• Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a safe and secure installation.

Note on the power supply lead (yellow)

When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo components, the amperage rating of the car circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher than the sum of each component's fuse amperage rating.

Note on installing in cars with a start-stop system

The unit may restart when starting the engine from start-stop. In this case, turn off the start-stop system of your car.

Note on installing in cars with electric parking brake system

For cars with electric parking brakes, some related functions (such as video blocking function) may not work properly.

Installing the microphone

To capture your voice during handsfree calling, you need to install the microphone ③.

Cautions

• It is extremely dangerous if the cord becomes wound around the steering column or gearstick. Be sure to keep it and other parts from interfering with your driving operations.
• If airbags or any other shock-absorbing equipment are in your car, contact the store where you purchased this unit or the car dealer before installation.

Notes

• When mounting on the dashboard, remove the visor clip carefully from the microphone ③, then attach the flat-mount base ④ to the microphone ③.
• Before attaching the double-sided tape ⑤, clean the surface of the dashboard with a dry cloth.

Using the wired remote control

1 To enable the wired remote control, set [Steering Control] in [General] to [Preset].

Using the rear view camera

Installation of the rear view camera (not supplied) is required before use.

The picture from a rear view camera connected to the CAMERA IN terminal is displayed when:

• the back lamp of your car lights up (or the shift lever is set to the R (reverse) position).
• you press HOME, then touch [Rear Camera].

Installation

Removing the mounting sleeve

Before installing the unit, remove the mounting sleeve ⑧ from the unit.

1 Insert both release keys ⑩ until they click, and pull down the mounting sleeve ⑧, then pull up the unit to separate.

Mounting the unit in the dashboard

• Before installing, make sure the catches on both sides of the mounting sleeve ⑧ are bent inwards 3.5 mm (5/32 in).
• For Japanese cars, see "Mounting the unit in a Japanese car" (page 14).

1 Position the mounting sleeve ⑧ inside the dashboard, then bend the claws outward for a tight fit.

2 Mount the unit onto the mounting sleeve ⑧.

Notes

• If the catches are straight or bent outwards, the unit will not be installed securely and may spring out.
• Make sure the 4 catches on the trim ring ⑨ are properly engaged in the slots of the mounting sleeve ⑧.

Mounting the unit in a Japanese car

You may not be able to install this unit in some Japanese cars. In such a case, consult your Sony dealer.

When mounting this unit to the preinstalled brackets of your car, use the mounting screws ② in the appropriate screw holes based on your car: T for TOYOTA and N for NISSAN.
