4.2 Step-by-Step Installation:

1. Remove Original Trim: Carefully use trim removal tools to pry off the existing dashboard trim surrounding the factory radio. Work slowly to avoid damaging clips or the dashboard surface.
2. Unscrew Factory Radio: Once the trim is removed, locate and unscrew the bolts or screws holding the factory radio in place.
3. Disconnect Wiring: Gently pull out the factory radio and disconnect all wiring harnesses and antenna cables from its rear.
4. Prepare New Head Unit: If not already done, attach the mounting brackets (usually supplied with the 9-inch head unit) to your new Android stereo.
5. Connect Wiring Harness: Connect the provided ISO wiring harness from the YTRIO kit to the vehicle's factory wiring. Ensure all connections are secure. Connect the other end of the ISO harness to your new 9-inch Android head unit.
6. Install New Head Unit: Slide the new 9-inch Android head unit into the dashboard opening. Secure it using the mounting brackets and screws.
7. Install YTRIO Frame: Position the YTRIO Car Radio Frame around the newly installed 9-inch head unit. Align the clips and gently press the frame into place until it snaps securely into the dashboard.
8. Reconnect Battery: Reconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.

6. Troubleshooting

• Frame Does Not Fit:

  • Confirm all wiring harness connections are secure and correctly matched.
  • Check the vehicle's fuses.
