To install:

1. Installation is the reverse of the removal process, noting the following:
   1. After the electrical connection is secure and the antenna cable is connected, find the radio locator tab.
   2. If the locator tab is difficult to align to the instrument panel locator opening, pull the radio towards you and reposition the antenna cable.
   3. Gently install the radio to the instrument panel, aligning the radio locator tab to the instrument panel locator opening while carefully pressing the radio into the instrument panel until fully seated.
   
   
2. Install the trim plate bezel.
3. Connect the negative battery cable.
4. Unlock the THEFTLOCK® radio (if applicable).
5. Program the radio stations back into the radio as recorded at the beginning of this procedure (if applicable).
