Removable Control Panel (Front Panel)

Theft Protection The audio unit is equipped with a removable control panel (front panel) as a theft deterrent. Without the front panel, the unit has no value to thieves. To protect the audio unit from theft, remove the front panel every time you leave the vehicle. Do not leave it in the vehicle, even in a hidden place.

The control panel has an ergonomic design that makes the radio easy to use.

• Do not drop the control panel.
• Do not expose the control panel to direct sunlight or other heat sources.
• Avoid touching the electrical contacts of the panel with your fingers.

If necessary, clean the contacts with a lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol.

Removal of the Control Panel Press button 2.

The front panel slides forward.

Holding the panel by the right side, pull it out of the bracket.

• When the control panel is removed, the radio turns off.
• All current settings are retained.
• The compact disc in the radio remains in place.

Installing the Control PanelTake the control panel and hold it at approximately a right angle to the radio.

Insert the panel into the guide slots on the left and right of the radio at the bottom of the mounting bracket. Carefully press the panel onto the radio until it clicks into place.

• When installing the panel, do not press on the display! If the radio was on when the panel was removed, it will turn on automatically after installation with the last settings used (i.e., the radio, CD/MP3* player, CD changer, or AUX will operate).
