The radio is fixed, designed according to the compartment’s specific characteristics and with a personalised de-
sign meeting perfectly the style of dashboard.
The radio is installed in an ergonomic position for the driver and passenger, and controls can be quickly locat-
ed from the graphical display on the front, making the device easy to use.
To increase protection against theft, the device has a protection system that only allows it to be used on the
car in which it has originally been installed.
The instructions for use are given below and we recommend you to read them carefully and always keep them
at hand (for example, inside glove compartment).
We hope you enjoy reading this manual!

The use of original CD supports is re-
quired for the best quality audio produc-
tion. Correct operation is not guaranteed
when CD-R/RW media are used that
were not correctly burned and/or with
a maximum capacity of 650 MB.WARNINGSWhen using copy-pro-
tected CDs, they may be a delay of a few
seconds before the system starts to play
them. In addition, since many new and dif-
ferent protection methods are continu-
ously being introduced, it is not possible
to guarantee that the CD player will play
any protected CD. The presence of copy
protection is often in small letters or may
be difficult to read on the cover of the ac-
tual CD and it may say something like, for
example, “COPY CONTROL”, “COPY
PROTECTED”, “THIS CD CANNOT BE
PLAYED ON A PC/MAC”, or identified
through the use of symbols, such as, for
example:In addition, protected discs often do not
display the audio disc identification sym-
bol on the discs and on their cases:
WARNINGDo not use commercially
available CD protective skins or discs with
stabilisers, etc. since they might become
jammed in the internal mechanism and
damage the disc.
