Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for this type of part, mounting the bracket is a mechanical job without interference with the electronics, but the exact fit and location may vary depending on the specific car design and equipment.

1) Before assembly

• Compare the new bracket with the old piece: shape, orientation, number and spacing of mounting holes.
• Check that the bracket is not bent, cracked or has stripped threads/damaged seating surfaces.
• If you are adding a CD changer, check that you also have the necessary accessories available (e.g. cabling – according to the documents, code 6560XR).

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Normal set of hand tools (typically screwdrivers and socket wrenches depending on the connecting material used)
• Flashlight
• Cleaning agent/degreaser and rag (for cleaning the contact surfaces)
• Cable tapes / insulating tape (for uncluttered wiring if installed at the same time)

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Secure the vehicle against movement and prepare a work area.
2. If the audio accessory connectors are to be tampered with, it is typically recommended to disconnect the battery (according to practice and vehicle manufacturer instructions).
3. Get access to the place of installation of the holder (according to the specific design of the interior).
4. Remove the remains of the original attachment (if present) and clean the mating surfaces.
5. Place the bracket in place and check that it aligns correctly with the mounting points.
6. Screw/fasten the holder “lightly” first so that the position can be slightly corrected.
7. After comparing the bracket, tighten the fasteners evenly so that the bracket sits firmly and is not under tension.
8. If you are installing a CD changer at the same time, place it in the holder and secure according to its fastening.
9. Route the cabling so that it does not break anywhere, is not pinched and does not interfere with moving parts (where relevant).
10. Make a final check that neither the bracket nor the converter has any play or rattles.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Check the firmness of the attachment and possible vibrations when closing/opening the surrounding covers.
  • If a converter with cabling was also installed, verify the function of the audio system (device detection, playback) according to the equipment options.
  • During a test drive, listen for any squeaking noises – this typically indicates loose fasteners or poorly routed cabling.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Assembly “crooked” over dirt → always clean the contact surfaces and fit the holder loosely first.
  • Thread pulling/pulling off → tighten with sensitivity, especially for smaller screws.
  • Pinched or badly routed cabling → route the cables with a margin and fix them so that they do not rub.
  • Missing cabling → when completing the system, consider the possibility of purchasing additional connecting cabling (6560XR is mentioned in the documents).

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Unprofessional disassembly/assembly – bending of the holder, torn threads, cracks in the attachment.
  • Vibration and long-term stress – loose fastening can squeeze holes or cause deformation over time.
  • Incorrect mounting of the CD changer – improper seating puts stress on the holder in places where it shouldn’t.
  • Corrosion/Oxidation (depending on the environment) – can reduce the strength and make disassembly of the connecting material more difficult.
