Car Radio facility Part 2 - Installing Your New Radio

Slide the metal mounting sleeve (or cage) off your new radio and push this into the radio cleft in your dash until the small outer lip on the sleeve meets with the edge of the radio aperture. To make the cage fit into the radio cleft more easily, bend the top and bottom until they meet in the middle.

Some radios' sleeves have been assigned a top and bottom and want installing the correct way up. If you have a radio cleft that is not the accepted (Din) size rectangular shape you will need a fascia adaptor to cut the cleft size, so your new radio will fit.

Now, bend the tabs on the installed cage sleeve, using a small screwdriver or right-angled pick-tool, outwards from the cage to hold it securely in position.

Pull the car's radio wiring harness out of the radio aperture. Now, associate the lead that came with your new radio to this and also push the aerial lead into the radio's aerial socket on the rear of your radio. If your car's wiring harness relationship is a different shape to that supplied with your new radio, you will need a harness adaptor.

To cease the installation, slide the radio into the sleeve but don't push it all the way in. Turn your radio on to ensure it is working well. Save a radio center into button estimate one by depressing the button for five seconds. Now, turn your radio off and take off your keys from the ignition. Insert your keys back into your ignition and switch your radio back. This is to ensure it has retained the memorized radio station.

To cease off, clip on the radio trim to give it a neat finish, and then finally, push it in fully until you hear it lock into position with the cage.
