Installation
CAUTION
When you install this unit in your car, do not remove the
detachable front panel.
If the detachable front panel is removed during installation, you
might press too hard and warp the metal plate that holds it in
place.
The main unit must be mounted within 35 degrees of the
horizontal plane, back to front.
1
Remove the mounting sleeve from the main unit (refer to
“Removal” on page 48). Slide the mounting sleeve into the
dashboard and fix it with the metal shackles.
* If the installed mounting sleeve is loose in the dashboard, the
pressure plates may be bent slightly to remedy the problem.
2
When your vehicle has the Bracket, mount the long hex
bolt onto the rear panel of the CDE-178BT/iDE-178BT/
CDE-175R and put the Rubber Cap on the hex bolt. If your
vehicle does not have the Mounting Support, reinforce
the head unit with the metal mounting strap (not
supplied). Connect all other leads of the CDE-178BT/
iDE-178BT/CDE-175R according to details described in the
CONNECTIONS section.

3
Slide the CDE-178BT/iDE-178BT/CDE-175R into the
dashboard. When the unit is in place, make sure the
locking pins are fully seated in the down position. This can
be done by pressing firmly in on the unit while pushing
the locking pin down with a small screwdriver. This
ensures that the unit is properly locked and will not
accidentally come out from the dashboard. Install the
detachable front panel.
1
Remove the detachable front panel.
2
Use a small screwdriver (or similar tool) to push the
locking pins to the “up” position (see above drawing). As
each pin is unlocked, gently pull out on the unit to make
sure it does not re-lock before unlocking the second pin.
3
Pull the unit out, keeping it unlocked as you do so.
