IMPORTANT NOTICE

Whenever working on the vehicle, it is recommended to disconnect the battery prior to starting work. Failure to do so may lead to a risk of electric shock or equipment damage.

When connecting power and ground wires ensure that the red power wire is fused at the point where it is connected to the vehicle's battery. Failure to do so can result in damage to the vehicle if a short circuit develops between the vehicle connection point and the product.

INSTALLATION TOOLS

The following is a list of suggested tools needed for installation:

• Torx T8 Screwdriver
• Torx T20 Screwdriver
• Drill and 18 " Drill Bit

INSTALLATION

Step 1 - Remove the cover from top center of the dash.

Step 2 - Locate the four (4) dimples formed into the tray area on the top center dash. Two are located toward the front and two are at the rear under the cover that was just removed. Using a 18 " drill bit, drill through the dimples just enough to expose the existing boss located below. Caution: Drilling deeper can damage the bosses beneath and prevent proper installation of the dash kit.

Step 3 - Using a 1" hole saw, drill a hole in the top of the dash to pass the wiring harness through. Our recommended location is indicated in the picture. Note: The 12-volt power port can be removed and used to pass the harness through the dash if you do not desire to drill a separate hole. This will require the removal of the center dash console panel to remove the power port.

Step 4 - Prepare the AWMC3 radio unit by removing the two (2) threaded studs from the back of the radio.

Step 6 - Sliding the plate toward the rear of the kit, install the radio into the kit opening from the rear making sure the top of the radio is between the kit face and compression plate. Once in position, press the radio forward into the opening until it is flush with the front and aligned with the pre-molded screw holes.

Step 9 - Prepare the pigtail harness supplied with the AWMC3 radio for installation by connecting additional wire to reach power / ground locations, speaker wire if needed and amplifier turn on wire. Note: If the radio installation is part of a full plug and play kit, use the pigtail supplied with the kit and not the radio. Start the installation by passing the pigtail harness down through the 1" hole previously drilled.

Step 10 - At this time, any RCA signal wires should be fed up through the hole for connection to the radio unit. Once wires are in place, make the appropriate connections to the radio.

Step 11 - With connections made, collect the wire harness under the kit shroud and place the radio kit on top of the dash aligning it with the four (4) holes drilled earlier. Making sure all wires are tucked under the kit, secure it in place with the four (4) screws provided

Step 12 - With the radio secure, make the appropriate electrical connections to complete the install such as power, ground and remote turn on for amplifiers.

Step 13 - Reassemble and go ride.
