STEP 4: Adjust to Fit Your Vehicle Specic Kit
One of the most frequent quesons we get is “How can your radio t my car?”.
The Model Two radio is a universal soluon (one chassis for most vehicles) and
its control face is a xed size (3.5” W x 1.5” H). Most American cars t the radio
and the bezel from behind the dash. The bezel ts around the Model Two con-
trol face to ll the original factory opening.
The Model Two control face is NOT referred to as a faceplate. A faceplate is a
piece that overlays or covers the top or front of the dash. A faceplate is used in
most European or Japanese cars, and can also be used on a modied dash to
disguise any blemishes or poorly made modicaons.
Locate the appropriate bezel or faceplate and perform the following steps to-
mount the radio behind the dash opening:
FACEPLATE: Use the supplied nuts and washers to align the faceplate onto the
sha. DO NOT overghten. Once the shas are lined up to the sha openings
on your vehicle-specic faceplate, use a nut and washer to hold the faceplate in
place on the shas. Adjust the nut height so that the faceplate aligns ush with
your dash and the radio’s control face. See “Figure 4 - Install Vehicle Specic
Faceplate”.
BEZEL: Place the bezel on the face of the radio and install through the back
opening of your dash.
NOTE: With the faceplate pictured below, the area around the radio face
(chrome or black) mounts on top of the dash.
