4. Installation Guide

This section provides a step-by-step guide for installing your new car radio. It is recommended to watch the full installation video before starting.

4.1. Disassembly (Trim Removal)

1. Carefully remove the center stack trim using plastic trim removal tools. Start from the driver's side, gently leveraging until the clips release.
2. Work your way across to the passenger side, releasing one clip at a time.
3. Once the trim is loose, disconnect the light switch, hazard switch, and AC controls by pressing the release tabs on their connectors.

4.2. Disassembly (Radio Removal)

1. Remove the Philips screws holding the factory radio unit in place. There are screws on the outside and one deeper down.
2. To clear the shifter, pry open the small slot next to the shifter using a small tool or screwdriver. Push down the release mechanism inside the slot.
3. With the release mechanism engaged, move the shifter from Park (P) all the way down to '1'. Ensure the parking brake is engaged to prevent the car from moving.
4. Carefully pull out the radio unit. Disconnect all electrical connectors from the back of the unit by pressing their release tabs.

4.3. Initial Wiring & Screen Preparation

Before installing the new screen into the dashboard, perform initial wiring on a workbench.

1. Refer to the provided wiring diagrams in the user manual.
2. Connect the main power harness to the back of the new head unit. Ensure it clicks securely.
3. Connect the RCA cluster cable to the corresponding ports on the head unit.
4. Plug in the two USB ports and the GPS antenna.
5. If using an external microphone, connect it to the designated port.
6. Connect the brown "BACK" wire from the main harness to the red wire of the rearview camera cable. This signals the unit to switch to the camera view when reversing.

4.4. Screen Installation & Testing

1. Connect the prepared new head unit to the car's original wiring harnesses.
2. Turn the car's ignition to the ON position (do not start the engine).
3. Test the touchscreen functionality, audio output, and basic app navigation.
4. Shift the car into Reverse (R) to test the backup camera display.
5. If all functions work correctly, proceed to secure the unit.

4.5. Rearview Camera Wiring & Routing

To ensure the backup camera functions correctly and cables are neatly hidden:

1. Route the long rearview camera cable from the head unit along the driver's side, under the weather strips of the A-pillar and side pillars, towards the rear of the vehicle.
2. Ensure the cable does not obstruct any side curtain airbags.
3. At the rear, open the tailgate trim panels.
4. Locate the license plate lights. Remove one of the light housings.
5. Drill a small hole next to the license plate light opening to pass the camera cable through.
6. Connect the camera's yellow RCA cable to the main rearview cable.
7. Splice the camera's red power wire to the green wire of the reverse light connector. Use a quick splice connector for a secure connection.
8. Mount the camera securely near the license plate light, ensuring a clear view.
9. Seal any drilled holes with silicone to prevent water intrusion.
10. Reinstall all trim panels.
