Installation recommendations
Warning: It is stated in the documents that the radio must be added to the car by diagnostics. The exact procedure may vary depending on the specific model and equipment of the vehicle.
1) Before assembly
- Compare the label codes of the radio (96647697XT / 16077504XT / 6564ZS / 6564ZT) with the old part or with the required part number.
- Check the condition of the connectors (bent pins, play), mechanical damage to the front panel and the functionality of the CD slot.
- If possible, check that the radio is not dirty or clogged (oxidation around the connectors).
2) Necessary tools and materials
- A basic set of hand tools (typically for removing on-board parts).
- Tools for dismantling the car radio (according to the type of attachment in the vehicle).
- Vehicle compatible diagnostics for radio upload/pairing.
- Contact cleaning spray (optional) and dry cloth.
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure (typically)
- Turn off the ignition and secure the vehicle against movement.
- For work safety, disconnect the battery (typically minus pole).
- Remove the frame/trim around the radio according to the dashboard design.
- Unfasten the old radio and carefully pull the radio out of the hole.
- Disconnect all connectors and antenna cable, check their condition.
- Compare the connectors and mounts of the new radio with the old piece.
- If necessary, clean the contacts and connect the connectors and antenna to the new radio.
- Place the radio in the hole and secure it according to the original attachment.
- Refit the bezel/trim.
- Connect the battery.
- Turn on the ignition and test the basic functions (power on, sound, CD).
- Perform the radio to the car diagnostic according to the procedure for the specific vehicle.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Verify that the radio communicates correctly with the car and behaves as standard (start, control, sound).
- Check reception stability and possible audio dropouts during normal operation.
- After loading with diagnostics, re-verify all functions including CD.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Swap by similar appearance: codes always decide (e.g. 96647697XT, 6564ZS).
- Loose/Poorly Seated Connectors: After plugging in, gently check for detent and play.
- Damage to the pins when inserting: insert the connectors axially, without force.
- Voltage fluctuations in the on-board network (weak battery, bad recharging) and subsequent load on the radio electronics.
- Oxidation of connectors and increased transition resistance (moisture, smearing, age).
- Mechanical damage during unprofessional disassembly/assembly or prying of the lining.
- Wear of the CD drive (dirt, dust, frequent use).
- Incorrect wiring or incompatible accessories that may stress the power supply or signal line.
