MP13113 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS This unit is designed for installation in cars, trucks and vans with an existing radio opening. In many cases, a special installation kit will be required to mount the radio to the dashboard. These kits are available at electronics supply stores and car stereo specialty shops. Always check the kit application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle. Pre-installation 1. Disconnect Battery Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal. 2.Remove Transport Screws Universal Installation Using Mounting Sleeve 1. Remove the detachable front panel, if it is attached to the chassis, by pushing the Release button. 2. Slide the mounting sleeve off of the chassis if it has not already been removed. If it is locked into position, use the removal keys (supplied) to disengage it. The removal keys are depicted on page 5. 3. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is not large enough, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check that there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis. 4. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary to firmly secure the sleeve to the dashboard. 5. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve. 6. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper operation. 7. After completing the wiring connections, attach the front panel and turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle ignition switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until the problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn the ignition switch off and proceed with final mounting of the chassis. 8. Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve, making sure it is right-side-up, until it is fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place. D D R E IVER
