8. If you are securing the stereo in an
existing mounting hole in the dash,
push the supplied rubber mounting
grommet onto the mounting bolt.
Then push the mounting bolt (cov-
ered by the grommet) through the
mounting hole and make sure it is
secure.
Or, use one of the supplied bolts
(with attached washer) to attach one
end of the supplied metal strap to
the mounting hole on the back of the
stereo. If necessary, bend the strap
to fit your vehicle’s mounting area.
Then use either the supplied sheet
metal screws or the other bolt (with
attached washer) to attach the other

of the vehicle under the dashboard.
This strap also helps ensure proper
