2003-2010 Renault Megane head unit installation guide
1.Unscrew any screws that are securing the trim in place. Be careful to remove all screws before trying to pry off the trim or you may break it.
2.Remove the trim with specific pry tools.
3.Pull out any necessary components. Disconnect components that are wired to the car. Take a picture of how each is wired for later reference.
4.Loosen the original radio and take it out of the dashboard.
5.Disconnect the connectors at the back of the original radio.
- Match up the wires. Match the wires of the car’s harnesses to the new Seicane unit’s harnesses. Each harness connector is unique, so it should be easy to figure out which ones fit together.
- Assemble the mounting kit. If your new Seicane unit comes with a separate mounting kit, assemble it according to the unit’s instructions (it will often mean fitting a metal housing sleeve into the mounting frame).
Push down on the tabs located around the metal sleeve with a screwdriver to secure the metal sleeve in place.
- Connect the power source. Typically, if you have a wiring harness, this connection will be made when you connect the new unit harnesses to the harnesses in the car.
If you aren’t using a wiring harnesses, you’ll need to manually connect the power. Determine whether your car has a switched power source (typically a red wire) or a constant power source (typically a yellow wire). Some vehicles even have both types of power sources.
9.Ground the new Seicane unit. If you’re using wiring harnesses, this connection will be made when you connect the harness pieces.
If you aren’t using a wiring harness, you’ll need to locate the bolt, wire, or screw that connects with the car’s bare metal chassis. Loosen the bolt, wire, or screw and slip the unit’s ground wire (usually black) underneath, then tighten.
10.Connect the remaining wires. Plug in the antenna cable and connect the unit’s wiring adapter to the car’s wire harness. Connect the output converter if one is needed to make the new unit compatible with the car’s audio system.
11.Test the stereo. Turn the power on and test the AM, FM, and CD components. Test the fade and balance settings to be sure the speakers are working properly. Turn the power back off.
- Put the new Seicane unit into the dashboard. And install all the screws and trim panels into their original place.
Wish the above guide can be helpful for you. If you find it too complicated to understand, it’s suggested you go to a car stereo upgrade center to install it or ask a professional technician to help with it.
