If the antenna lead from the vehicle side is too short, please obtain an antenna extension cord available in the market.
For installation, the factory heater control unit, hazard lamp switch, etc. need to be detached and reassembled on the panel included in this set. It is necessary to cut off two holding flaps at the top of the heater control unit. (It is possible to re-install the factory equipment after the procedure.)
Car A/V equipment with a front panel size over 172 mm width and 100 mm height cannot be installed.
Car A/V equipment up to 172 mm in length may be installed. However, some equipment may be incompatible due to the position of wire connecting units located in the interior, to the irregularity of the shape of the connector units or to the space limitation for the connecting wires.
