and should be avoided.

Installation procedure precautions
• Perform the installation carefully. Dropping the unit or

otherwise subjecting it to strong impact or force may deform
the chassis, resulting in failure of the monitor loading
mechanism or other defects.

• To allow for proper opening and closing of the monitor, there

must be a clearance of at least 170 mm between the closest
position of the shift lever and the mounting surface for the unit.

• In some cases, the shift lever may touch the monitor when

moved to a certain position. Make sure that there is no
obstruction to driving operations.

• When installing this unit together with other car audio

equipment (single DIN slot size) in a stacked configuration,
install the main unit on top.

Mounting example
When installing this unit, be sure to close the monitor of the unit.
If the monitor is opened while installing and given too much
force, it may cause a malfunction.
