INSTALLATION
This unit is designed for installation in cars, trucks and vans with an existing

supply stores and car stereo specialty shops. Always check the kit
application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle.
If you have trouble locating a kit or need installation assistance, contact

Preparation
1. Disconnect Battery
Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal.
NOTE: If the MP6312i is to be installed in a car equipped with an on-
board drive or navigation computer, do not disconnect the battery
cable. If the cable is disconnected, the computer memory may be lost.
Under these conditions, use extra caution during installation to avoid
causing a short circuit.
2. Remove Transport Screws
3. Remove Radio from Sleeve
Lift latches on both sides of sleeve to remove half-sleeve from radio.
Mounting Sleeve Installation
1. Slide the mounting sleeve off the chassis. If it is locked into position,
use the removal tools (supplied) to disengage it.
2. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into
it.
If the opening is too small, carefully cut or file as necessary until the
sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the
opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check for sufficient space behind
the dashboard for the radio chassis.
3. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom, and sides of the
mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard
opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary to firmly
secure the sleeve to the dashboard.
CAUTION: For proper operation of the CD player, the chassis must be
mounted within 20° of horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted within
this limitation.
