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.

Note

Selecting the installation location

Keep the units and connection cables

apart.

Set the ignition key to OFF or remove it.

Place the units in their intended mounting

locations to check the cable length and monitor

installation conditions.

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.

Shift lever

• 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 holes marked "T" on the side of the main unit, and use

the supplied screws to fasten the brackets. For Toyota cars, the

supplied screws 6 should be used.

Notes

• Do not press the front panel buttons of

the unit during installation and do not

apply strong force.

• Do not place any objects on top of the

unit.

• If a salient of the genuine bracket

makes attachment hard, process the

Align the brackets of the factory-installed car stereo with the

mounting holes marked "N" on the side of the main unit, and use

the supplied pan-head screws 6 to fasten the brackets.

installation. If any other screws are used, make sure they

conform to the requirements shown below.
