- Adjust the cable length between the telephone holder and surround.
- Reinstall the housing and air vents.

Note! When the air vents' housing is reinstalled, make sure that the protruding parts on the right-hand end of the housing do not damage the dashboard.




- Route the long cable (1) in the secured mounting plate, inside the panel, over the air duct (2) and forward. Route the cable out where the inner part of the glove compartment was fitted.

- Secure the antenna cable at the air duct to prevent damage. Use three tie straps from the kit.




- Connect the short antenna cable (1) from the mounting plate to the newly routed antenna cable (2).
