•
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.
•
If the installation angle exceeds 20 degrees from the horizontal, the unit may not give its optimum performance.

ISO connector Nowadays cars are fitted with an ISO connector that is ready-wired to all speakers and power leads within the car. NOTE: Some older cars will not have an ISO connector. In these cases you will need to obtain a “patch cable assembly” that connects to the connector that is fitted. The other end of this cable has an ISO connector to mate with that from this unit. This unit is fitted with an ISO connector plug that will mate with the carfitted ISO connector socket thereby providing a very simple wiring installation. See page 8.
