4.1 Tools Required
- Plastic trim removal tools
- Screwdrivers (Phillips and flathead)
- Socket wrench set (if applicable)
4.2 Step-by-Step Installation
- Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the parking brake is engaged. Disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery.
- Remove Original Fascia: Carefully use plastic trim removal tools to pry off the existing dashboard trim panels surrounding the factory radio. Locate and remove any screws or clips securing the original radio and fascia.
- Disconnect Factory Radio: Once the original radio is accessible, disconnect all wiring harnesses and antenna cables from the back of the unit.
- Install New Android Radio (Not Included): Mount your 9-inch Android radio into the new fascia adapter. Ensure it fits securely.
- Connect Canbus Box and Wiring: Connect the provided Canbus box and wiring harness to your new Android radio and the vehicle's existing wiring. The Canbus box facilitates communication between the new radio and the vehicle's systems (e.g., steering wheel controls, vehicle information display). Follow the wiring diagram provided with your Android radio and Canbus box for correct connections.
- Test Connections: Before fully reassembling, reconnect the vehicle battery and briefly turn on the ignition to test the new Android radio's functionality, including power, audio, and steering wheel controls (if applicable).
- Install New Fascia: Carefully position the new fascia adapter with the installed Android radio into the dashboard opening. Ensure all clips and mounting points align. Press firmly until the fascia snaps into place, creating a seamless contour fit. Reinstall any screws removed earlier.
- Final Check: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Verify all functions of the new radio and ensure all dashboard components are securely fastened.

5. Operation
The KITQLPG Car Frame Fascia Adapter itself does not have operational controls. Its function is to provide a secure and aesthetically pleasing mounting solution for a 9-inch Android car radio. All operational aspects, such as navigating menus, playing media, or using navigation features, are controlled directly through the installed Android radio unit. Refer to the instruction manual provided with your specific Android radio for detailed operating instructions.
The Canbus box included in this kit ensures that your vehicle's original functions, such as steering wheel controls and vehicle information displays, remain compatible and functional with the new Android radio. If you experience issues with these functions, verify the Canbus connections.
6. Maintenance
The fascia adapter requires minimal maintenance. To keep it in good condition:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check that the fascia remains securely fitted and that there are no loose connections around the radio unit.
- Environmental Care: Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, which can cause material degradation over time.

| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
