- Route the cables from the mounting plate through the hole behind the instrument panel.




- Press the bracket against the mating surfaces where the three holes are to be drilled.
- Hold the bracket firmly in place. First drill the two marked holes through the bracket and the dashboard. Use a -5 mm (13/64") diameter drill bit. Use a 25 mm (1") diameter drill stop.




- Insert the bracing plate (1) through the hole in the dashboard.
- Secure the bracket (2) using two screws (3) from the kit while pressing the bracket against the mating surfaces.

- Drill out the last hole. Use a -5 mm (13/64") diameter drill bit.
- Insert the bracing plate (5) through the hole in the dashboard.
- Secure the bracket using a screw (4) from the kit.




- Mark out the hole for the cables for the handset holder and bracket on the surround for the combined instrument panel.
- File out a groove for the cables for the handset holder (1) in the combined instrument panel surround. File the hole so that it is large enough for any excess wiring to be routed through the hole and hidden on the inside of the dashboard.
- File out a groove for the installed bracket (2).
- Smooth off the edges of the groove.




- Route the cables from the mounting plate in the hole behind the combined instrument panel so that the handset holder can be positioned.

- Clean the inside of the windshield using isopropanol.




- Remove the protective film from the antenna and position as illustrated.




- Pull the antenna cable down along the A pillar towards the dashboard and out by the end.
- Secure the cable using three tie straps.

Warning! The inflatable curtain (IC) is located inside the A-pillar panel, it is important that the cable is not positioned on it.

Installing the microphone




- Take the microphone's mounting plate from the kit. Position the mounting plate on the top end of the A pillar panel, parallel with the top edge. See the illustration. If the microphone is already installed in the mounting plate, remove it. It is secured by two hooks on the long sides.
- Mark out and drill the holes for the mounting plate. Use a -3 mm (1/8") diameter drill bit.
- Remove any swarf.




- Install the mounting plate on the A-post panel using two screws from the kit.

Warning! The inflatable curtain (IC) is located inside the A-post panel. It is important to file off the screws securing the mounting plate if necessary, so that they just fit through the panel.
- Check how much of the screws protrudes on the reverse. Unscrew the screws. File off the screws to the correct length.
- Reinstall the screws.




- Press the microphone from the kit into place on the mounting plate.




- Route the microphone cable on the inside of the A-post panel. Secure the cable using pieces of butyl tape.
