Mounting frame car stereo
It is nice to be able to play music while driving. Interfering channels can then be very
annoying. If this bothers you, you can choose to install a new car radio . When
you install a universal radio, instead of the original car radio, there is a
good chance that a mounting frame will also have to be purchased. This is to
allow the car radio to flow nicely into the dashboard. Which frame you need
therefore depends entirely on the type and model of the car radio that you buy.
1-DIN and 2-DIN mounting frames Before you
buy a car radio mounting frame, you must know which car radio will be
installed. Is this a 1-Din or 2-Din radio? 1-Din car radios usually have a
small display screen and the dimensions are 180 x 50 millimeters. This is the
standard car radio format with the basic options such as DAB+, USB or AUX.
A 2-Din car
radio is 180 x 100 millimeters and has the advantage that a screen is built in.
Installing a 2-Din car radio is not possible in every car because the
dimensions may not correspond to the possibilities in the dashboard of the car.
You can
purchase the matching mounting frame based on your choice for a 1-Din or 2-Din
car radio.
Install car radio mounting frame Placing a
new mounting frame is in most cases necessary when installing a new car radio.
Accessories are generally not included with the radio. So always check whether
more parts are needed when replacing the car radio. When installing a car
radio, it is important to work carefully and to take plenty of time to install
it properly.
First of
all, the old radio will have to be removed. You can remove it with an unlocking
key. You insert this into the holes of the car radio, after which it will come
loose. You can now disconnect the wiring and connectors and remove the radio
and frame. The new car radio can then be installed. First place the new
mounting frame and check whether the cables and plugs fit into the new radio.
Before you fasten the radio, it is useful to test it. Does everything work
well? Then you can fix the new car radio in the new mounting frame.
