- When installing the main unit in NISSAN vehicles, use the parts attached to the unit and follow the instructions in Figure 3. When installing the main unit in TOYOTA vehicles, use the parts attached to the vehicle and follow the instructions in Figure 4.

● Wire as shown in Section 9.→ P.15

● Reassemble and secure the unit in the dashboard and set the face panel and center panel.

*1 Position the face panel with its wide edge at the bottom. Fit the edge into the groove of the main unit.

Installing the Main Unit in a TOYOTA Vehicle

Install by using parts attached to the vehicle. (Screws marked ★ are attached to the vehicle.)

Figure 4
*2 Some panel openings are too small for the unit depending on the vehicle type and model. In such a case, trim the upper and lower sides of the panel frame by about 0.5 to 1.5 mm so the unit can be inserted smoothly.
*3 If a hook on the installation bracket interferes with the unit, bend and flatten it with a nipper or similar tool.

Vehicles other than NISSAN and TOYOTA

In some cases the center panel may require modification. (Trimming, filing, etc.)

6. REMOVING THE MAIN UNIT

When the main unit is to be removed, disassemble it in the reverse of the order in "INSTALLING THE MAIN UNIT".→ P.12

7. CAUTIONS ON WIRING

• Be sure to turn the power off before wiring.
  Be particularly careful where you route the wires.
• Keep them well away from the engine, and exhaust pipe, etc. Heat may damage the wires.
• If the fuse should blow, check to see if the wiring is correct.
  If a fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same specification as the original.
  ● To replace the fuse, remove the old fuse of the power supply cable and insert the new one. (Figure 5)

● There are various types of fuse holder. Do not let the battery side touch other metal parts.

CAUTION

• After connecting the HDMI and USB cables to the unit, use a cable tie to tie them down. (Figure 6)

8. INSTALLING THE GPS ANTENNA (NX603 ONLY)

WARNING

• Do not install the GPS antenna in a place where it may interfere with the operation of the airbag or hinder the driver's visual range.
• Do not use the navigation system with the GPS antenna cable cut off. The power in the cable may be short-circuited.

● The supplied GPS antenna is for installing inside the vehicle. Do not install it outside the vehicle.
● Install the GPS antenna more than 19.7in (50 cm) away from the main unit, other audio devices such as CD player, and a radar detector. If it is installed near these devices, GPS reception may be impaired.
● To improve the GPS signal reception, install the GPS antenna horizontally on a flat plane.
- Do not wax or paint the cover of the GPS antenna. This may reduce the performance of the GPS antenna.
● Install the GPS antenna at least 3.9in (10 cm) away from the windshield.
● Wipe off the dirt of the mounting surface before installing the GPS antenna.
● Stick the double-sided tape to the bottom face of the GPS antenna.

● Mount the GPS antenna.

Stick it surely on a flat plane of the passenger-side dashboard where GPS signal interruption is minimized.

● Wire the GPS antenna cable.

Fasten the cable using the Cable holders.

See next page for how to connect the parking brake lead.

■ Connecting the parking brake lead

Connect the lead to parking brake lamp ground in the meter panel.

• Connecting the parking brake lead to lamp ground allows you to watch video images when the parking brake is engaged.
• When the parking brake lead is not connected, the monitor will not display video images.
• If "Audio Only" appears on the screen just after turning on the ACC power of the car, release the parking brake while confirming safety, and then engage the parking brake again.

● How to attach the electro-tap

1. Place the Parking brake lead at the stopper, and fold it back in the direction of the arrow.
2. Pass the Parking brake signal lead through, and fold it back in the direction of the arrow.
